Psalms 9:12-18

12For the one who seeks an accounting for bloodshed remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.

13Be gracious to me, Lord; consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me. Lift me up from the gates of death,

14so that I may declare all your praises. I will rejoice in your salvation within the gates of Daughter Zion.

15The nations have fallen into the pit they made; their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.

16The Lord has made himself known; he has executed justice, snaring the wicked by the work of their hands.Higgaion. Selah

17The wicked will return to Sheol  — all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy will not always be forgotten; the hope of the oppressed will not perish forever.
