Context of Psalms 9:14
12The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people. He has never forgotten their cries. 13Have pity on me, O Lord. Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me. You take me away from the gates of death so that I may recite your praises one by one in the gates of Zion and find joy in your salvation. 15The nations have sunk into the pit they have made. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⌞to trap others⌟. 16The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out. The wicked person is trapped by the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah
