Psalms 9:12-18

12For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help

13when they prayed: “Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

14Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

15The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.

16The Lord revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)

17The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

18for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
