Psalms 9:13-20

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.

19Rise up, Lord! Don’t let men be defiant! May the nations be judged in your presence!

20Terrify them, Lord! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)
