Context of Psalms 9:14
12For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer. 13Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death. Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me. 15The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set. 16The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude
