Psalm 9:16

Verse 16 of 20. The 9th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

12For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

13Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,

14that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

16The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

17The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

19Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

20Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
