Psalms 9:11-20

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;

Declare His deeds among the peoples.

12For He who requires blood remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the needy.

13Be gracious to me, Lord;

See my oppression from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14So that I may tell of all Your praises,

That in the gates of the daughter of Zion

I may rejoice in Your salvation.

15The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made;

In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16The Lord has made Himself known;

He has executed judgment.

A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion

17The wicked will return to Sheol,

All the nations who forget God.

18For the needy will not always be forgotten,

Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

19Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail;

Let the nations be judged before You.

20Put them in fear, Lord;

Let the nations know that they are merely human.
