11. You rule from Zion, Lord,and we sing about youto let the nations knoweverything you have done.
12. You did not forgetto punish the guiltyor listen to the criesof those in need.
13. Please have mercy, Lord!My enemies ill-treat me.Keep me from the gatesthat lead to death,
14. and I will sing about youat the gate to Zion.I will be happy therebecause you rescued me.
15. Our Lord, the nations fellinto their own pits,and their feet were caughtin their own traps.
16. You showed what you are like,and you made certainthat justice is done,but evil people are trappedby their own evil deeds.
17. The wicked will go downto the world of the deadto be with those nationsthat forgot about you.
18. The poor and the homelesswon't always be forgottenand without hope.
19. Do something, Lord!Don't let the nations win.Make them stand trialin your court of law.
20. Make the nations afraidand let them all discoverjust how weak they are.
