13. For the avenger of bloodshed remembers,does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
14. Be gracious to me, Lord;see how my foes afflict me!You alone can raise me from the gates of death.
15. Then I will declare all your praises,sing joyously of your salvationin the gates of daughter Zion.
16. The nations fall into the pit they dig;in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.
17. The Lord is revealed in making judgments:by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped.Higgaion. Selah*
18. To Sheol the wicked will depart,all the nations that forget God.
19. For the needy will never be forgotten,nor will the hope of the afflicted ever fade.
20. Arise, Lord, let no mortal prevail;let the nations be judged in your presence.
21. Strike them with terror, Lord;show the nations they are only human.Selah
