16 The Lord has made himself known;

he has executed justice,af

snaring the wicked

by the work of their hands.a

Higgaion. Selah

17 The wicked will return to Sheolb—

all the nations that forget God.c

18 For the needy will not always be forgotten;

the hope of the oppressedA will not perish forever.d

19 Rise up, Lord! Do not let mere humans prevail;

let the nations be judged in your presence.e

20 Put terror in them, Lord;f

let the nations know they are only humans.g

Selah
