12 For the one who seeks an accounting

for bloodshed remembers them;z

he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.aa

13 Be gracious to me, Lord;

consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.ab

Lift me up from the gates of death,ac

14 so that I may declare all your praises.

I will rejoice in your salvationad

within the gates of Daughter Zion.
