13 Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!

Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14 that I may declare your praises

in the gates of Daughter Zion,

and there rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;

their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;

the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord;

Consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise

In the gates of the daughter of Zion:

I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made:

In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth:

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

Higgaion. Selah.

13 Lord, have mercy on me.

See how my enemies torment me.

Snatch me back from the jaws of death.

14 Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates,

so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others.

Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.

16 The Lord is known for his justice.

The wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

Quiet Interlude

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!

Consider my trouble from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14 That I may tell of all Your praise

In the gates of the daughter of Zion.

I will rejoice in Your salvation.

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

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

16 The Lord is known by the judgment He executes;

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

Meditation.

13 Lord, have mercy on me.

See how my enemies hurt me.

Do not let me go through the gates of death.

14 Then, at the gates of Jerusalem, I will praise you;

I will rejoice because you saved me.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug.

Their feet are caught in the nets they laid.

16 The Lord has made himself known by his fair decisions;

the wicked get trapped by what they do.

Higgaion. Selah.

13 Have pity on me, O Lord. 

Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me. 

You take me away from the gates of death 

14 so that I may recite your praises one by one 

in the gates of Zion 

and find joy in your salvation. 

15 The nations have sunk into the pit they have made. 

Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⸤to trap others⸥. 

16 The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out. 

The wicked person is trapped 

by the work of his own hands.

13 Lord, see how badly my enemies treat me!

Show me your favor. Don’t let me go down to the gates of death.

14 Then I can give praise to you

at the gates of the city of Zion.

There I will be full of joy

because you have saved me.
