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. 

Higgaion Selah 

17  Wicked people, all the nations who forget God, 

will return to the grave. 

18  Needy people will not always be forgotten. 

Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever. 

19  Arise, O Lord. 

Do not let mortals gain any power. 

Let the nations be judged in your presence. 

20  Strike them with terror, O Lord. 

Let the nations know that they are ⸤only⸥ mortal. 

Selah
