Psalms 9:13-16

The LORD Reigns Forever: Thanksgiving for Righteous Judgment and Refuge for the Oppressed

Thanksgiving -> vindication -> eternal righteous reign -> refuge for oppressed -> Zion proclamation -> mercy plea -> wicked reversal -> warning and hope -> nations humbled

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

13Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah
