Psalms 9:17-20

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

17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.

18For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

19Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

20Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
