Psalms 9:13–16
The Lord lifts His people from death to praise, while the wicked are caught in the traps of their own making.
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.
The Lord lifts His people from death to praise, while the wicked are caught in the traps of their own making.
To petition for divine mercy during persecution and to celebrate the public proclamation of God’s justice through the self-destructive end of the wicked.
