Psalm 9:13-20 NIRV

Psalm 9:13-20

Lord, see how badly my enemies treat me!

Help me! Don’t let me go down to the gates of death!

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.

The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug.

Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does.

Evil people are trapped by what they have done.

Sinful people go down to the place of the dead.

So do all the nations that forget God.

But God will never forget needy people.

The hope of those who are hurting will never die.

Lord, rise up. Don’t let people win the battle.

Let the nations come to you and be judged.

Lord, strike them with terror.

Let the nations know they are only human beings.
