13  ^yBe gracious to me, O Lord!

See my affliction from those who hate me,

O you who lift me up from ^zthe gates of death,

14  that I may recount all your praises,

that in the gates of ^athe daughter of Zion

I may ^brejoice in your salvation.

15  The nations have sunk in ^cthe pit that they made;

in ^dthe net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16  The Lord has made himself ^eknown; he has executed judgment;

the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.¹ Selah

17  The wicked shall ^freturn to Sheol,

all the nations that ^gforget God.

18  For the needy shall not always be forgotten,

and ^hthe hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

19  ⁱArise, O Lord! Let not ^jman prevail;

let the nations be judged before you!

20  Put them in fear, O Lord!

Let the nations know that they are but ^jmen! Selah
