Psalm 9:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶The Lord has made himself known,
executing judgment.
The wicked are ensnared
by what their hands have made.
Interlude^[a]

¹⁷The wicked will turn back to where the dead are^[b]—
all the nations that have forgotten God.
¹⁸For he will not always overlook the plight of the poor,
nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
