16 The Eternal is well known, for He has taken action and secured justice;
    He has trapped the wicked through the work of their own hands.

[pause with music][a]

17 The wicked are headed for death and the grave;
    all the nations who forget the True God will share a similar fate.

18 For those in need shall not always be forgotten,
    and the hope of the poor will never die.
