¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who sits as King in Zion.^[a]
    Tell the nations about the great things he has done.
¹² He punishes murderers
    and remembers those who are in need.
When suffering people cry for help,
    he does not ignore them.

¹³ I said this prayer: “Lord, be kind to me.
    See how my enemies are hurting me.
    Save me from the ‘gates of death.’
