¹² Because the one who avenges bloodshed
    remembers those who suffer;
    the Lord hasn’t forgotten their cries for help.

¹³ Have mercy on me, Lord!
    Just look how I suffer
    because of those who hate me.
But you are the one who brings me back
    from the very gates of death
¹⁴         so I can declare all your praises,
        so I can rejoice in your salvation
        in the gates of Daughter Zion.
