14 So that I may rehearse Your deeds, declare Your praise,
    and rejoice in Your rescue
    when I take my stand in the gates of Zion.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others,
    their own feet caught, snared by the net they hid.
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.
