Psalm 9:16-18
Good News Translation

16 The Lord has revealed himself by his righteous judgments,
    and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

17 Death is the destiny of all the wicked,
    of all those who reject God.
18 The needy will not always be neglected;
    the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever.
