Psalm 9:11-20
New International Version
11 Sing the praises(A) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(B)
proclaim among the nations(C) what he has done.(D)
12 For he who avenges blood(E) remembers;
he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(F)
13 Lord, see how my enemies(G) persecute me!
Have mercy(H) and lift me up from the gates of death,(I)
14 that I may declare your praises(J)
in the gates of Daughter Zion,(K)
and there rejoice in your salvation.(L)
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(M)
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(N)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[a](O)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(P)
all the nations that forget God.(Q)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
the hope(R) of the afflicted(S) will never perish.

King James Version
Psalm 9:11-20
King James Version
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
