13 Lord, see how badly my enemies treat me! Show me your favor. Don't let me go down to the gates of death.
14 Then I can give praise to you at the gates of the city of Zion. There I will be full of joy because you have saved me.
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The Lord is known to be fair. Evil people are trapped by what they have done. Higgaion. Selah
17 Sinful people go down to the grave. So do all the nations that forget God.
18 But those who are in need will always be remembered. The hope of those who are hurting will never die.
19 Lord, rise up. Don't let people win the battle. Let the nations come to you and be judged.
