Psalm 9:13-20

Psalm 9:13-20

God’s Deliverance Makes My Heart Sing

Psa 9:13  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: 

Psa 9:14  That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 

Psa 9:15  The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 

Psa 9:16  The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 

Psa 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 

Psa 9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 

Psa 9:19  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 

Psa 9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
