Psalm 9:12 Context

◄ Psalm 9:12 ►

For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

Context

12For He who requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13Be gracious to me, O LORD;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14That I may tell of all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in Your salvation.

15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16The LORD has made Himself known;
He has executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared.

Higgaion Selah.

17The wicked will return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget God.

18For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

19Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.

20Put them in fear, O LORD;
Let the nations know that they are but men.

Selah.
