13 Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation. that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

18 For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
19 Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
