THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Psalms 9:18 in context

Psalms 9:15–20

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made.

In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

The LORD has made himself known.

He has executed judgment.

The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,

even all the nations that forget God.

Selected verse

For the needy shall not always be forgotten,

nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail.

Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, LORD.

Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
