11. Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion!Tell the nations what he has done!
12. For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed;he did not overlook their cry for help
13. when they prayed:“Have mercy on me, Lord!See how I am oppressed by those who hate me,O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!
14. Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”
15. The nations fell into the pit they had made;their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
16. The Lord revealed himself;he accomplished justice;the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
17. The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol;this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
18. for the needy are not permanently ignored,the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
