13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

13 LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.

16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

18 But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

19 Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.

20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah

20 Strike them with terror, LORD; let the nations know they are only mortal.
