15 ^aThe¹ nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. ‡

16 The Lord is ^aknown by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. ^bMeditation.¹ Selah ‡

18 ^aFor the needy shall not always be forgotten;
^bThe expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. ‡

19 Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the¹ nations be judged in Your sight. ‡
