Psalms 9:13

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
^aDeclare His deeds among the people.

12 ^aWhen He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the¹ humble.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of¹ the daughter of Zion.
I will ^arejoice in Your salvation.

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

Psalms 9:13

Have mercy upon me, O Lord - David, having laid down the preceding maxims, now claims his part in their truth. I also am in trouble through the unjust dealings of my enemies; I am brought to the gates of death; have mercy on me, and lift me up, that, being saved from the gates of death, I may show forth thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. The gates of death - an open grave, leading to a yawning hell. The gates of the daughter of Zion - all the ordinances of God, by which the soul is helped forward to heaven.
