Psalm 9:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does.
    Evil people are trapped by what they have done.
¹⁷ Sinful people go down to the place of the dead.
    So do all the nations that forget God.
¹⁸ But God will never forget needy people.
    The hope of those who are hurting will never die.
