Psalm 9:18-20

Amplified Bible

¹⁸
For the poor will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever.
¹⁹
Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
²⁰
Put them in [reverent] ^[a]fear of You, O Lord,
So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah.
