Psalm 9:15

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

The nations have sunk in the pit which they made; in the net which they hid has their own foot been caught.

See the chapter Copy

They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is caught in the toils of his sin.

Let ruin come upon them unawares! And let the net which they hid ensnare them; let them fall therein to ruin!

He who sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.

He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.

their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.

Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord, exulting in his deliverance.

And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
