Psalms 9:13
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
12 For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15 The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
