Psalms 9:15

Judgment

13 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.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16 The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

17 The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
