Psalms 9:17

Judgment

15 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

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

18 For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

19 Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

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.
