Psalms 9:19

17 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.

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

20 Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

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.
