Salmene 9,19

17 De ugudelige vil fare ned til Sheol,
Sammen med alle folkene som glemmer Gud.

18 For de fattige vil ikke alltid bli glemt,
Heller ikke de elendiges håp vil forsvinne for alltid.

Reis deg, Herre, la ikke menneskene seire;
La folkene bli dømt for ditt åsyn.

20 Innprent frykt i dem, Herre;
La folkene vite at de bare er mennesker.
Sela

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.
