15The heathen are sunke downe in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid, is their own foot taken. 16The Lord is knowen by the iudgement which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18For the needie shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poore shall not perish for euer. 19Arise, O Lord, let not man preuaile: let the heathen bee iudged in thy sight.
