13. Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14. that I may declare your praisesin the gates of Daughter Zion,and there rejoice in your salvation.
15. The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16. The Lord is known by his acts of justice;the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,all the nations that forget God.
