The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.
16 He has made himself known - Yahweh justice he has done by [the] work of hands his [he is] striking down [the] wicked Higgaion (Selah)
The Lord is revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. (Selah)
17 They will return wicked [people] to Sheol all [the] nations forgetful of God. (Sheol )

For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.
19 Arise! O Yahweh may not it prevail humankind let them be judged [the] nations on presence your.

Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. (Selah)
