Psalms 9:16 in Context — Psalms 9

14 Porque cuente yo todas tus alabanzas en las puertas de la hija de Sión, [y] me goce en tu salud.

15 Hundiéronse las gentes en la fosa que hicieron; en la red que escondieron fué tomado su pie.

16 Jehová fué conocido [en] el juicio que hizo; en la obra de sus manos fué enlazado el malo. (Higaion. Selah.)

17 Los malos serán trasladados al infierno, todas las gentes que se olvidan de Dios.

18 Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
