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.

19 Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
