Psalm 9:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ Death is the destiny of all the wicked,
    of all those who reject God.
¹⁸ The needy will not always be neglected;
    the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever.

¹⁹ Come, Lord! Do not let anyone defy you!
    Bring the heathen before you
    and pronounce judgment on them.
