16 The Lord has made himself (A)known; he has executed judgment;
    the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.[a] Selah

17 The wicked shall (B)return to Sheol,
    all the nations that (C)forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
    and (D)the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
