17 The wicked shall be turned back, ‖ even down into the pit: ‖ And all the Nations shall be so ‖ that do forget a God. ‖
18 For that the needy one shall not ‖ for ever be forgot: ‖ And the hope of the humbled poor ‖ shall not for ever fail. ‖
19 Rise, O ETERNAL God; let not ‖ a wretched man prevail: ‖ The Nations shall have Judgment done ‖ on, them before thy face. ‖
20 O thou ETERNAL God, strike thou ‖ a terror into them: ‖ And let the Nations understand ‖ they are but sorry men. ‖ Selah. ‖
