Psalm 9:17-20
Today we are reading Psalm 9.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 9:17-20 - The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget God. 18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. 19 Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before You. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
