When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 9 of Psalms. Psalm 9 combines praise for divine interventions with a request that God continue judging the nations and defending the oppressed. The memory of past works sustains present trust: the God who previously judged remains a refuge for those who suffer. The structure contrasts the permanence of the Lord with the apparent prosperity of violent peoples and culminates in a request that the nations recognize their human condition before the true Judge.

Lobet den HERRN, der zu Zion wohnt; verkündiget unter den Völkern sein Tun!
Porque demandando la sangre se acordó de ellos: No se olvidó del clamor de los pobres.
Porque el que pide cuentas de la sangre derramada se acuerda de ellos; no olvida el clamor de los afligidos.
Car il venge le sang et se souvient des malheureux, Il n'oublie pas leurs cris.
Perciocchè egli ridomanda ragione del sangue, egli se ne ricorda; Egli non dimentica il grido de’ poveri afflitti.
Pois quando inquire do derramamento de sangue, lembra-se deles: não se esquece do clamor dos aflitos.
那位追討流人血的, 他記念受屈的人, 不忘記困苦人的哀求。
