Verse 13 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.

Denn er gedenkt und fragt nach ihrem Blut; er vergißt nicht des Schreiens der Armen.
Ten misericordia de mí, Jehová: Mira mi aflicción que padezco de los que me aborrecen, Tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte;
Ten piedad de mí, Jehová; mira mi aflicción por causa de los que me odian, tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte,
Aie pitié de moi, Eternel! Vois la misère où me réduisent mes ennemis, Enlève-moi des portes de la mort,
Abbi pietà di me, o Signore, Tu che mi tiri in alto dalle porte della morte, Vedi l’afflizione che io soffero da quelli che m’odiano;
Tem misericórdia de mim, SENHOR, olha para a minha aflição, causada por aqueles que me odeiam; tu que me levantas das portas da morte;
耶和華啊,求你憐憫我! 你是從死門把我提升起來的, 求你看那恨我的人所加給我的苦難,
