For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Verse 18 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.

Ach daß die Gottlosen müßten zur Hölle gekehrt werden, alle Heiden, die Gottes vergessen!
Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; Ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
Porque el necesitado no será olvidado para siempre ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá eternamente.
Car le malheureux n'est point oublié à jamais, L'espérance des misérables ne périt pas à toujours.
Perciocchè il povero non sarà dimenticato in sempiterno; La speranza de’ poveri non perirà in perpetuo.
Porque o necessitado não será esquecido para sempre, nem a expectação dos pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
貧窮人必不永久被忘, 困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。
