Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

Verse 19 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 wird des Armen nicht so ganz vergessen, und die Hoffnung der Elenden wird nicht verloren sein ewiglich.
Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; Sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
¡Levántate, Jehová! ¡Que no prevalezca el mortal! ¡Que las naciones sean juzgadas ante ti!
Lève-toi, ô Eternel! Que l'homme ne triomphe pas! Que les nations soient jugées devant ta face!
Levati, o Signore; non lasciar che l’uomo si rinforzi; Sieno giudicate le genti davanti alla tua faccia.
Levanta-te, SENHOR; não prevaleça o homem; sejam julgados os gentios diante da tua face.
耶和華啊,求你興起,不容世人得勝! 願外邦人在你面前受審判!
