Psalms 9 — Context

The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.

The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.

Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.

Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah.)
