Psalms 9:12 - Compare All Versions

Sing your songs to Zion-dwelling GOD, tell his stories to everyone you meet: How he tracks down killers yet keeps his eye on us, registers every whimper and moan.

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

For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

He remembers who the murderers are; he will not forget the cries of those who suffer.

For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.

For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people); He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.

For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.

He tracks down killers and avenges bloodshed, but he will never forget the ones forgotten by others, hearing every one of their cries for justice.

For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
