PSALMS 9:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 9:15Ps 9:17
The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
The reflection that the Lord makes Himself known and executes judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands establishes the connection between God's self-revelation and divine judgment. The mention of making Himself known suggests that God's character becomes evident through how God judges the wicked, making judgment a form of divine self-disclosure. The snaring of the wicked through their own deeds reinforces the pattern of retributive justice emerging from the evildoers' actions. This verse completes the movement from particular deliverance to universal principle, suggesting that God's judgment operates according to consistent cosmic principle.
