Psalms 9:13

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

The verse is a humble plea for mercy from one suffering trouble and distress inflicted by those who hate him. It trusts God as the One who lifts the sufferer up from the gates and threat of death. That deliverance is sought so that it will lead to praising Him and rejoicing in His salvation. The plea rests on the hope of God's righteous judgment and His care for the oppressed.
