Psalms 9:18

for the needy are not permanently ignored, ¹  the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed. ² 

But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

For the needy will not be forgotten forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

No longer will the poor be nameless--no more humiliation for the humble.

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

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

for the needy are not permanently ignored, ¹  the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed. ² 

¹ tn Or “forgotten.”

² tn Heb “the hope of the afflicted does [not] perish forever.” The negative particle is understood by ellipsis; note the preceding line. The imperfect verbal forms express what typically happens.
