Psalm 9:13 — he did not forget the petition of the poor; the petition is lamentations and dirges

“He did not forget the petition of the poor” (Psalm 9:12).

What sort was it? The one that came about through lamentations and dirges, having a kind of request concerning the terrible things that hold them.

Greek

9.13 Οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς δεήσεως τῶν πενήτων. Τοιαύτη τίς η ν; ̔Η διὰ τῶν ὀλοφύρσεων καὶ τῶν θρήνων γενομένη, οι όν τινα αι τησιν ε χουσα περὶ τῶν κατεχόντων δεινῶν.
