Psalm 9:15-18 NWT
15 The nations have sunk down into the pit that they have made; In the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16 Jehovah is known by the judgment that he has executed. By the activity of his own hands the wicked one has been ensnared. Higgaion. Selah. ? [Yohdh] 17 Wicked people will turn back to Sheol, Even all the nations forgetting God. 18 For not always will the poor one be forgotten, Nor will the hope of the meek ones ever perish.

Psalms 9:15-18 ASV
(15) The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. (16) Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (17) The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. (18) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

Psalms 9:15-18 YLT
(15) Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured. (16) Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah. (17) The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (18) For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
