BrLXX Ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς δεήσεως τῶν πενήτων.
(Hoti ekzaʸtōn ta haimata autōn emnaʸsthaʸ, ouk epelatheto taʸs deaʸseōs tōn penaʸtōn. )
9:13-14 The psalmist returns from a vision of the glorious future to the reality of facing his enemies (9:3).
• The jaws (literally gates) are a vivid image of the powerful grip of death (see 13:3-4).
• Jerusalem’s gates provide an intentional contrast to the “gates” of death.
Praise Psalms
The Hebrew title of the book of Psalms means “Praises,” and that title accurately defines a large number of the psalms. God is praised throughout the psalms for his nature and for his great acts in creation and history. Praise psalms were written for individual use and for the community.
Individual praise (Pss 9; 18; 32; 34; 116; 138). It was customary in Temple worship for people to give verbal thanks in front of the whole assembly whenever they made a vow offering or a thank offering (see, e.g., 22:22-26; 66:13-20; 116:17-19). Such opportunities for personal praise and testimony must have added warmth and significance to worship. Each act of rescue and every experience of God’s mercy became part of the cumulative, ongoing story of salvation. Worship was not simply a recital of God’s deeds in earlier centuries.
Communal praise (Pss 103, 113, 124, 129, 136). When the community gathered, they praised the Lord in song for his acts in history (Ps 103) or for a specific recent manifestation of his mercy (Pss 124, 129). In Psalm 103, the psalmist praises God for his mercy to each individual (103:1-5) and to the whole community (103:6-14). The frailty of humanity contrasts with God’s constancy (103:15-18); his universal and absolute rule merits universal praise (103:19-22).

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of mercy, affliction and haters, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “Be merciful to me … how I am afflicted by those who hate me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
רְאֵ֣ה
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when avenges blood DOM,them male not forget cry afflicted )
The implication is that Yahweh will act, not just see. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Take action because of”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מְ֝רוֹמְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when avenges blood DOM,them male not forget cry afflicted )
Here, death is spoken of as if it were a city that had gates through which people enter it. If someone is near the gates of death, it means that he will die soon. Keeping someone from dying is spoken of as lifting him away from the gates of that city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “O you who can rescue me from death” or “O you who can keep me from dying”
