Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
in finem pro occultis filii psalmus David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo narrabo omnia mirabilia tua
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
laetabor et exultabo in te psallam nomini tuo Altissime
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
in convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum infirmabuntur et peribunt a facie tua
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
quoniam fecisti iudicium meum et causam meam sedisti super thronum qui iudicas iustitiam
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
increpasti gentes et periit impius nomen eorum delisti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
inimici defecerunt frameae in finem et civitates destruxisti periit memoria eorum cum sonitu
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
et Dominus in aeternum permanet paravit in iudicio thronum suum
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate iudicabit populos in iustitia
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi adiutor in oportunitatibus in tribulatione
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te Domine
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion adnuntiate inter gentes studia eius
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est non est oblitus clamorem pauperum
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
miserere mei Domine vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
qui exaltas me de portis mortis ut adnuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
exultabo in salutari tuo infixae sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt in laqueo isto quem absconderunt conprehensus est pes eorum
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
cognoscitur Dominus iudicia faciens in operibus manuum suarum conprehensus est peccator canticum diapsalmatis
convertantur peccatores in infernum omnes gentes quae obliviscuntur Deum (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis patientia pauperum non peribit in finem
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
exsurge Domine non confortetur homo iudicentur gentes in conspectu tuo
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
constitue Domine legislatorem super eos sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt diapsalma
