< Psalmorum 9 >
1 Psalmus David, in finem pro occultis filii. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
2 Laetabor et exultabo in te: psallam nomini tuo Altissime,
I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
3 In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum: infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
4 Quoniam fecisti iudicium meum et causam meam: sedisti super thronum qui iudicas iustitiam.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
5 Increpasti Gentes, et periit impius: nomen eorum delesti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
6 Inimici defecerunt frameae in finem: et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu:
O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
7 et Dominus in aeternum permanet. Paravit in iudicio thronum suum:
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, iudicabit populos in iustitia.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi: adiutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10 Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum: quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te Domine.
And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
11 Psallite Domino, qui habitat in Sion: annunciate inter Gentes studia eius:
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 Quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est: non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13 Miserere mei Domine: vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis.
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
14 Qui exaltas me de portis mortis, ut annunciem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion.
That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
15 Exultabo in salutari tuo: infixae sunt Gentes in interitu, quem fecerunt. In laqueo isto, quem absconderunt, comprehensus est pes eorum.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
16 Cognoscetur Dominus iudicia faciens: in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Convertantur peccatores in infernum, omnes Gentes quae obliviscuntur Deum. (Sheol )

18 Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis: patientia pauperum non peribit in finem.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Exurge Domine, non confortetur homo: iudicentur Gentes in conspectu tuo:
Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
20 Constitue Domine legislatorem super eos: ut sciant Gentes quoniam homines sunt.
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
