Psalmorum 9
1 Psalmus David, in finem pro occultis filii. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.
2 Laetabor et exultabo in te: psallam nomini tuo Altissime,
I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum: infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
When mine enemies turn back, they stumble 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 satest in the throne judging righteously.
5 Increpasti Gentes, et periit impius: nomen eorum delesti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Inimici defecerunt frameae in finem: et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu:
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; and the cities which thou hast overthrown, their very memorial is perished.
7 et Dominus in aeternum permanet. Paravit in iudicio thronum suum:
But the LORD sitteth [as king] for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, iudicabit populos in iustitia.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi: adiutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
10 Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum: quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te Domine.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Psallite Domino, qui habitat in Sion: annunciate inter Gentes studia eius:
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 Quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est: non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13 Miserere mei Domine: vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 Qui exaltas me de portis mortis, ut annunciem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion.
That I may shew forth all thy praise: in the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 Exultabo in salutari tuo: infixae sunt Gentes in interitu, quem fecerunt. In laqueo isto, quem absconderunt, comprehensus est pes eorum.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Cognoscetur Dominus iudicia faciens: in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
The LORD hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higaion, Selah)
The wicked shall return to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis: patientia pauperum non peribit in finem.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 Exurge Domine, non confortetur homo: iudicentur Gentes in conspectu tuo:
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 Constitue Domine legislatorem super eos: ut sciant Gentes quoniam homines sunt.
Put them in fear, O LORD: let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
