Psalmorum 9
1 in finem pro occultis filii psalmus David confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo narrabo omnia mirabilia tua
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
2 laetabor et exultabo in te psallam nomini tuo Altissime
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3 in convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum infirmabuntur et peribunt a facie tua
When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
4 quoniam fecisti iudicium meum et causam meam sedisti super thronum qui iudicas iustitiam
For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
5 increpasti gentes et periit impius nomen eorum delisti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
6 inimici defecerunt frameae in finem et civitates destruxisti periit memoria eorum cum sonitu
The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
7 et Dominus in aeternum permanet paravit in iudicio thronum suum
But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
8 et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate iudicabit populos in iustitia
He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
9 et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi adiutor in oportunitatibus in tribulatione
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te Domine
Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion adnuntiate inter gentes studia eius
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
12 quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est non est oblitus clamorem pauperum
For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13 miserere mei Domine vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis
Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
14 qui exaltas me de portis mortis ut adnuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion
that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15 exultabo in salutari tuo infixae sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt in laqueo isto quem absconderunt conprehensus est pes eorum
The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 cognoscitur Dominus iudicia faciens in operibus manuum suarum conprehensus est peccator canticum diapsalmatis
The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis patientia pauperum non peribit in finem
For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
19 exsurge Domine non confortetur homo iudicentur gentes in conspectu tuo
Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
20 constitue Domine legislatorem super eos sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt diapsalma
Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men.
