Salmos 9
1 Te alabaré, oh Señor, con todo mi corazón; contaré todas las maravillas de tus obras.
Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
2 Me alegraré y deleitaré; haré una canción de alabanza a tu nombre, oh Altísimo.
I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
3 Cuando mis enemigos se vuelvan atrás, cayeron y murieron delante de ti.
When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
4 Porque diste aprobación a mi derecho y a mi causa; estás sentado en tu trono juzgando con justicia.
You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
5 ¡Tú has reprendido a las naciones, has enviado destrucción a los pecadores, has puesto fin a su nombre para siempre!
You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
6 Los impíos han muerto; Has entregado sus ciudades a la destrucción; el recuerdo de ellas pereció con ellos.
Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
7 Pero el Señor es Rey para siempre; él ha preparado su trono para el juicio.
But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
8 Y él será el juez del mundo en justicia, dando sentencia justa a los pueblos.
and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
9 El Señor será una torre alta para los oprimidos, un refugio en tiempos de angustia;
Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
10 Y los que tienen conocimiento de tu nombre pondrán su fe en ti; porque tú, Señor, no desamparas a aquellos que te buscan.
Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
11 Canten canciones de alabanza al Señor, que habita en Sión; anuncien entre los pueblos sus obras.
Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
12 Porque él que demanda la sangre se acordó de ellos, los tiene en su memoria: se acuerda de los afligidos y no olvida el clamor de los afligidos.
He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
13 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová, y mira cómo me turbaron mis enemigos; sácame de las puertas de la muerte;
Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
14 Para que yo cuente todas tus alabanzas en la casa de la hija de Sion; me alegraré por tu salvación.
I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
15 Las naciones descendieron al hoyo que hicieron; en su red secreta quedan atrapados sus pies.
[It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
16 El Señor se dio a conocer por medio de su juicio; el malvado queda preso en la red que sus manos habían hecho. (Higaion, Selah)
Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
17 Los pecadores y todas las naciones que no tienen memoria de Dios serán trasladados al reino de la muerte. (Sheol h7585)
Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
18 Porque los pobres no serán olvidados; las esperanzas de los necesitados no perecerán para siempre.
But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
19 ¡Levántate! Oh Señor; no consientas la altanería del hombre; sean juzgadas las naciones delante de ti.
Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
20 ¡Hazles temer, oh Señor, para que las naciones vean que son solo hombres! (Selah)
Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
