Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD 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.
Lætabor et exsultabo 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 judicium meum et causam meam; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.
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 delesti in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
Inimici defecerunt frameæ in finem, et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu;
7 But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
et Dominus in æternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
et ipse judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate: judicabit populos in justitia.
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quærentes te, Domine.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
Psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia ejus:
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est; non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
13 Have mercy on me, LORD. 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 annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiæ 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. Infixæ sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt; in laqueo isto quem absconderunt comprehensus est pes eorum.
16 The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
Cognoscetur Dominus judicia faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
Convertantur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes quæ 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, LORD! Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
Exsurge, Domine; non confortetur homo: judicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.
20 Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
Constitue, Domine, legislatorem super eos, ut sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.
