Salmo 9

¹ I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works. ² I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High. ³ When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence: ⁴ For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously. ⁵ Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. ⁶ O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. --Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished. ⁷ But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. ⁸ And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. ⁹ And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. ¹⁰ And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹ Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings. ¹² For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten. ¹³ Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death: ¹⁴ That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation. ¹⁵ The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken. ¹⁶ Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. ¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. ¹⁸ For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever. ¹⁹ Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight. ²⁰ Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
