Salmo 9

Te doy gracias, Señor, con todo mi corazón

Al maestro del coro; con instrumentos de música. Salmo de David.
Te doy gracias, Señor, con todo mi corazón,
yo proclamaré todas tus maravillas.
En ti me alegraré y me regocijaré;
alabaré, Altísimo, tu nombre.
Mis enemigos retroceden,
se debilitan, sucumben ante ti,
porque tú me has hecho justicia
sentado, juez justo, en tu trono.
Tú castigas al pagano, destruyes al malvado
borrando su nombre para siempre.
El enemigo se ha derrumbado sin remedio,
has demolido sus ciudades, anulado su recuerdo.
Pero el Señor permanecerá por siempre;
él prepara su trono para el juicio,
para juzgar al mundo con justicia,
para juzgar con rectitud a las naciones.
10 Sea el Señor refugio del oprimido,
refugio en tiempo de angustia.
11 En ti confían los que conocen tu nombre
pues tú, Señor, no abandonas a quien te busca.
12 ¡Ensalcen al Señor que mora en Sión,
canten a los pueblos sus proezas!
13 El vengador se acuerda de ellos,
no olvida el grito de los humildes.
14 ¡Ten piedad, Señor, de mí;
mira cómo mis enemigos me afligen!
Tú que me alejas de las puertas de la muerte
15 para que pueda proclamar tus alabanzas
y alegrarme en tu salvación a las puertas de Sión.
16 Los paganos se hundieron en la fosa que excavaron,
su pie quedó aprisionado en la trampa que tendieron.
17 El Señor se ha revelado, ha hecho justicia,
el malvado está atrapado en sus propias obras. [ Pausa]
18 ¡Que vuelvan al reino de los muertos los malvados,
todos los paganos que se olvidan de Dios!
19 El pobre no caerá para siempre en el olvido,
ni se desvanecerá eternamente la esperanza del humilde.
20 Ponte, Señor, en acción;
que no cante victoria el ser humano,
que los paganos sean juzgados ante ti.
21 Señor, infúndeles temor,
haz saber a los paganos que son mortales. [ Pausa]

Psalm 9[a][b]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.(B)
I will be glad and rejoice(C) in you;
    I will sing the praises(D) of your name,(E) O Most High.

My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
For you have upheld my right(F) and my cause,(G)
    sitting enthroned(H) as the righteous judge.(I)
You have rebuked the nations(J) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name(K) for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;(L)
    even the memory of them(M) has perished.

The Lord reigns forever;(N)
    he has established his throne(O) for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness(P)
    and judges the peoples with equity.(Q)
The Lord is a refuge(R) for the oppressed,(S)
    a stronghold in times of trouble.(T)
10 Those who know your name(U) trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken(V) those who seek you.(W)

11 Sing the praises(X) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(Y)
    proclaim among the nations(Z) what he has done.(AA)
12 For he who avenges blood(AB) remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(AC)

13 Lord, see how my enemies(AD) persecute me!
    Have mercy(AE) and lift me up from the gates of death,(AF)
14 that I may declare your praises(AG)
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,(AH)
    and there rejoice in your salvation.(AI)

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(AJ)
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(AK)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(AM)
    all the nations that forget God.(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope(AO) of the afflicted(AP) will never perish.

19 Arise,(AQ) Lord, do not let mortals triumph;(AR)
    let the nations be judged(AS) in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror,(AT) Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.(AU)
