Salmos 9

1 Quiero alabarte, Señor, con todo el *corazón,
y contar todas tus maravillas.
2 Quiero alegrarme y regocijarme en ti,
y cantar salmos a tu *nombre, oh *Altísimo.
3 Mis enemigos retroceden;
tropiezan y perecen ante ti.
4 Porque tú me has hecho *justicia, me has vindicado;
tú, juez justo, ocupas tu trono.
5 Reprendiste a los *paganos, destruiste a los malvados;
¡para siempre borraste su memoria!
6 Desgracia sin fin cayó sobre el enemigo;
arrancaste de raíz sus ciudades, y hasta su recuerdo se ha desvanecido.
7 Pero el Señor reina por siempre;
para emitir juicio ha establecido su trono.
8 Juzgará al mundo con justicia;
gobernará a los pueblos con equidad.
9 El Señor es refugio de los oprimidos;
es su baluarte en momentos de angustia.
10 En ti confían los que conocen tu nombre,
porque tú, Señor, jamás abandonas a los que te buscan.
11 Canten salmos al Señor, el rey de *Sión;
proclamen sus proezas entre las naciones.
12 El vengador de los inocentess se acuerda de ellos;
no pasa por alto el clamor de los afligidos.
13 Ten compasión de mí, Señor;
mira cómo me afligen los que me odian. Sácame de las puertas de la muerte,
14 para que en las *puertas de Jerusaléns
proclame tus alabanzas y me regocije en tu *salvación.
15 Han caído los paganos
en la fosa que han cavado; sus pies quedaron atrapados en la red que ellos mismos escondieron.
16 Al Señor se le conoce porque imparte justicia;
el malvado cae en la trampa que él mismo tendió. *Higaión. *Selah
17 Bajan al *sepulcro los malvados,
todos los paganos que de Dios se olvidan.
18 Pero no se olvidará para siempre al necesitado,
ni para siempre se perderá la esperanza del pobre.
19 ¡Levántate, Señor!
No dejes que el *hombre prevalezca; ¡haz que las naciones comparezcan ante ti!
20 Infúndeles terror, Señor;
¡que los pueblos sepan que son simples *mortales! Selah

Psalm 9

For the music director; according to the alumoth-labben style; a psalm of David.

1 I will thank the Lord with all my heart!
I will tell about all your amazing deeds!

2 I will be happy and rejoice in you!
I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!

3 When my enemies turn back,
they trip and are defeated before you.

4 For you defended my just cause;
from your throne you pronounced a just decision.

5 You terrified the nations with your battle cry;
you destroyed the wicked;
you permanently wiped out all memory of them.

6 The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins;
you destroyed their cities;
all memory of the enemies has perished.

7 But the Lord rules forever;
he reigns in a just manner.

8 He judges the world fairly;
he makes just legal decisions for the nations.

9 Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;
he provides safety in times of trouble.

10 Your loyal followers trust in you,
for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion!
Tell the nations what he has done!

12 For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed;
he did not overlook their cry for help

13 when they prayed:
“Have mercy on me,Lord!
See how I am oppressed by those who hate me,
O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

14 Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;
in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

15 The nations fell into the pit they had made;
their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.

16 The Lord revealed himself;
he accomplished justice;
the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)

17 The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol;
this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

18 for the needy are not permanently ignored,
the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.

19 Rise up, Lord!
Don’t let men be defiant!
May the nations be judged in your presence!

20 Terrify them, Lord!
Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)
