Psalm 9

Vulgate

   1 Magistro chori. Ad modum cantici "Mut labben". PSALMUS. David.
   2 ALEPH. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
   3 Laetabor et exsultabo in te, psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
   4 BETH. Cum convertuntur inimici mei retrorsum, infirmantur et pereunt a facie tua.
   5 Quoniam fecisti iudicium meum et causam meam, sedisti super thronum, qui iudicas iustitiam.
   6 GHIMEL. Increpasti gentes, perdidisti impium; nomen eorum delesti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi.
   7 Inimici defecerunt, solitudines sempiternae factae sunt; et civitates destruxisti: periit memoria eorum cum ipsis.
   8 HE. Dominus autem in aeternum sedebit, paravit in iudicium thronum suum;
   9 et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in iustitia, iudicabit populos in aequitate.
   10 VAU. Et erit Dominus refugium oppresso, refugium in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
   11 Et sperent in te, qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.
   12 ZAIN. Psallite Domino, qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia eius.
   13 Quoniam requirens sanguinem recordatus est eorum, non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
   14 HETH. Miserere mei, Domine; vide afflictionem meam de inimicis meis, qui exaltas me de portis mortis,
   15 ut annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion, exsultem in salutari tuo.
   16 TETH. Infixae sunt gentes in fovea, quam fecerunt; in laqueo isto, quem absconderunt, comprehensus est pes eorum.
   17 Manifestavit se Dominus iudicium faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
   18 IOD. Convertentur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes, quae obliviscuntur Deum.
   19 CAPH. Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis; exspectatio pauperum non peribit in aeternum.
   20 Exsurge, Domine, non confortetur homo; iudicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.
   21 Constitue, Domine, terrorem super eos; sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.

King James Version

To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, A Psalm of David.

   1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
   2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
   3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
   4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
   5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
   6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
   7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
   8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
   9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
   10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
   11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
   12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
   13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
   14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
   15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
   16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
   17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
   18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
   19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
   20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
