Psalm 9
New International Version
Psalm 9[a][b]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.
1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.(B)
2 I will be glad and rejoice(C) in you;
I will sing the praises(D) of your name,(E) O Most High.
3 My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right(F) and my cause,(G)
sitting enthroned(H) as the righteous judge.(I)
5 You have rebuked the nations(J) and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name(K) for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
you have uprooted their cities;(L)
even the memory of them(M) has perished.
7 The Lord reigns forever;(N)
he has established his throne(O) for judgment.
8 He rules the world in righteousness(P)
and judges the peoples with equity.(Q)
9 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.

Psalm 9
New King James Version
Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments
To the Chief Musician. To the tune of [a]“Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and (A)rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, (B)O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5 You have rebuked the [b]nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have (C)blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has (D)perished.
7 (E)But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 (F)He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
9 The Lord also will be a (G)refuge[c] for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who (H)know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
(I)Declare His deeds among the people.
12 (J)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the [d]humble.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of [e]the daughter of Zion.
I will (K)rejoice in Your salvation.
15 (L)The [f]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is (M)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
(N)Meditation.[g] Selah
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the [h]nations (O)that forget God.
18 (P)For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
(Q)The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the [i]nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the [j]nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

Salmo 9
Salmo de acción de gracias por la justicia de Dios
Para el director del coro; sobre Mut Laben[a]. Salmo de David.
9 Daré gracias al Señor con todo mi corazón(A);
Todas Tus maravillas contaré(B).
2 En Ti me alegraré y me regocijaré(C);
Cantaré alabanzas a Tu nombre(D), oh Altísimo(E).
3 ¶Cuando mis enemigos retroceden,
Tropiezan y perecen delante de Ti(F).
4 Porque Tú has mantenido mi derecho y mi causa(G);
Te sientas en el trono juzgando con justicia(H).
5 Has reprendido a las naciones(I), has destruido al impío,
Has borrado su nombre para siempre(J).
6 El enemigo ha llegado a su fin en desolación eterna,
Y Tú has destruido sus ciudades;
Su recuerdo ha perecido con ellas(K).
7 ¶Pero el Señor permanece para siempre(L);
Ha establecido Su trono para juicio(M),
8 Y juzgará al mundo con justicia;
Con equidad ejecutará juicio sobre los pueblos(N).
9 El Señor será también baluarte para el oprimido,
Baluarte en tiempos de angustia(O).
10 En Ti pondrán su confianza los que conocen Tu nombre(P),
Porque Tú, oh Señor, no abandonas a los que te buscan(Q).
11 ¶Canten alabanzas al Señor, que mora en Sión(R);
Proclamen entre los pueblos Sus proezas(S).
12 Porque el que pide cuentas de la sangre(T) derramada, se acuerda de ellos;
No olvida el clamor de los afligidos(U).
13 Oh Señor, ten piedad de mí;
Mira mi aflicción por causa de los que me aborrecen(V),
Tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte(W);
14 Para que yo cuente todas Tus alabanzas(X),
Para que en las puertas de la hija de Sión
Me regocije en Tu salvación(Y).
15 Las naciones se han hundido en el foso que hicieron(Z);
En la red que escondieron, su propio pie quedó prendido(AA).
16 El Señor se ha dado a conocer(AB);
Ha ejecutado juicio(AC).
El impío es atrapado en la obra de sus propias manos. (Higaion, Selah)
17 ¶Los impíos volverán al Seol(AD),
O sea, todas las naciones que se olvidan de Dios(AE).
18 Pues el necesitado no será olvidado para siempre(AF),
Ni la esperanza de los afligidos perecerá eternamente(AG).
19 Levántate, oh Señor(AH); no prevalezca el hombre;
Sean juzgadas las naciones delante de Ti(AI).
20 Pon temor en ellas(AJ), oh Señor;
Aprendan las naciones que no son más que hombres(AK). (Selah)
