Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «La muerte del hijo». Salmo de David.

Álef

Quiero alabarte, Señor, con todo el corazón,
    y contar todas tus maravillas.
Quiero alegrarme y regocijarme en ti,
    y cantar salmos a tu nombre, oh Altísimo.

Bet

Mis enemigos retroceden;
    tropiezan y perecen ante ti.
Porque tú me has hecho justicia, me has vindicado;
    tú, juez justo, ocupas tu trono.

Guímel

Reprendiste a los paganos, destruiste a los malvados;
    ¡para siempre borraste su memoria!
Desgracia sin fin cayó sobre el enemigo;
    arrancaste de raíz sus ciudades,
    y hasta su recuerdo se ha desvanecido.

He

Pero el Señor reina por siempre;
    para emitir juicio ha establecido su trono.
Juzgará al mundo con justicia;
    gobernará a los pueblos con equidad.

Vav

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.

Zayin

11 Cantad salmos al Señor, el rey de Sión;
    proclamad sus proezas entre las naciones.
12 El vengador de los inocentes[a] se acuerda de ellos;
    no pasa por alto el clamor de los afligidos.

Jet

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 Jerusalén[b]
    proclame tus alabanzas y me regocije en tu salvación.

Tet

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

Yod

17 Bajan al sepulcro los malvados,
    todos los paganos que de Dios se olvidan.

Caf

18 Pero el necesitado no será olvidado para siempre,
    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

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.

I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and (A)rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, (B)O Most High.

When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
You have rebuked the [b]nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have (C)blotted out their name forever and ever.

O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has (D)perished.
(E)But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
(F)He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

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

I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds

[a] To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.[b] A Psalm of David.

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

When my enemies turn back,
    they stumble and perish before[c] your presence.
For you have (E)maintained my just cause;
    you have (F)sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

You have (G)rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
    you have (H)blotted out their name forever and ever.
The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.

But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
    he has established his throne for justice,
and he (I)judges the world with righteousness;
    he (J)judges the peoples with uprightness.

The Lord is (K)a stronghold for (L)the oppressed,
    a stronghold in (M)times of trouble.
10 And those who (N)know your name put their trust in you,
    for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who (O)sits enthroned in Zion!
    Tell among the peoples his (P)deeds!
12 For he who (Q)avenges blood is mindful of them;
    he (R)does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13 (S)Be gracious to me, O Lord!
    See my affliction from those who hate me,
    O you who lift me up from (T)the gates of death,
14 that I may recount all your praises,
    that in the gates of (U)the daughter of Zion
    I may (V)rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have sunk in (W)the pit that they made;
    in (X)the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16 The Lord has made himself (Y)known; he has executed judgment;
    the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.[d] Selah

17 The wicked shall (Z)return to Sheol,
    all the nations that (AA)forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
    and (AB)the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 (AC)Arise, O Lord! Let not (AD)man prevail;
    let the nations be judged before you!
20 Put them in fear, O Lord!
    Let the nations know that they are but (AE)men! Selah
