Psalms 9

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster On oboe and harp Psalm Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with my whole heart, Irecount al your wonders,	1 In finem, pro occultis filii. Psalmus David.
2 I rejoice and delight in you, I sing to your name, Most High.	2 Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo ; narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
3 My enemies are in retreat, they stumble and perish at your presence,	3 Lætabor et exsultabo in te ; psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
4 for you have given fair judgement in my favour, seated on your throne as upright judge.	4 In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum ; infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
5 You have rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked, blotted out their name for ever and ever;	5 Quoniam fecisti judicium meum et causam meam ; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.
6 the enemy is wiped out -- mere ruins for ever -- you have annihilated their cities, their memory hasperished. See,	6 Increpasti gentes, et periit impius : nomen eorum delesti in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.
7 Yahweh is enthroned for ever, keeping his throne firm for judgement;	7 Inimici defecerunt frameæ in finem, et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu ;
8 he wil himself judge the world in uprightness, wil give a true verdict on the nations.	8 et Dominus in æternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,
9 May Yahweh be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble!	9 et ipse judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate : judicabit populos in justitia.
10 Those who revere your name can rely on you, you never desert those who seek you, Yahweh.	10 Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi ; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
11 Sing to Yahweh who dwel s in Zion, tel the nations his mighty deeds,	11 Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quærentes te, Domine.
12 for the avenger of blood does not forget them, he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.	12 Psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion ; annuntiate inter gentes studia ejus :
13 Have pity on me, Yahweh, see my affliction, pull me back from the gates of death,	13 quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est ; non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
14 that I may recount al your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in your salvation.	14 Miserere mei, Domine : vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis,
15 The nations have fal en into the trap they made, their feet caught in the snare they laid.	15 qui exaltas me de portis mortis, ut annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiæ Sion :
16 Yahweh has made himself known, given judgement, he has ensnared the wicked in the work of theirown hands.Muted music Pause	16 exultabo in salutari tuo. Infixæ sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt ; in laqueo isto quem absconderunt comprehensus est pes eorum.
17 May the wicked turn away to Sheol, al the nations forgetful of God.	17 Cognoscetur Dominus judicia faciens ; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
18 For the needy is not forgotten for ever, not for ever does the hope of the poor come to nothing.	18 Convertantur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes quæ obliviscuntur Deum.
19 Arise, Yahweh; human strength shal not prevail. The nations shal stand trial before you.	19 Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis ; patientia pauperum non peribit in finem.
20 Strike them with terror, Yahweh; the nations shall know that they are no more than human!Pause	20 Exsurge, Domine ; non confortetur homo : judicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.
	21 Constitue, Domine, legislatorem super eos, ut sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.
	22 Ut quid, Domine, recessisti longe ; despicis in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione ?
	23 Dum superbit impius, incenditur pauper : comprehenduntur in consiliis quibus cogitant.
	24 Quoniam laudatur peccator in desideriis animæ suæ, et iniquus benedicitur.
	25 Exacerbavit Dominum peccator : secundum multitudinem iræ suæ, non quæret.
	26 Non est Deus in conspectu ejus ; inquinatæ sunt viæ illius in omni tempore. Auferuntur judicia tua a facie ejus ; omnium inimicorum suorum dominabitur.
	27 Dixit enim in corde suo : Non movebor a generatione in generationem, sine malo.
	28 Cujus maledictione os plenum est, et amaritudine, et dolo ; sub lingua ejus labor et dolor.
	29 Sedet in insidiis cum divitibus in occultis, ut interficiat innocentem.
	30 Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt ; insidiatur in abscondito, quasi leo in spelunca sua. Insidiatur ut rapiat pauperem ; rapere pauperem dum attrahit eum.
	31 In laqueo suo humiliabit eum ; inclinabit se, et cadet cum dominatus fuerit pauperum.
	32 Dixit enim in corde suo : Oblitus est Deus ; avertit faciem suam, ne videat in finem.
	33 Exsurge, Domine Deus, exaltetur manus tua ; ne obliviscaris pauperum.
	34 Propter quid irritavit impius Deum ? dixit enim in corde suo : Non requiret.
	35 Vides, quoniam tu laborem et dolorem consideras, ut tradas eos in manus tuas. Tibi derelictus est pauper ; orphano tu eris adjutor.
	36 Contere brachium peccatoris et maligni ; quæretur peccatum illius, et non invenietur.
	37 Dominus regnabit in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi ; peribitis, gentes, de terra illius.
	38 Desiderium pauperum exaudivit Dominus ; præparationem cordis eorum audivit auris tua :
	39 judicare pupillo et humili, ut non apponat ultra magnificare se homo super terram.
