Ações de graças
Ao mestre de canto, segundo a melodia "A morte para o filho". Salmo de Davi

1 Louvar-te-ei, Senhor, de todo o meu coração;

contarei todas as tuas maravilhas.

2 Alegrar-me-ei e exultarei em ti;

ao teu nome, ó Altíssimo, eu cantarei louvores.

3 Pois, ao retrocederem os meus inimigos,

tropeçam e somem-se da tua presença;

4 porque sustentas o meu direito e a minha causa;

no trono te assentas e julgas retamente.

5 Repreendes as nações, destróis o ímpio

e para todo o sempre lhes apagas o nome.

6 Quanto aos inimigos, estão consumados,

suas ruínas são perpétuas,

arrasaste as suas cidades;

até a sua memória pereceu.

7 Mas o Senhor permanece no seu trono eternamente,

trono que erigiu para julgar.

8 Ele mesmo julga o mundo com justiça;

administra os povos com retidão.

9 O Senhor é também alto refúgio para o oprimido,

refúgio nas horas de tribulação.

10 Em ti, pois, confiam os que conhecem o teu nome,

porque tu, Senhor, não desamparas os que te buscam.

11 Cantai louvores ao Senhor, que habita em Sião;

proclamai entre os povos os seus feitos.

12 Pois aquele que requer o sangue lembra-se deles

e não se esquece do clamor dos aflitos.

13 Compadece-te de mim, Senhor;

vê a que sofrimentos me reduziram os que me odeiam,

tu que me levantas das portas da morte;

14 para que, às portas da filha de Sião,

eu proclame todos os teus louvores

e me regozije da tua salvação.

15 Afundam-se as nações na cova que fizeram,

no laço que esconderam, prendeu-se-lhes o pé.

16 Faz-se conhecido o Senhor, pelo juízo que executa;

enlaçado está o ímpio nas obras de suas próprias mãos.

17 Os perversos serão lançados no inferno,

e todas as nações que se esquecem de Deus.

18 Pois o necessitado não será para sempre esquecido,

e a esperança dos aflitos não se há de frustrar perpetuamente.

19 Levanta-te, Senhor; não prevaleça o mortal.

Sejam as nações julgadas na tua presença.

20 Infunde-lhes, Senhor, o medo;

saibam as nações que não passam de mortais.

For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

1 I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;

I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and exult in thee;

I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

3 When mine enemies turn back,

They stumble and perish at thy presence.

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;

Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;

Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;

And the cities which thou hast overthrown,

The very remembrance of them is perished.

7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:

He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

8 And he will judge the world in righteousness,

He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

A high tower in times of trouble;

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;

For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the people his doings.

12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;

He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;

Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

14 That I may show forth all thy praise.

In the gates of the daughter of Zion

I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:

In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,

Even all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,

Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:

Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah:

Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah

1 I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.

4 For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.

7 The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.

8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.

9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.

12 For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

13 LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16 The LORD is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. [^1]

17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.

18 But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

19 Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.

20 Strike them with terror, LORD; let the nations know they are only mortal.
