1 To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David.
2 \9:1\I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.
3 \9:2\I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.
4 \9:3\When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.
5 \9:4\For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.
6 \9:5\You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
7 \9:6\You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.
8 \9:7\But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.
9 \9:8\And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.
10 \9:9\The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;
11 \9:10\And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.
12 \9:11\Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.
13 \9:12\When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.
14 \9:13\Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;
15 \9:14\So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
16 \9:15\The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.
17 \9:16\The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)
18 \9:17\The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.
19 \9:18\For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.
20 \9:19\Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.
21 \9:20\Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah.)
4 Aí onde te encontras, sempre julgas com toda a justiça.
5 Repreendeste as nações, e destruíste os maus: nunca mais se terá lembrança deles na Terra.
6 Vocês, meus adversários, estão condenados para sempre. O Senhor destruirá as vossas cidades,e ninguém mais se lembrará delas.
8 Ele mesmo julgará o mundo com justiça,e as nações com toda a rectidão.
9 Todos os que estão oprimidos encontrarão nele refúgio,um perfeito refúgio nos tempos de angústia.
10 Em ti confiarão todos os que conhecem a força do teu nome; pois tu, Senhor, nunca desamparaste os que te buscam.
11 Cantem louvores ao Senhor, que habita em Jerusalém. Digam a toda a gente tudo o que ele fez.
12 Aquele que sabe vingar o assassíniolembra-se certamente de todos os que a ele clamam por justiça. Não se esquece das orações dos que estão aflitos.
13 Tem misericórdia de mim, Senhor; vê como sofro nas mãos daqueles que me odeiam. Tu podes arrebatar-me das garras da morte.
14 Salva-me, para que possa louvar-te publicamente,nas praças de Jerusalém, e para que me alegre por me teres salvo.
15 Os povos caíram nas covas que eles mesmos abrirampara os outros nelas ficarem cativos. Ficaram presos nas armadilhas que prepararam.
16 Toda a gente sabe a maneira como o Senhor castiga os maus,apanhando-os nas suas próprias ciladas!
17 Os maus serão lançados no inferno, assim como todos os que se esquecem de Deus.
18 Porém os que vivem na necessidade jamais serão esquecidos; nem as esperanças dos pobres serão de forma alguma iludidas.
19 Levanta-te, Senhor, que o homem não seja vencedor! Que os povos sejam julgados na tua presença!
20 Fá-los tremer de medo, Senhor, para que saibam que, afinal,não são mais do que meros seres humanos.
