1 Ao mestre de canto. Segundo a melodia A morte para o filho. Salmo de Davi. Eu vos louvarei, Senhor, de todo o coração, todas as vossas maravilhas narrarei.2 Em vós eu estremeço de alegria, cantarei vosso nome, ó Altíssimo!3 Porque meus inimigos recuaram, fraquejaram, pereceram ante a vossa face.4 Pois tomastes a vós meu direito e minha causa, assentastes, ó justo Juiz, em vosso tribunal.5 Com efeito, perseguistes as nações, destruístes o ímpio; apagastes, para sempre, o seu nome.6 Meus inimigos pereceram, consumou-se sua ruína eterna; demolistes suas cidades, sua própria lembrança se acabou.7 O Senhor, porém, domina eternamente; num trono sólido, ele pronuncia seus julgamentos.8 Ele mesmo julgará o universo com justiça, com eqüidade pronunciará sentença sobre os povos.9 O Senhor torna-se refúgio para o oprimido, uma defesa oportuna para os tempos de perigo.10 Aqueles que conheceram vosso nome confiarão em vós, porque, Senhor, jamais abandonais quem vos procura.11 Salmodiai ao Senhor, que habita em Sião; proclamai seus altos feitos entre os povos.12 Porque, vingador do sangue derramado, ele se lembra deles e não esqueceu o clamor dos infelizes.13 Tende piedade de mim, Senhor, vede a miséria a que me reduziram os inimigos; arrancai-me das portas da morte,14 para que nas portas da filha de Sião eu publique vossos louvores, e me regozije de vosso auxílio.15 Caíram as nações no fosso que cavaram; prenderam-se seus pés na armadilha que armaram.16 O Senhor se manifestou e fez justiça, capturando o ímpio em suas próprias redes.17 Que os pecadores caiam na região dos mortos, todos esses povos que olvidaram a Deus.18 O pobre, porém, não ficará no eterno esquecimento; nem a esperança dos aflitos será frustrada para sempre.19 Levantai-vos, Senhor! Não seja o homem quem tenha a última palavra! Que diante de vós sejam julgadas as nações.20 Enchei-as de pavor, Senhor, para que saibam que não passam de simples homens.

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.)
