Psalms 9

Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.

In finem, pro occultis filii. Psalmus David.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων τοῦ υἱοῦ ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ

I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.

Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo; narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.

ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου

I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.

Lætabor et exsultabo in te; psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.

εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοί ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ὕψιστε

When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.

In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum; infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.

ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἀσθενήσουσιν καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου

For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.

Quoniam fecisti judicium meum et causam meam; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.

ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην

Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

Increpasti gentes, et periit impius : nomen eorum delesti in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.

ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος

The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:

Inimici defecerunt frameæ in finem, et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu;

τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετ' ἤχους

But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:

et Dominus in æternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,

καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.

et ipse judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate : judicabit populos in justitia.

καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι

And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.

Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.

καὶ ἐγένετο κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει

And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.

Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quærentes te, Domine.

καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε κύριε

Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:

Psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia ejus:

ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιων ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ

For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.

quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est; non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.

ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς κραυγῆς τῶν πενήτων

Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.

Miserere mei, Domine : vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis,

ἐλέησόν με κύριε ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

qui exaltas me de portis mortis, ut annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiæ Sion:

ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιων ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου

I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.

exultabo in salutari tuo. Infixæ sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt; in laqueo isto quem absconderunt comprehensus est pes eorum.

ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ ᾗ ἐποίησαν ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ ᾗ ἔκρυψαν συνελήμφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν

The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

Cognoscetur Dominus judicia faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.

γινώσκεται κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος

The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.

Convertantur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes quæ obliviscuntur Deum.

ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ θεοῦ

For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis; patientia pauperum non peribit in finem.

ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχός ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

Exsurge, Domine; non confortetur homo : judicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.

ἀνάστηθι κύριε μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου

Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.

Constitue, Domine, legislatorem super eos, ut sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.

κατάστησον κύριε νομοθέτην ἐπ' αὐτούς γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι ἄνθρωποί εἰσιν διάψαλμα

Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?

Ut quid, Domine, recessisti longe; despicis in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione?

ἵνα τί κύριε ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει

Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.

Dum superbit impius, incenditur pauper : comprehenduntur in consiliis quibus cogitant.

ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις οἷς διαλογίζονται

For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.

Quoniam laudatur peccator in desideriis animæ suæ, et iniquus benedicitur.

ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται

The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him:

Exacerbavit Dominum peccator : secundum multitudinem iræ suæ, non quæret.

παρώξυνεν τὸν κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλός κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed form his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.

Non est Deus in conspectu ejus; inquinatæ sunt viæ illius in omni tempore. Auferuntur judicia tua a facie ejus; omnium inimicorum suorum dominabitur.

βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει

For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.

Dixit enim in corde suo : Non movebor a generatione in generationem, sine malo.

εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ

His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

Cujus maledictione os plenum est, et amaritudine, et dolo; sub lingua ejus labor et dolor.

οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος

He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, that he may kill the innocent.

Sedet in insidiis cum divitibus in occultis, ut interficiat innocentem.

ἐγκάθηται ἐνέδρᾳ μετὰ πλουσίων ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῷον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν

His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; insidiatur in abscondito, quasi leo in spelunca sua. Insidiatur ut rapiat pauperem; rapere pauperem dum attrahit eum.

ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν

In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

In laqueo suo humiliabit eum; inclinabit se, et cadet cum dominatus fuerit pauperum.

ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ ταπεινώσει αὐτόν κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων

For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.

Dixit enim in corde suo : Oblitus est Deus; avertit faciem suam, ne videat in finem.

εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐπιλέλησται ὁ θεός ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος

Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

Exsurge, Domine Deus, exaltetur manus tua; ne obliviscaris pauperum.

ἀνάστηθι κύριε ὁ θεός ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων

Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

Propter quid irritavit impius Deum? dixit enim in corde suo : Non requiret.

ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν θεόν εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει

Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

Vides, quoniam tu laborem et dolorem consideras, ut tradas eos in manus tuas. Tibi derelictus est pauper; orphano tu eris adjutor.

βλέπεις ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου σοὶ οὖν ἐγκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχός ὀρφανῷ σὺ ἦσθα βοηθῶν

Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

Contere brachium peccatoris et maligni; quæretur peccatum illius, et non invenietur.

σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ δι' αὐτήν

The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

Dominus regnabit in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; peribitis, gentes, de terra illius.

βασιλεύσει κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος ἀπολεῖσθε ἔθνη ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ

The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

Desiderium pauperum exaudivit Dominus; præparationem cordis eorum audivit auris tua:

τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχεν τὸ οὖς σου

To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

judicare pupillo et humili, ut non apponat ultra magnificare se homo super terram.

κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι τοῦ μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
