1Quiero alabarte, SEÑOR, con todo el corazón, y contar todas tus maravillas.2Quiero alegrarme y regocijarme en ti, y cantar salmos a tu nombre, oh Altísimo.3Mis enemigos retroceden; tropiezan y perecen ante ti.4Porque tú me has hecho justicia, me has vindicado; tú, juez justo, ocupas tu trono.5Reprendiste a los paganos, destruiste a los malvados; ¡para siempre borraste su memoria!6Desgracia sin fin cayó sobre el enemigo; arrancaste de raíz sus ciudades, y hasta su recuerdo se ha desvanecido.7Pero el SEÑOR reina por siempre; para emitir juicio ha establecido su trono.8Juzgará al mundo con justicia; gobernará a los pueblos con equidad.9El SEÑOR es refugio de los oprimidos; es su baluarte en momentos de angustia.10En ti confían los que conocen tu nombre, porque tú, SEÑOR, jamás abandonas a los que te buscan.11Cantad salmos al SEÑOR, el rey de Sión; proclamad sus proezas entre las naciones.12El vengador de los inocentes[1] se acuerda de ellos; no pasa por alto el clamor de los afligidos.13Ten compasión de mí, SEÑOR; mira cómo me afligen los que me odian. Sácame de las puertas de la muerte,14para que en las puertas de Jerusalén[2] proclame tus alabanzas y me regocije en tu salvación.15Han caído los paganos en la fosa que han cavado; sus pies quedaron atrapados en la red que ellos mismos escondieron.16Al SEÑOR se le conoce porque imparte justicia; el malvado cae en la trampa que él mismo tendió. Higaión. Selah17Bajan al sepulcro los malvados, todos los paganos que de Dios se olvidan.18Pero el necesitado no será olvidado para siempre, ni para siempre se perderá la esperanza del pobre.19¡Levántate, SEÑOR! No dejes que el hombre prevalezca; ¡haz que las naciones comparezcan ante ti!20Infúndeles terror, SEÑOR; ¡que los pueblos sepan que son simples mortales! Selah
1[1] To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.[2] A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. (Sal 26:7; Sal 40:5; Sal 96:3; Sal 105:5)2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Sal 5:11; Sal 7:17; Sal 83:18)3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before[3] your presence.4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. (Sal 29:10; Sal 140:12)5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. (Dt 9:14; Dt 29:20; Sal 68:30; Pr 10:7)6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.7But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. (Sal 58:11; Sal 96:10; Sal 96:13; Sal 98:9)9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (2 S 22:3; Sal 10:1; Sal 10:18; Sal 74:21; Pr 18:10)10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. (Sal 91:14)11Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds! (Sal 76:2; Sal 77:12; Sal 107:22)12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. (Gn 9:5; 1 R 21:17; Sal 9:18; Sal 10:12; Sal 10:13; Sal 12:5)13Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, (Job 38:17; Sal 4:1)14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. (1 S 2:1; 2 R 19:21; Sal 13:5; Sal 20:5; Sal 21:1; Sal 35:9; Is 37:22)15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. (Job 18:8; Sal 7:15)16The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. [4] (Ex 7:5; Ex 14:4)17The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Gn 3:19; Job 8:13; Sal 50:22; Is 51:13)18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. (Pr 23:18; Pr 24:14)19Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! (Sal 3:7; Sal 10:18)20Put them in fear, O Lord! Let the nations know that they are but men! (Sal 9:19)
