Psalm 9
Confitebor tibi
1
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2
I will be glad and rejoice in you; *
I will sing to your Name, O Most High.
3
When my enemies are driven back, *
they will stumble and perish at your presence.
4
For you have maintained my right and my cause; *
you sit upon your throne judging right.
5
You have rebuked the ungodly and destroyed the wicked; *
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6
As for the enemy, they are finished, in perpetual ruin, *
their cities ploughed under, the memory of them perished;
7
But the Lord is enthroned for ever; *
he has set up his throne for judgment.
8
It is he who rules the world with righteousness; *
he judges the peoples with equity.
9
The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, *
a refuge in time of trouble.
10
Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, *
for you never forsake those who seek you, O Lord.
11
Sing praise to the Lord who dwells in Zion; *
proclaim to the peoples the things he has done.
12
The Avenger of blood will remember them; *
he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13
Have pity on me, O Lord; *
see the misery I suffer from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from the gate of death;
14
So that I may tell of all your praises
and rejoice in your salvation *
in the gates of the city of Zion.
15
The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug, *
and in the snare they set is their own foot caught.
16
The Lord is known by his acts of justice; *
the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands.
17
The wicked shall be given over to the grave, *
and also all the peoples that forget God.
18
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, *
and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19
Rise up, O Lord, let not the ungodly have the upper hand; *
let them be judged before you.
20
Put fear upon them, O Lord; *
let the ungodly know they are but mortal.
Psalm 15
Domine, quis habitabit?
1
Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *
who may abide upon your holy hill?
2
Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *
who speaks the truth from his heart.
3
There is no guile upon his tongue;
he does no evil to his friend; *
he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.
4
In his sight the wicked is rejected, *
but he honors those who fear the Lord.
5
He has sworn to do no wrong *
and does not take back his word.
6
He does not give his money in hope of gain, *
nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
7
Whoever does these things *
shall never be overthrown.
