SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:11

¶ Cantad al SEÑOR, el que habita en Sion. Noticiad en los pueblos sus obras.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 9:12

Verse 12. When he maketh inquisition for blood ] This not only applies to the Canaanites, Moabites, Ammonites, and Philistines, who shed the blood of God's people unjustly, but to all the nations of the earth who, to enlarge their territory, increase their wealth, or extend their commerce, have made destructive wars. For the blood which such nations have shed, their blood shall be shed. If man should make no inquisition for this iniquitously spilt blood, GOD will do it, for he remembers them; and the cry of the humbled, distressed people, driven to distraction and ruin by such wars, is not forgotten before him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-20 - Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day coming, when it will appear that he has no forgotten the cry of the humble; neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never brought so low, so near to death but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eterna death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very present help to us. The overruling providence of God frequently s orders it, that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by the projects they formed to destroy the people of God. Drunkards kil themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischie upon themselves: thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, an it becomes plain to all, that the destruction of sinners is of themselves. All wickedness came originally with the wicked one from hell; and those who continue in sin, must go to that place of torment The true state, both of nations and of individuals, may be correctl estimated by this one rule, whether in their doings they remember of forget God. David encourages the people of God to wait for his salvation, though it should be long deferred. God will make it appea that he never did forget them: it is not possible he should. Strang that man, dust in his and about him, should yet need some shar affliction, some severe visitation from God, to bring him to the knowledge of himself, and make him feel who and what he is __________________________________________________________________
