Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用慕拉便。 我要一心稱謝耶和華； 我要傳揚你一切奇妙的作為。
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
我要因你歡喜快樂； 至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名！
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
我的仇敵轉身退去的時候， 他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
因你已經為我伸冤，為我辨屈； 你坐在寶座上，按公義審判。
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
你曾斥責外邦，你曾滅絕惡人； 你曾塗抹他們的名，直到永永遠遠。
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
仇敵到了盡頭； 他們被毀壞，直到永遠。 你拆毀他們的城邑， 連他們的名號都歸於無有。
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
惟耶和華坐着為王，直到永遠； 他已經為審判設擺他的寶座。
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
他要按公義審判世界， 按正直判斷萬民。
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高臺， 在患難的時候作高臺。
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
耶和華啊，認識你名的人要倚靠你， 因你沒有離棄尋求你的人。
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
應當歌頌居錫安的耶和華， 將他所行的傳揚在眾民中。
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
因為那追討流人血之罪的－他記念受屈的人， 不忘記困苦人的哀求。
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
耶和華啊，你是從死門把我提拔起來的； 求你憐恤我，看那恨我的人所加給我的苦難，
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
好叫我述說你一切的美德； 我必在錫安城的門因你的救恩歡樂。
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中； 他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裏纏住了。
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
耶和華已將自己顯明了，他已施行審判； 惡人被自己手所做的纏住了 (細拉)
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
惡人，就是忘記上帝的外邦人， 都必歸到陰間。 (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
窮乏人必不永久被忘； 困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
耶和華啊，求你起來，不容人得勝！ 願外邦人在你面前受審判！
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
耶和華啊，求你使外邦人恐懼； 願他們知道自己不過是人。 (細拉)
