詩篇 9
1 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。
I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
2 我要因你歡喜快樂； 至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名！
I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 我的仇敵轉身退去的時候， 他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
4 因你已經為我伸冤，為我辨屈； 你坐在寶座上，按公義審判。
For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
5 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。
Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 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。
The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,
7 惟耶和華坐着為王，直到永遠； 他已經為審判設擺他的寶座。
but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
8 他要按公義審判世界， 按正直判斷萬民。
and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
9 耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高臺， 在患難的時候作高臺。
Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
10 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。
And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
11 應當歌頌居錫安的耶和華， 將他所行的傳揚在眾民中。
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
12 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。
For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
13 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，
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death
14 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。
that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 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。
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16 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)
Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 窮乏人必不永久被忘； 困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。
For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
19 耶和華啊，求你起來，不容人得勝！ 願外邦人在你面前受審判！
Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 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)
Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
