Psalms 9
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all your wonderful works.
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 be glad and exult in you: I will sing to your name, O you Most High.
我要因你歡喜快樂； 至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名！
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at your presence.
我的仇敵轉身退去的時候， 他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。
4 For you have maintained my cause and my right; you sat on the throne, that judge righteousness.
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 have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; you have blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
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 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and you have destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
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 the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgement.
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 the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
他要按公義審判世界， 按正直判斷萬民。
9 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高臺， 在患難的時候作高臺。
10 And let them that know your name hope in you: for you, O Lord, have not failed them that diligently seek you.
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 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings amongst the nations.
應當歌頌居錫安的耶和華， 將他所行的傳揚在眾民中。
12 For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
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 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
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 that I may declare all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in your salvation.
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 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
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 The Lord is known as executing judgements: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of, Pause)
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)
惡人，就是忘記上帝的外邦人， 都必歸到陰間。 (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
窮乏人必不永久被忘； 困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before you.
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 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause)
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)
