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.
Veisuunjohtajalle; veisataan kuin: "Kuole pojan puolesta"; Daavidin virsi. Minä ylistän Herraa kaikesta sydämestäni, ilmoitan kaikki sinun ihmetyösi.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Minä iloitsen ja riemuitsen sinussa, veisaan sinun nimesi kiitosta, sinä Korkein.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Sillä minun viholliseni peräytyivät, kaatuivat maahan ja hukkuivat sinun kasvojesi edessä.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Sinä hankit minulle oikeuden ja ajoit minun asiani, sinä istuit valtaistuimelle, sinä vanhurskas tuomari.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Sinä nuhtelit pakanoita, tuhosit jumalattomat; sinä pyyhit pois heidän nimensä iäksi ja ainiaaksi.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Viholliset ovat tuhotut, ikuisiksi raunioiksi tulleet; kaupungit sinä kukistit, heidän muistonsa on kadonnut.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Mutta Herra hallitsee iankaikkisesti; hän on pystyttänyt istuimensa tuomitaksensa.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Hän tuomitsee maanpiirin vanhurskaasti, vallitsee kansoja oikeuden mukaan.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Niin Herra on sorretun linna, linna ahdingon aikoina.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Ja sinuun turvaavat ne, jotka sinun nimesi tuntevat; sillä sinä et hylkää niitä, jotka sinua etsivät, Herra.
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.
Veisatkaa kiitosta Herralle, joka Siionissa asuu, julistakaa kansojen keskuudessa hänen suuria tekojaan.
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.
Sillä hän, verenkostaja, muistaa heitä eikä unhota kurjain huutoa.
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].
Armahda minua, Herra, katso, kuinka minun vihamieheni minua vaivaavat, sinä, joka nostat minut kuoleman porteista,
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.
että minä julistaisin kaikki sinun ylistettävät tekosi, tytär Siionin porteissa, riemuitsisin sinun avustasi.
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.
Pakanat ovat vajonneet kaivamaansa hautaan; heidän jalkansa takertui verkkoon, jonka he virittivät.
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.
Herra on tehnyt itsensä tunnetuksi, on pitänyt tuomiot, kietonut jumalattoman hänen kättensä tekoihin. -Kanteleen välisoitto. (Sela)
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)
Jumalattomat peräytyvät tuonelaan, kaikki pakanat, jotka unhottavat Jumalan. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Sillä ei köyhää unhoteta iäksi, eikä kurjien toivo huku ainiaaksi.
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.
Nouse, Herra, älä salli ihmisten uhitella. Tuomittakoon pakanat sinun kasvojesi edessä.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Saata, Herra, heidät pelkoon. Tietäkööt pakanat olevansa vain ihmisiä. (Sela)
