Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvellous works.
【天主除暴安良】 達味詩歌，交與樂官。調寄「木特拉本」。 上主，我全心讚頌你，宣揚你的一切奇偉；
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
我要因你而歡欣踴躍，歌頌你至高者的名號。
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
因為我的仇敵已經退藏，在你面前已顛仆滅亡。
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
你登上寶座，秉行公義，為我審斷了是非曲直。
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
你摧毀了異民，殲滅惡徒，你把他們的名字永遠消除。
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
敵人現已覆滅，永遠沉淪，你蕩平的城邑，全不留名。
7 But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgement.
上主為王於永遠，安置寶座秉公審判。
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgement to the peoples in uprightness.
以公義審訊世人，將以正直判決萬民。
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
上主將是受迫害者的碉堡，作他困厄中的避難所。
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
凡認識你名號的人，必仰望你，上主，尋覓你的人，你必不擯棄。
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare amongst the people what he has done.
你們該歌頌上主，祂住在熙雍，在萬民中宣揚祂的一切化工：
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
上主追討血債，常懷念悲苦的人民，上主絕不會忘掉他慘痛的呼聲。
13 Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
上主，求你憐憫我，垂視我仇加於我的苦辱，拯救我脫離死亡的門戶，
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
好使我在熙雍女子門口，宣揚你的美譽，欣享你的助祐。
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
異民都落於自己挖掘的深坑，他們的腳都掉入自設的陷阱。
16 The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgement. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
上主自顯於世，行了審判，惡人被自設的羅網所陷。
願一般忘卻天主的異族，願一般惡人都歸於陰府! (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
困苦的人絕不會被遺忘，窮人的依靠永不會喪亡。
19 Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
上主，起來，莫讓世人獲勝，願異民盡都在你前受審!
20 Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
上主，懇請你恐嚇異民，使他們自知不過是人
