詩篇 9
1 【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；
“For the leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.” I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 我要因你而歡欣踴躍，歌頌你至高者的名號。
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High!
3 因為我的仇敵已經退藏，在你面前已顛仆滅亡。
All my enemies are turned back; They fall and perish at thy presence.
4 你登上寶座，秉行公義，為我審斷了是非曲直。
For thou dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge.
5 你摧毀了異民，殲滅惡徒，你把他們的名字永遠消除。
Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore!
6 敵人現已覆滅，永遠沉淪，你蕩平的城邑，全不留名。
The enemy is fallen, —a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished!
7 上主為王於永遠，安置寶座秉公審判。
The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 以公義審訊世人，將以正直判決萬民。
He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness.
9 上主將是受迫害者的碉堡，作他困厄中的避難所。
Yea, the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed; A refuge in times of trouble.
10 凡認識你名號的人，必仰望你，上主，尋覓你的人，你必不擯棄。
They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee!
11 你們該歌頌上主，祂住在熙雍，在萬民中宣揚祂的一切化工：
Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people!
12 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。
As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint.
13 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，
“Have pity upon me, [[said I, ]] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death:
14 好使我在熙雍女子門口，宣揚你的美譽，欣享你的助祐。
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.”
15 異民都落於自己挖掘的深坑，他們的腳都掉入自設的陷阱。
The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.
16 上主自顯於世，行了審判，惡人被自設的羅網所陷。
Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [[Stringed instruments. (Pause)
The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God. (Sheol h7585)
18 困苦的人絕不會被遺忘，窮人的依靠永不會喪亡。
For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever.
19 上主，起來，莫讓世人獲勝，願異民盡都在你前受審!
Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee!
20 上主，懇請你恐嚇異民，使他們自知不過是人
Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! (Pause)
