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；
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy wonderful 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。
When my enemies are turned back, they shall 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 hast maintained my right and my cause; thou sattest on the throne judging right.
5 你摧毀了異民，殲滅惡徒，你把他們的名字永遠消除。
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 敵人現已覆滅，永遠沉淪，你蕩平的城邑，全不留名。
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial hath perished with them.
7 上主為王於永遠，安置寶座秉公審判。
But the LORD shall endure 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。
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 上主將是受迫害者的碉堡，作他困厄中的避難所。
The LORD also will be 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。
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken 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 dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
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。
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
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 mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] from them that hate me, thou that liftest 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: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
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 heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] 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。
The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget 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 needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor 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 heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 上主，懇請你恐嚇異民，使他們自知不過是人
Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. (Selah)
