诗篇 9
1 大卫的诗，交与伶长。调用慕拉便。 我要一心称谢耶和华； 我要传扬你一切奇妙的作为。
Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
2 我要因你欢喜快乐； 至高者啊，我要歌颂你的名！
I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
3 我的仇敌转身退去的时候， 他们一见你的面就跌倒灭亡。
When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
4 因你已经为我伸冤，为我辨屈； 你坐在宝座上，按公义审判。
You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
5 你曾斥责外邦，你曾灭绝恶人； 你曾涂抹他们的名，直到永永远远。
You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
6 仇敌到了尽头； 他们被毁坏，直到永远。 你拆毁他们的城邑， 连他们的名号都归于无有。
Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
7 惟耶和华坐着为王，直到永远； 他已经为审判设摆他的宝座。
But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
8 他要按公义审判世界， 按正直判断万民。
and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
9 耶和华又要给受欺压的人作高台， 在患难的时候作高台。
Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
10 耶和华啊，认识你名的人要倚靠你， 因你没有离弃寻求你的人。
Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
11 应当歌颂居锡安的耶和华， 将他所行的传扬在众民中。
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.
12 因为那追讨流人血之罪的—他记念受屈的人， 不忘记困苦人的哀求。
He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
13 耶和华啊，你是从死门把我提拔起来的； 求你怜恤我，看那恨我的人所加给我的苦难，
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].
14 好叫我述说你一切的美德； 我必在锡安城的门因你的救恩欢乐。
I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
15 外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中； 他们的脚在自己暗设的网罗里缠住了。
[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.
16 耶和华已将自己显明了，他已施行审判； 恶人被自己手所做的缠住了。 (细拉)
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.
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)
18 穷乏人必不永久被忘； 困苦人的指望必不永远落空。
But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
19 耶和华啊，求你起来，不容人得胜！ 愿外邦人在你面前受审判！
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.
20 耶和华啊，求你使外邦人恐惧； 愿他们知道自己不过是人。 (细拉)
Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
