< Psalmi 9 >
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Umri za sina”. Psalam. Davidov. ALEF Slavim te, Jahve, svim srcem svojim, ispovijedam sva čudesna djela tvoja.
For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
2 Radujem se i kličem tebi, pjevam imenu tvome, Svevišnji!
I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
3 BET Dušmani moji natrag krenuše, padoše i pred licem tvojim pogiboše.
When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
4 Jer ti se zauze za moje pravo i parbu moju, ti sjede na prijesto - sudac pravedan:
For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
5 GIMEL ti pokara pogane, pogubi bezbošca, ime im izbrisa dovijeka.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Dušmani klonuše, smrvljeni zauvijek, ti im gradove razori - nesta im spomena.
O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
7 HE Ali Jahve dovijeka stoluje, postavi prijesto svoj da sudi:
But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
8 sam po pravdi sudi krug zemaljski, izreče pucima osudu pravednu.
And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
9 VAU Jahve je tvrđava tlačenom, tvrđava spasa u danima tjeskobe.
The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
10 Nek' se uzdaju u te koji znaju ime tvoje, jer ne ostavljaš onih što ljube tebe, o Jahve.
And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
11 ZAJIN Pjevajte Jahvi koji prebiva na Sionu, razglašujte među pucima djela njegova,
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
12 jer ih se spomenu kao osvetnik krvi i siromaškog jauka ne zaboravi.
For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
13 HET Smiluj mi se, Jahve: pogledaj nevolju u koju me vrgoše neprijatelji moji, od vrata smrti izbavi me
Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 da naviještam sve hvale tvoje na vratima kćeri Sionske, da radostan kličem zbog spasenja tvoga.
That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
15 TET Pogani padoše u jamu koju sami iskopaše, zamka koju potajno staviše uhvati nogu njihovu.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Jahve se iskaza i sud održa; grešnik se spleo u djela svoja.
The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 JOD Nek' grešnici odu u Podzemlje, svi pogani što zaboraviše Boga. (Sheol )
The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol )
18 KAF Jer siromah neće pasti u zaborav zauvijek, ufanje ubogih neće biti zaludu dovijeka.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 Ustani, Jahve, da se ne osili čovjek, nek' pogani budu osuđeni pred tobom!
Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
20 Strah im, o Jahve, utjeraj, nek' spoznaju pogani da su smrtnici!
Set terror over them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. (Selah)
