Psalms 9
1 To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David. I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu Mut-Laben. Mazmur Daud. Dengan sepenuh hati aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu, TUHAN, dan mewartakan karya-Mu yang mengagumkan.
2 I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.
Aku mau bergembira dan bersukacita karena Engkau dan memuji nama-Mu, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi.
3 When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.
Di hadapan-Mu musuhku berbalik dan lari; mereka jatuh tersandung dan mati.
4 For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.
Sebab Engkau memerintah sebagai hakim yang adil; Engkau telah membela perkaraku.
5 You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
Engkau telah menghukum bangsa-bangsa dan membinasakan orang-orang jahat; mereka dilupakan untuk selama-lamanya.
6 You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.
Musuh kami sudah habis dipunahkan, kota-kota mereka Kauhancurkan; tak ada yang mengingatnya lagi.
7 But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.
TUHAN memerintah untuk selama-lamanya; Ia mendirikan takhta-Nya untuk menghakimi dunia.
8 And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.
Ia memerintah bangsa-bangsa dengan adil dan menghakimi mereka dengan jujur.
9 The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;
TUHAN itu tempat berlindung bagi orang tertindas, tempat bernaung di waktu kesesakan.
10 And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.
Orang yang mengenal Engkau berharap pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, orang yang menyembah Engkau tidak Kautinggalkan.
11 Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.
Pujilah TUHAN yang memerintah di Sion! Ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa!
12 When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.
Sebab Ia ingat kepada orang yang menderita dan tidak melupakan jeritan mereka; orang yang melakukan kekerasan dihukum-Nya.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;
Lihatlah, musuh menyengsarakan aku; kasihanilah aku, ya TUHAN, luputkanlah aku dari maut,
14 So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
supaya aku memuji Engkau di depan penduduk Yerusalem. Aku akan bersorak gembira karena Engkau menyelamatkan aku.
15 The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.
Bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau jatuh ke dalam lubang yang mereka gali sendiri; mereka terjerat dalam jaring mereka sendiri.
16 The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion, Selah)
TUHAN telah menyatakan diri-Nya karena keputusan-Nya yang adil. Orang jahat terjerumus oleh perbuatannya sendiri.
17 The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
Maut adalah kesudahan orang-orang jahat, bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengindahkan Allah. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.
Tidak untuk selamanya orang miskin dilupakan; tidak untuk seterusnya orang sengsara tanpa harapan.
19 Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.
Bangkitlah, TUHAN, hakimilah bangsa-bangsa, jangan biarkan manusia menyombongkan dirinya.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah)
Biarlah mereka menjadi takut, ya TUHAN, dan menyadari bahwa mereka hanya manusia.
