Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Til Sangmesteren; til Muth-Labben; en Psalme af David. Jeg vil takke Herren af mit ganske Hjerte, jeg vil fortælle alle dine underfulde Gerninger.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Jeg vil glæde og fryde mig i dig, jeg vil lovsynge dit Navn, du Højeste!
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Naar mine Fjender vige tilbage, da skulle de støde an og omkomme for dig.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Thi du har udført min Ret og min Sag; du har sat dig paa Tronen, du, som dømmer Retfærdighed.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Du truede Hedningerne, du tilintetgjorde den ugudelige, du, udslettede deres Navn evindelig og altid.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Fjenderne ere ikke mere, de ere ødelagte evindelig; og du har nedbrudt Stæderne, deres Ihukommelse er forsvunden med dem.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Men Herren skal blive evindelig; han har beredt sin Trone til Dom.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Og han skal dømme Verden med Retfærdighed; han skal afsige Dom over Folkene med Retvished.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Og Herren være den ringe en Ophøjelse, ja en Ophøjelse i Nødens Tider!
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Og de, som kendte dit Navn, skulle forlade sig paa dig; thi du har ikke forladt dem, som søge dig, Herre!
11 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.
Lovsynger Herren, som bor paa Zion, kundgører iblandt Folkene hans Gerninger!
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Thi han, som hævner Blod, kommer dem i Hu, han har ikke glemt de elendiges Skrig.
13 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].
Herre, vær mig naadig, se, kvad jeg maa taale af dem, som hade mig, du som ophøjer mig fra Dødens Porte,
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
paa det jeg kan fortælle al din Lov i Zions Datters Porte, at jeg maa fryde mig i din Frelse.
15 [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.
Hedningerne ere sunkne i Graven, som de gjorde; deres Fod er greben i Garnet, som de skjulte.
16 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.
Herren er bleven kendt, han har gjort Ret; den ugudelige er besnæret i sine Hænders Gerning. (Higgajon, Sela)
17 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)
Lad de ugudelige vende om til Dødsriget, ja, alle Hedninger, som glemme Gud. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Thi en fattig skal ikke glemmes evindelig, de elendiges Forventning ikke altid skuffes.
19 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.
Herre! staa op, lad ikke et Menneske blive mægtigt; lad Hedningerne dømmes for dit Ansigt!
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Lad Frygt, o Herre! komme paa dem; lad Hedningerne kende, at de ere Mennesker. (Sela)
