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. Al-mut-labben. En Salme af David.) Jeg vil takke HERREN af hele mit Hjerte, kundgøre alle dine Undere,
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
glæde og fryde mig i dig, lovsynge dit Navn, du Højeste,
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
fordi mine Fjender veg, faldt og forgik for dit Åsyn.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Thi du hævded min Ret og min Sag, du sad på Tronen som Retfærds Dommer.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Du trued ad Folkene, rydded de gudløse ud, deres Navn har du slettet for evigt.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Fjenden er borte, lagt øde for stedse, du omstyrted Byer, de mindes ej mer.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Men HERREN troner evindelig, han rejste 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].
skal dømme Verden med Retfærd, fælde Dom over Folkefærd med Ret.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
HERREN blev de fortryktes Tilflugt, en Tilflugt i Trængselstider;
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
og de stoler på dig, de, som kender dit Navn, thi du svigted ej dem, der søgte 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.
Lovsyng HERREN, der bor på Zion, kundgør blandt Folkene, hvad han har gjort!
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, der hævner Blodskyld, kom dem i Hu, han glemte ikke de armes Råb:
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 nådig, se, hvad jeg lider af Avindsmænd, du, som løfter mig op 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.
at jeg kan kundgøre al din Pris, juble over din Frelse i Zions Datters Porte!"
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.
Folkene sank i Graven, de grov, deres Fod blev hildet i Garnet, de satte.
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 blev åbenbar, holdt Dom, den gudløse hildedes 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)
Til Dødsriget skal de gudløse fare, alle Folk, der ej kommer Gud i Hu. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Thi den fattige glemmes ikke for evigt, ej skuffes evindelig ydmyges Håb.
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.
Rejs dig, HERRE, lad ikke Mennesker få Magten, lad Folkene dømmes for dit Åsyn;
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
HERRE, slå dem med Rædsel, lad Folkene kende, at de er Mennesker! (Sela)
