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.
«Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Μούθ-λαββέν. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Θέλω σε δοξολογήσει, Κύριε, εν όλη καρδία μου· θέλω διηγηθή πάντα τα θαυμάσιά σου.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Θέλω ευφρανθή και χαρή εν σοί· θέλω ψαλμωδήσει εις το όνομά σου, Ύψιστε.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Όταν στραφώσιν οι εχθροί μου εις τα οπίσω, πέσωσι και αφανισθώσιν απ' έμπροσθέν σου.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Διότι συ έκαμες την κρίσιν μου και την δίκην μου· εκάθησας επί θρόνου κρίνων εν δικαιοσύνη·
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Επετίμησας τα έθνη· εξωλόθρευσας τον ασεβή· το όνομα αυτών εξήλειψας εις τον αιώνα του αιώνος·
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Εχθρέ, αι ερημώσεις εξέλιπον διαπαντός· και κατηδάφισας πόλεις· το μνημόσυνον αυτών εχάθη μετ' αυτών.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Αλλ' ο Κύριος διαμένει εις τον αιώνα· ητοίμασε τον θρόνον αυτού διά κρίσιν.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Και αυτός θέλει κρίνει την οικουμένην εν δικαιοσύνη· θέλει κρίνει τους λαούς εν ευθύτητι.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Και ο Κύριος θέλει είσθαι καταφύγιον εις τον πένητα, καταφύγιον εν καιρώ θλίψεως.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Και θέλουσιν ελπίσει επί σε οι γνωρίζοντες το όνομά σου· διότι δεν εγκατέλιπες τους εκζητούντάς σε, Κύριε.
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.
Ψαλμωδείτε εις τον Κύριον, τον κατοικούντα εν Σιών· αναγγείλατε μεταξύ των λαών τα κατορθώματα αυτού·
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.
διότι όταν κάμνη εκζήτησιν αιμάτων, ενθυμείται αυτούς· δεν λησμονεί την κραυγήν των ταλαιπωρουμένων.
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].
Ελέησόν με, Κύριε· ιδέ την θλίψιν μου την εκ των εχθρών μου, συ ο υψόνων με εκ των πυλών του θανάτου,
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.
διά να διηγηθώ πάσας τας αινέσεις σου εν ταις πύλαις της θυγατρός Σιών· εγώ θέλω αγαλλιάσθαι διά την σωτηρίαν σου.
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.
Τα έθνη κατεβυθίσθησαν εις τον λάκκον, τον οποίον έκαμον· εν τη παγίδι, την οποίαν έκρυψαν, επιάσθη ο πους αυτών.
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.
Ο Κύριος γνωρίζεται διά την κρίσιν, την οποίαν κάμνει· ο ασεβής παγιδεύεται εν τω έργω των χειρών αυτού· Ιγαϊών· Διάψαλμα.
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)
Οι ασεβείς θέλουσιν επιστραφή εις τον άδην· πάντα τα έθνη τα λησμονούντα τον Θεόν. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Διότι δεν θέλει λησμονηθή διαπαντός ο πτωχός· η προσδοκία των πενήτων δεν θέλει απολεσθή διαπαντός.
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.
Ανάστηθι, Κύριε· ας μη υπερισχύη άνθρωπος· ας κριθώσι τα έθνη ενώπιόν σου.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Κατάστησον, Κύριε, νομοθέτην επ' αυτούς· ας γνωρίσωσι τα έθνη, ότι είναι άνθρωποι. Διάψαλμα.
