Psalmien 9
1 Veisuunjohtajalle; veisataan kuin: "Kuole pojan puolesta"; Daavidin virsi. Minä ylistän Herraa kaikesta sydämestäni, ilmoitan kaikki sinun ihmetyösi.
Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
2 Minä iloitsen ja riemuitsen sinussa, veisaan sinun nimesi kiitosta, sinä Korkein.
I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
3 Sillä minun viholliseni peräytyivät, kaatuivat maahan ja hukkuivat sinun kasvojesi edessä.
When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
4 Sinä hankit minulle oikeuden ja ajoit minun asiani, sinä istuit valtaistuimelle, sinä vanhurskas tuomari.
You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
5 Sinä nuhtelit pakanoita, tuhosit jumalattomat; sinä pyyhit pois heidän nimensä iäksi ja ainiaaksi.
You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
6 Viholliset ovat tuhotut, ikuisiksi raunioiksi tulleet; kaupungit sinä kukistit, heidän muistonsa on kadonnut.
Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
7 Mutta Herra hallitsee iankaikkisesti; hän on pystyttänyt istuimensa tuomitaksensa.
But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
8 Hän tuomitsee maanpiirin vanhurskaasti, vallitsee kansoja oikeuden mukaan.
and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
9 Niin Herra on sorretun linna, linna ahdingon aikoina.
Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
10 Ja sinuun turvaavat ne, jotka sinun nimesi tuntevat; sillä sinä et hylkää niitä, jotka sinua etsivät, Herra.
Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
11 Veisatkaa kiitosta Herralle, joka Siionissa asuu, julistakaa kansojen keskuudessa hänen suuria tekojaan.
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.
12 Sillä hän, verenkostaja, muistaa heitä eikä unhota kurjain huutoa.
He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
13 Armahda minua, Herra, katso, kuinka minun vihamieheni minua vaivaavat, sinä, joka nostat minut kuoleman porteista,
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].
14 että minä julistaisin kaikki sinun ylistettävät tekosi, tytär Siionin porteissa, riemuitsisin sinun avustasi.
I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
15 Pakanat ovat vajonneet kaivamaansa hautaan; heidän jalkansa takertui verkkoon, jonka he virittivät.
[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.
16 Herra on tehnyt itsensä tunnetuksi, on pitänyt tuomiot, kietonut jumalattoman hänen kättensä tekoihin. -Kanteleen välisoitto. (Sela)
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.
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)
18 Sillä ei köyhää unhoteta iäksi, eikä kurjien toivo huku ainiaaksi.
But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
19 Nouse, Herra, älä salli ihmisten uhitella. Tuomittakoon pakanat sinun kasvojesi edessä.
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.
20 Saata, Herra, heidät pelkoon. Tietäkööt pakanat olevansa vain ihmisiä. (Sela)
Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
