Psalm 9
1 [Psalm lal David] Nga fah kaksakin kom, LEUM GOD, ke insiuk nufon; Nga fah fahkak ke ma wolana nukewa kom orala.
“For the leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.” I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 Nga ac fah on ac engan ke sripom. Nga fah on ac kaksakin kom, tuh kom God Kulana.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High!
3 Mwet lokoalok luk elos folokla ke pacl ma kom sikyak; Elos putatla ac misa.
All my enemies are turned back; They fall and perish at thy presence.
4 Kom suwoswos ac pwaye in nununku lom, Ac kom wiyu lac ke kom nununkeyu.
For thou dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge.
5 Kom nununku lain mwet pegan Ac kom kunausla mwet koluk; Inelos ac fah tia sifil esamyuk.
Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore!
6 Mwet lokoalok lasr fah wanginla ma pahtpat, Tuh kom kunausla siti selos, Ac elos tiana sifil esamyuk.
The enemy is fallen, —a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished!
7 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El tokosra ma pahtpat; El oakiya tron lal tuh in nien nununku.
The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 El leumi faclu ke suwoswos; El nununku faclu ke nununku suwohs.
He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness.
9 LEUM GOD El nien molela nu sin mwet akkeokyeyuk, El nien wikla in pacl upa.
Yea, the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed; A refuge in times of trouble.
10 LEUM GOD, elos su etekom ac fah lulalfongi kom; Ac kom tia sisla kutena mwet su tuku nu yurum.
They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee!
11 Yuk on in kaksak nu sin LEUM GOD, su muta ac leum in Zion! Fahkak nu sin mutunfacl nukewa ma El orala.
Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people!
12 God El esamulos su keok; El tia mulkunla tung lalos, Ac El kaelos su oru koluk nu selos.
As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint.
13 O LEUM GOD, pakoten nu sik! Liye mwe keok su mwet lokoalok luk elos oru nu sik! LEUM GOD, moliyula liki misa,
“Have pity upon me, [[said I, ]] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death:
14 Tuh nga fah tu ye mutun mwet Jerusalem Ac fahkak nu selos ma nukewa su nga kaksakin kom kac. Nga ac fah arulana engan mweyen kom moliyula.
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.”
15 Mwet pegan elos sifacna pukanak luf se ac putatyang nu loac; Elos sruhu ke sruhf lalos sifacna.
The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.
16 LEUM GOD El sifacna akkalemyal nu selos ke nununku suwoswos lal, Ac mwet koluk elos sremla ke orekma koluk lun paolos sifacna.
Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [[Stringed instruments. (Pause)
The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Mwet enenu ac fah tia mulkinyuklana nwe tok, Ac finsrak lun mwet sukasrup ac fah tia pilesreyuk nwe tok.
For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever.
19 Fahsru, LEUM GOD! Nikmet lela kutena mwet in ku liki nununku lom! Use mwet pegan nu ye motom Ac orala nununku lom nu selos.
Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee!
20 Oru tuh elos in sangeng, O LEUM GOD; Oru tuh elos in etu lah elos mwet sukawil moul la.
Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! (Pause)
