称颂 神公义的审判

大卫的诗,交给诗班长,调用“慕拉宾”。

耶和华啊!我要全心称谢你,

我要述说你一切奇妙的作为。

我要因你快乐欢欣;

至高者啊!我要歌颂你的名。

我的仇敌转身退后的时候,

就在你的面前绊倒、灭亡。

因为你为我伸了冤,辨了屈;

你坐在宝座上,施行公义的审判。

你斥责了列国,灭绝了恶人;

你涂抹了他们的名,直到永永远远。

仇敌的结局到了,他们遭毁灭,

直到永远;

你拆毁他们的城镇,使它们湮没无闻。

耶和华却永远坐着为王,

为了施行审判,他已经设立宝座。

他必以公义审判世界,

按正直判断万民。

耶和华要给受欺压的人作保障,

作患难时的避难所。

10 认识你名的人必倚靠你;

耶和华啊!你从未撇弃寻求你的人。

11 你们要歌颂住在锡安的耶和华,

要在万民中传扬他的作为。

12 因为那追讨流人血的罪的,他记念受苦的人,

他没有忘记他们的哀求。

13 耶和华啊!求你恩待我,

看看那些恨我的人加给我的苦难;

求你把我从死门拉上来,

14 好叫我述说你一切可称颂的事,

并在锡安的城门(“的城门”原文作“女子的门”)因你的救恩欢乐。

15 列国陷入自己挖掘的坑中,

他们的脚在自己暗设的网里缠住了。

16 耶和华已经把自己显明,又施行了审判;

恶人被自己手所作的缠住了。

(希迦庸、细拉)

17 恶人都必归到阴间,

忘记 神的列国都必灭亡。

18 但贫穷的人必不会被永远遗忘,

困苦人的希望也必不会永久落空。

19 耶和华啊!求你起来,不要让世人得胜;

愿列国都在你面前受审判。

20 耶和华啊!求你使他们惊惧,

愿列国都知道自己不过是人。(细拉)

Psalm 9

Praise for God’s Righteous Judgment

Heading

For the choir director. According to “The Death of the Son.”[a] A psalm by David.

Praise for God’s Righteous Judgment

I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart.
I will tell about all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will make music to your name, O Most High.

Judgment Against David’s Enemies

When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish from your presence,
for you have upheld my rights and my cause.
You sat on the throne, judging righteously.
You have rebuked the nations,
and you made the wicked perish.
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
As for the enemy, their destruction is complete and final.
You have uprooted cities.
Memory of them has perished with them.

Judgment Against the Whole World

The Lord is seated forever.
He has established his throne for judgment.
The Lord himself will judge the world in righteousness.
He will judge the peoples with fairness.
The Lord will be a refuge for those who have been crushed,
a refuge for times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Closing Praise and Final Appeal

11 Make music for the Lord, who is seated in Zion.
Proclaim his deeds among the peoples.
12 Yes, he who avenges bloodshed remembers them.
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord.
See my afflictions that are caused by those who hate me,
and raise me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may declare all your praise.
In the gates of the Daughter of Zion[b] I will rejoice in your salvation.

The Fate of the Wicked

15 The nations have sunk into the pit they have made.
Their feet are caught in the net that they have hidden.
16 The Lord makes himself known by the judgment he has carried out.
By the work of his hands the wicked are snared. Interlude for meditation[c]
17 The wicked return to the grave,
all the nations who forget God.
18 But he will never forget the needy.
The hope of the afflicted will never perish.
19 Rise up, O Lord. Do not let man triumph.
Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with fear, O Lord.
Let the nations know they are only human. Interlude

  1. Psalm 9:1 Psalms 9 and 10 may originally have been a single acrostic poem in which alternating lines began with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the Septuagint they constitute one psalm.
  2. Psalm 9:1 In Hebrew texts 9:1-20 is numbered 9:2-21.
  3. Psalm 9:16 The Hebrew has Higgaion and Selah (words of uncertain meaning) here; Selah occurs also at the end of verse 20.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
