大卫的诗。交给圣咏团长,曲调用“慕拉便”。

称颂耶和华的公义

我要一心称谢耶和华,
    传扬你一切奇妙的作为。
我要因你欢喜快乐;
    至高者啊,我要歌颂你的名!

我的仇敌回转撤退的时候,
    他们在你面前跌倒灭亡。
因你已经为我伸冤,为我辩护;
    你坐在宝座上,按公义审判。

你曾斥责列国,灭绝恶人;
    你曾涂去他们的名,直到永永远远。
仇敌到了尽头;
    他们遭毁坏,直到永远。
你拆毁他们的城镇,
    连他们的名字[a]也都消灭!

惟耶和华坐在王位上,直到永远;
    他已经为审判摆设宝座。
他要按公义审判世界,
    按正直判断万民。

耶和华要作受欺压者的庇护所,
    在患难时的庇护所。
10 耶和华啊,认识你名的人要倚靠你,
    因你没有离弃寻求你的人。

11 应当歌颂居于锡安的耶和华,
    将他所做的传扬在万民中。
12 那位追讨流人血的,
    他记念受屈的人,
    不忘记困苦人的哀求。

13 耶和华啊,求你怜悯我!
    你是从死门把我提升起来的,
求你看那恨我的人所加给我的苦难,
14 好让我述说你一切的美德。
    我要在锡安[b]的城门因你的救恩欢乐。

15 外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中,
    他们的脚被自己暗设的网罗缠住了。
16 耶和华已将自己显明,他已施行审判;
    恶人被自己手所做的缠住了[c]。(细拉)

17 恶人,就是忘记 神的外邦人,
    都必归到阴间。
18 贫穷人必不永久被忘,
    困苦人的指望必不永远落空。

19 耶和华啊,求你兴起,不容世人得胜!
    愿外邦人在你面前受审判!
20 耶和华啊,求你使他们恐惧,
    愿外邦人知道自己不过是人。(细拉)

稱頌上帝的公義

大衛的詩,交給樂長,調用「慕拉辨」[a]

耶和華啊,
我要全心全意地讚美你,
傳揚你一切奇妙的作為。
我要因你歡喜快樂,
至高者啊,我要歌頌你的名。
我的仇敵必在你面前敗退,
倒地身亡。
你坐在寶座上按公義審判,
你為我主持公道。
你斥責列國,消滅惡人,
永永遠遠抹去他們的名字。
仇敵永遠滅亡了,
你把他們的城池連根拔起,
無人再記得他們。
耶和華永遠掌權,
祂已設立施行審判的寶座。
祂要以公義審判世界,
在萬民中伸張正義。
耶和華是受欺壓之人的避難所,
是他們患難之時的避風港。
10 耶和華啊,
凡認識你名的人都必信靠你,
因為你從來不丟棄尋求你的人。
11 要歌頌住在錫安的耶和華,
在列邦傳揚祂的作為。
12 祂追討血債,顧念受害者,
不忘傾聽受苦者的呼求。
13 耶和華啊,
看看仇敵對我的迫害!
求你憐憫我,
救我離開死亡之門,
14 我好在錫安的城門口稱頌你,
因你的拯救而歡樂。
15 列邦挖了陷阱卻自陷其中,
設下網羅卻纏住自己的腳。
16 耶和華彰顯了自己的公義,
使惡人自食其果。(細拉)
17 惡人必下陰間,這是所有忘記上帝之人的結局。
18 貧乏人不會永遠被遺忘,
受苦人的希望也不會一直落空。
19 耶和華啊,求你起來,
別讓人向你誇勝,
願你審判列邦。
20 耶和華啊,
求你使列邦恐懼戰抖,
讓他們明白自己不過是人。(細拉)

(9:4) Mes ennemis reculent, Ils chancellent, ils périssent devant ta face.

(9:5) Car tu soutiens mon droit et ma cause, Tu sièges sur ton trône en juste juge.

(9:6) Tu châties les nations, tu détruis le méchant, Tu effaces leur nom pour toujours et à perpétuité.

(9:7) Plus d'ennemis! Des ruines éternelles! Des villes que tu as renversées! Leur souvenir est anéanti.

Psalm 9[a][b]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.(B)
I will be glad and rejoice(C) in you;
    I will sing the praises(D) of your name,(E) O Most High.

My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
For you have upheld my right(F) and my cause,(G)
    sitting enthroned(H) as the righteous judge.(I)
You have rebuked the nations(J) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name(K) for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;(L)
    even the memory of them(M) has perished.

The Lord reigns forever;(N)
    he has established his throne(O) for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness(P)
    and judges the peoples with equity.(Q)
The Lord is a refuge(R) for the oppressed,(S)
    a stronghold in times of trouble.(T)
10 Those who know your name(U) trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken(V) those who seek you.(W)

11 Sing the praises(X) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(Y)
    proclaim among the nations(Z) what he has done.(AA)
12 For he who avenges blood(AB) remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(AC)

13 Lord, see how my enemies(AD) persecute me!
    Have mercy(AE) and lift me up from the gates of death,(AF)
14 that I may declare your praises(AG)
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,(AH)
    and there rejoice in your salvation.(AI)

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(AJ)
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(AK)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(AM)
    all the nations that forget God.(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope(AO) of the afflicted(AP) will never perish.

19 Arise,(AQ) Lord, do not let mortals triumph;(AR)
    let the nations be judged(AS) in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror,(AT) Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.(AU)

  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.
