Psalm 9
Lexham English Bible
Praise for Yahweh’s Justice
For the music director, according to Muth-labben.[a] A psalm of David.[b]
9 I will thank Yahweh with all my heart.
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing the praise of your name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back,
they will stumble and perish because of your presence.
4 For you have maintained my just cause;
you have sat on the throne judging correctly.
5 You have rebuked the nations;
you have destroyed the wicked.
Their name you have blotted out
forever and ever.
6 The enemies are destroyed in ruins forever,
and you have uprooted their cities;
their very memory has perished.
7 But Yahweh sits enthroned forever.
He has established his throne for judgment.
8 And he will judge the world with righteousness.
He will judge the peoples with equity.
9 And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of distress.
10 And those who know your name will trust in you,
for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh who sits enthroned[c] in Zion.
Tell his deeds among the peoples,
12 for he who avenges bloodshed[d] remembers them.
He does not forget the distressed cry of the afflicted.
13 Be gracious to me, O Yahweh.
See my suffering from those who hate me,
you who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may tell of all your praises.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion
let me rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations have fallen in the pit that they made;
their foot is caught in the net that they hid.
16 Yahweh has made himself known;
he has executed judgment.
The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion[e] Selah
17 The wicked shall turn back to Sheol,
all the nations forgetting God,
18 for the needy shall not always be forgotten;
the hope of the poor shall never perish.
19 Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans[f] prevail;
let the nations be judged before you.
20 O Yahweh, put them in fear.
Let the nations know they are merely human. Selah

诗篇 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
称颂 神公义的审判
大卫的诗，交给诗班长，调用“慕拉宾”。
9 耶和华啊！我要全心称谢你，
我要述说你一切奇妙的作为。
2 我要因你快乐欢欣；
至高者啊！我要歌颂你的名。
3 我的仇敌转身退后的时候，
就在你的面前绊倒、灭亡。
4 因为你为我伸了冤，辨了屈；
你坐在宝座上，施行公义的审判。
5 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。
6 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。
7 耶和华却永远坐着为王，
为了施行审判，他已经设立宝座。
8 他必以公义审判世界，
按正直判断万民。
9 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
King James Version
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 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.

Dieu fait justice[a]
9 Un cantique de David dédié au chef de chœur, à chanter avec accompagnement de hautbois et de harpes.
2 Je te louerai, ╵ô Eternel, de tout mon cœur,
je veux raconter tes merveilles.
3 Par toi, j’exulte d’allégresse,
je te célèbre par des chants, ╵ô Dieu très-haut.
4 Mes ennemis prennent la fuite,
sous tes coups, ils vont trébucher ; ╵ils vont périr devant ta face.
5 Tu m’as rendu justice, ╵et tu as défendu mon droit,
quand tu as siégé sur ton trône ╵pour juger selon la justice.
6 Tu as menacé les peuples païens, ╵tu as fait périr le méchant,
et effacé son souvenir ╵pour toutes les générations.
7 Plus d’ennemis ! ╵Ils sont ruinés à tout jamais
car tu as renversé leurs villes,
le souvenir en est perdu.
8 L’Eternel siège pour toujours,
voici : il a dressé son trône ╵pour exercer ses jugements.
9 C’est lui qui gouverne le monde ╵avec droiture et équité,
qui prononce le jugement ╵avec justice sur les peuples.
10 Oui, l’Eternel est un refuge ╵pour ceux que l’on opprime,
un lieu fort en temps de détresse.
11 C’est pourquoi ceux qui te connaissent ╵ont placé leur confiance en toi.
Car toi, jamais, tu ne délaisses, ╵ô Eternel, ╵celui qui se tourne vers toi.
12 Célébrez par des chants ╵l’Eternel, qui siège en Sion,
et proclamez ╵parmi les peuples ses hauts faits.
13 Car il poursuit les meurtriers ╵et se souvient de leurs victimes ;
jamais il n’est indifférent ╵au cri des opprimés.
14 Eternel, aie pitié de moi !
Vois l’affliction où m’ont réduit ╵ceux qui me vouent leur haine !
C’est toi qui me fais remonter ╵des portes de la mort
15 pour que je publie tes louanges
aux portes[b] de ceux qui habitent ╵la ville de Sion
et que je sois dans l’allégresse ╵pour ton œuvre de délivrance.
16 Les peuples païens tombent dans la fosse ╵qu’ils avaient creusée de leurs mains,
leurs pieds se prennent dans le piège ╵qu’ils avaient tendu en cachette[c].
17 L’Eternel a montré ╵qui il était : ╵il fait justice,
et il prend le méchant ╵à son propre filet.
Jeu d’instruments[d] – Pause
18 Que les méchants ╵s’en aillent au séjour des morts :
tous les peuples païens ╵qui ne se soucient pas de Dieu.
19 Mais Dieu n’oublie pas à jamais les pauvres,
l’espoir des affligés ╵ne sera pas toujours déçu.
20 Eternel, lève-toi ! ╵Que l’homme ne triomphe pas !
Fais comparaître devant toi ╵les peuples païens pour qu’ils soient jugés.
21 Frappe-les de terreur, ╵ô Eternel,
et que ces peuples sachent ╵qu’ils ne sont que des hommes.
Footnotes
- 9 Il est possible que les Ps 9 et 10 aient constitué, à l’origine, un psaume unique. Ils forment ensemble un poème alphabétique (dont les strophes ou les vers débutent par les lettres successives de l’alphabet hébreu) et un seul psaume dans la version grecque. Les autres psaumes alphabétiques sont les Ps 25, 34, 111, 112, 119 et 145.
- 9.15 En Orient, les places publiques où l’on se retrouvait, où l’on convoquait les habitants pour toutes les assemblées importantes, se trouvaient près des portes de la ville.
- 9.16 Voir 7.16-17.
- 9.17 Traduction incertaine : jeu d’instruments, interlude, en sourdine, méditation. Il s’agit sans doute d’un arrêt plus important que celui marqué par la Pause. Le terme est utilisé en 92.4 en liaison avec les sons de la harpe ; c’est pourquoi on pense qu’il s’agissait d’une notation appelant un jeu instrumental.
