Psalms 9

To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

1 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.*9.4 maintained…: Heb. made my judgment*9.4 judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness

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.*9.6 O thou…: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc

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.*9.9 a refuge: Heb. an high place

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.*9.12 humble: or, afflicted

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.*9.16 Higgaion: that is, Meditation

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

18 For the needy shall not alway 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.

称颂 神公义的审判

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，调用"慕拉宾"。 1 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
