9:1 (大衛的詩,交與伶長。調用慕拉便。)我要一心稱謝耶和華;我要傳揚你一切奇妙的作為。
9:2 我要因你歡喜快樂;至高者啊,我要歌頌你的名!
9:3 我的仇敵轉身退去的時候,他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。
9:4 因你已經為我伸冤,為我辨屈;你坐在寶座上,按公義審判。
9:5 你曾斥責外邦,你曾滅絕惡人;你曾塗抹他們的名,直到永永遠遠。
9:6 仇敵到了盡頭;他們被毀壞,直到永遠。你拆毀他們的城邑,連他們的名號都歸於無有。
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death
of the Son.” A psalm of David.
1 I
will give thanks to you, Lord,
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 praises of your name, O Most High.
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
3 My
enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,
sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.
they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,
sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.

當人受到無情的欺壓時,世人害怕強權,無人敢抵抗,似乎沒有盼望,罪惡好像得勝!其實不然,上帝都知道,祂必定成就拯救受欺壓者的事情,雖然人沒有馬上看見,但是上帝的確在行動!
惡者常常忘記上帝的存在,常常以為自己最偉大,當他越發自高自大的時候,甚至自以為他可以掌握一切的時候,就是敗壞的開始!任何敵對上帝的力量,都是暫時的,都無法長久!
所以上帝啟示使徒寫下:「這世界和其上的情慾都要過去,惟獨遵行上帝旨意的,是永遠常存。」(約翰一書2:17)
求主大大彰顯公義,將一切反對上帝,自尊自大的勢力全部消除,讓一切受壓迫的都稱上帝為大,榮耀歸給上帝!正如詩人在此所說!
