Ps 9:1-20.
繁體中文
Original em inglês
Ps 9:1-20.
Upon Muthlabben, or, after the manner according to "death to the Son," by which some song was known, to whose air or melody the musician is directed to perform this Psalm. This mode of denoting a song by some prominent word or words is still common (compare
Ps 22:1).
The Psalmist praises God for deliverance from his enemies and celebrates the divine government, for providing security to God's people and punishment to the wicked. Thus encouraging himself, he prays for new occasions to recount God's mercies, and confident of His continued judgment on the wicked and vindication of the oppressed, he implores a prompt and efficient manifestation of the divine sovereignty.
1. Heartfelt gratitude will find utterance.

3-5. 當……退後的時候——這惟獨是神大能的結果。祂作為公義的審判者
（Ps 7:11），
為祂的百姓申冤。祂既以言語也以作為責備
（Ps 6:1; 18:15），
其功效足以滅絕列邦與個人的名號。
Original em inglês
3-5. When . . . are turned back--It is the result of God's power alone. He, as a righteous Judge
(Ps 7:11),
vindicates His people. He rebukes by acts as well as words
(Ps 6:1; 18:15),
and so effectually as to destroy the names of nations as well as persons.

13
Sem título
繁體中文
13. 門——或作「境界」。
死亡——門既是入口，故以之代指邊界。
Original em inglês
13. gates--or, "regions."
of death--Gates being the entrance is put for the bounds.
14
Sem título
繁體中文
14. 錫安的門——指城的圍欄（參
詩 48:12；賽 23:12），
或作教會——這詞與「死亡的門」相對，更帶出高舉與拯救之意。格外的恩惠當引我們獻上格外而公開的感謝。
Original em inglês
14. gates . . . Zion--The enclosure of the city (compare
Ps 48:12; Isa 23:12),
or, church, as denoted by this phrase contrasted with that of death, carries out the idea of exaltation as well as deliverance. Signal favors should lead us to render signal and public thanks.
15
Sem título
繁體中文
15, 16. 惡人謀算所生的非出本意之結果，證明這些謀算出於神的統治與安排——尤其當這些結果對惡人自身造成毀滅之時。
Original em inglês
15, 16. The undesigned results of the devices of the wicked prove them to be of God's overruling or ordering, especially when those results are destructive to the wicked themselves.
16
Sem título
繁體中文
16. 希迦庸——意為「默想」，與細拉相連，似乎指一種格外莊嚴而強調的停頓（參
詩 3:2）。
細拉雖出現七十三次，希迦庸卻僅此一見。此處所呈現的——以惡人所受報應為神智慧聖潔安排的一例——我們理當以敬畏的驚奇與信心停下默想。
Original em inglês
16. Higgaion--means "meditation," and, combined with Selah, seems to denote a pause of unusual solemnity and emphasis (compare
Ps 3:2).
Though Selah occurs seventy-three times, this is the only case in which Higgaion is found. In the view which is given here of the retribution on the wicked as an instance of God's wise and holy ordering, we may well pause in adoring wonder and faith.
17
Sem título
繁體中文
17. 都必歸回——或作「必退去」，在神的報應之下退卻，被祂驅趕到毀滅的極端，甚至陰間本身。那些忘記神的人被列為與敗壞和公開褻瀆者同類。
Original em inglês
17. shall be turned--or, "shall turn," retreating under God's vengeance, and driven by Him to the extreme of destruction, even hell itself. Those who forget God are classed with the depraved and openly profane.
18
Sem título
繁體中文
18. （參看 Ps 13:1-6。）
貧窮人——字面是「窮乏的」，即被剝奪了一切的人；因此是悲慘的。
窮苦人的指望——或作「溫柔的」、「謙卑的」，因受苦而如此。
Original em inglês
18. (Compare
Ps 13:1-6).
the needy--literally, "poor," as deprived of anything; hence miserable.
expectation of the poor--or, "meek," "humble," made so by affliction.

19. 興起——（參看 Ps 4:7。）
不容人——
（Ps 8:4。）
願……受審——當然也就是被定罪。

Ps 4:7).
let not man--
(Ps 8:4).
let . . . be judged--and of course condemned.

20. 藉著有效地制服他們，使他們認識自己脆弱的本性（Ps 8:4），並阻止他們一切的自負和未來的背叛。
Original em inglês
20. By their effectual subjection, make them to realize their frail nature
(Ps 8:4),
and deter them from all conceit and future rebellion.
Ps 9:1-20.
Muthlabben，或作照「交給兒子死」的方式，某首詩歌以此為名，樂師被指示依其曲調演奏本篇。這種以某個突出詞語來標示詩歌的方式至今仍常見（參
Ps 22:1）。
詩人為從仇敵手中得拯救而讚美神，並頌揚神的治理——為神的子民預備安全，向惡人施以刑罰。他如此激勵自己，祈求有新的機會複述神的憐憫，並因確信神必繼續審判惡人、為受壓者昭雪，而懇求神主權迅速而有效地彰顯。
1. 由衷的感恩必會發聲。
