Psalms 1 1 For the leader. A psalm of David. 达味诗歌，交与乐官。 2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder's craft. 高天陈述天主的光荣，穹苍宣扬他手的化工； 3 One day to the next conveys that message; one night to the next imparts that knowledge. 日与日侃侃而谈，夜与夜知识相传。 4 2 There is no word or sound; no voice is heard; 不是语，也不是言，是听不到的语言； 5 3 Yet their report goes forth through all the earth, their message, to the ends of the world. God has pitched there a tent for the sun; 它们的声音传遍普世，它们的言语达于地极。天主在天为太阳设置了帷帐， 6 it comes forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, and like an athlete joyfully runs its course. 它活象新郎一样走出了洞房，又象壮士一样欣然就道奔放。 7 From one end of the heavens it comes forth; its course runs through to the other; nothing escapes its heat. 由天这边出现，往天那边旋转，没有一物可以避免它的热焰。 8 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The decree of the LORD is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple. 上主的法律是完善的，能畅快人灵；上主的约章是忠诚的，能开启愚蒙； 9 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eye. 上主的规诫是正直的，能悦乐心情；上主的命令是光明的，能烛照眼睛； 10 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the LORD are true, all of them just; 上主的训诲是纯洁的，永远常存；上主的判断是真实的，无不公允； 11 More desirable than gold, than a hoard of purest gold, Sweeter also than honey or drippings from the comb. 比黄金，比极纯的黄金更可爱恋；比蜂蜜，比蜂巢的流汁更要甘甜。 12 4 By them your servant is instructed; obeying them brings much reward. 你仆人虽留心这一切，竭尽全力遵守这一切， 13 Who can detect heedless failings? Cleanse me from my unknown faults. 但谁能认出自已的一切过犯？求你赦免我未觉察到的罪愆。 14 But from willful sins keep your servant; let them never control me. Then shall I be blameless, innocent of grave sin. 更求你使你仆人免于自负，求你不要让骄傲把我占有；如此我将成为完人，重大罪恶免污我身。 15 Let the words of my mouth meet with your favor, keep the thoughts of my heart before you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer. 上主，我的磐石，我的救主！愿我口中的话，并愿我心中的思虑，常在你前蒙受悦纳！ Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 19] The heavenly elements of the world, now beautifully arranged, bespeak the power and wisdom of their creator (Psalm 19:2-7). The creator's wisdom is available to human beings in the law (Psalm 19:8-11), toward which the psalmist prays to be open (Psalm 19:12-14). The themes of light and speech unify the poem. 2 [4] No word or sound: the regular functioning of the heavens and the alternation of day and night inform humans without words of the creator's power and wisdom. 3 [5] The sun: in other religious literature the sun is a judge and lawgiver since it sees all in its daily course; Psalm 19:5b-7 form a transition to the law in Psalm 19:8-11. The six synonyms for God's revelation (Psalm 19:8-11) are applied to the sun in comparable literature. 4 [12] Instructed: the Hebrew verb means both to shine and to teach. Cf Daniel 12:3. |
