Psalms 1 1 A psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S and all it holds, the world and those who live there. 达味诗歌。大地和其中的万物，属于上主，世界和其间的居民，属于上主。 2 For God founded it on the seas, established it over the rivers. 是他在海洋上奠定了大地，是他在江河上建立了全世。 3 Who may go up the mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place? 谁能登上上主的圣山？谁能居留在他的圣殿？ 4 2 "The clean of hand and pure of heart, who are not devoted to idols, who have not sworn falsely. 是那手洁心清，不慕虚幻的人，是那不发假誓，不行欺骗的人。 5 They will receive blessings from the LORD, and justice from their saving God. 他必获得上主的降福；和拯救者天主的报酬。 6 Such are the people that love the LORD, that seek the face of the God of Jacob." Selah 这样的人是寻求上主的苗裔，追求雅各伯天主仪容的子息。 7 3 Lift up your heads, O gates; rise up, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter. 城门，请提高你们的门楣，古老的门户，请加高门扉，因为要欢迎光荣的君王。 8 Who is this king of glory? The LORD, a mighty warrior, the LORD, mighty in battle. 谁是这位光荣的君主？就是英勇大能的上主，是那有力作战的天主。 9 Lift up your heads, O gates; rise up, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter. 城门，请提高你们的门楣，古老的门户，请加高门扉，因为要欢迎光荣的君王， 10 Who is this king of glory? The LORD of hosts is the king of glory. Selah 谁是这位光荣的君主？其实这位光荣的君主，就是万军之军的上主。 Footnotes
1 [Psalm 24] The psalm apparently accompanied a ceremony of the entry of God (invisibly enthroned upon the ark), followed by the people, into the temple. The temple commemorated the creation of the world (Psalm 24:1-2). The people had to affirm their fidelity before being admitted into the sanctuary (Psalm 24:3-6; cf Psalm 15). A choir identifies the approaching God and invites the very temple gates to bow down in obeisance (Psalm 24:7-10). 2 [4-5] Literally, "the one whose hands are clean." The singular is used for the entire class of worshipers, hence the plural translation. 3 [7, 9] Lift up your heads, O gates . . . you ancient portals: the literal meaning is impossible since the portcullis (a gate that moves up and down) was unknown in the ancient world. Extra-biblical parallels suggest a full personification of the circle of gate towers: they are like a council of elders, bowed down and anxious, awaiting the return of the army and the Great Warrior gone to battle.
