Psalms 1 1 A psalm of David. 2 Give to the LORD, you heavenly beings, give to the LORD glory and might; 2 Give to the LORD the glory due God's name. Bow down before the LORD'S holy splendor! 请将主名的荣耀，归于上主，穿上圣洁的华服，朝拜上主。 3 3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over the mighty waters. 上主的声音响彻水面，天主雷鸣在显示庄严，上主临到澎湃的水面。 4 The voice of the LORD is power; the voice of the LORD is splendor. 上主的声音具有威权，上主的声音具有庄严。 5 The voice of the LORD cracks the cedars; the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon, 上主的声音劈断了香柏，上主折断了黎巴嫩香柏； 6 4 Makes Lebanon leap like a calf, and Sirion like a young bull. 使黎巴嫩象牛犊一样舞蹈，使息尔翁象小牛一样跳跃。 7 The voice of the LORD strikes with fiery flame; 上主的声音放射出火舌。 8 5 the voice of the LORD rocks the desert; the LORD rocks the desert of Kadesh. 上主的声音震动了旷野， 9 6 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. All in his palace say, "Glory!" 10 7 The LORD sits enthroned above the flood! The LORD reigns as king forever! 上主坐在洪水之上，上主永远高坐为王。 11 8 May the LORD give might to his people; may the LORD bless his people with peace! Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 29] The hymn invites the members of the heavenly court to acknowledge God's supremacy by ascribing glory and might to God alone (Psalm 29:1-2a, 9b). Divine glory and might are dramatically visible in the storm (Psalm 29:3-9a). The storm apparently comes from the Mediterranean onto the coast of Syria-Palestine and then moves inland. In Psalm 29:10 the divine beings acclaim God's eternal kingship. The psalm concludes with a prayer that God will impart the power just displayed to the Israelite king and through the king to Israel. 2 [1] You heavenly beings: literally "sons of God," i.e., members of the heavenly court who served Israel's God in a variety of capacities. 3 [3] The voice of the LORD: the sevenfold repetition of the phrase imitates the sound of crashing thunder and may allude to God's primordial slaying of Leviathan, the seven-headed sea monster of Canaanite mythology. 4 [6] Sirion: the Phoenician name for Mount Hermon. Cf Deut 3:9. 5 [8] The desert of Kadesh: probably north of Palestine in the neighborhood of Lebanon and Hermon. 6 [9b-10] Having witnessed God's supreme power (Psalm 29:3-9a), the gods acknowledge the glory that befits the king of the divine and human world. 7 [10] The flood: God defeated the primordial waters and made them part of the universe. Cf Psalm 89:10-13; 93:3-4. 8 [11] His people: God's people, Israel. |
