Psalms 1 1 2 For the director. Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave. 达味金诗,交与乐官,作于逃入洞中躲避撒乌耳时。调寄“莫要毁坏”。 2 Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me. In you I seek shelter. In the shadow of your wings 3 I seek shelter till harm pass by. 求你怜悯我,天主,求你怜悯我,因为我的灵魂,一心向你投靠,投靠到你翅翼的荫庇下,等待一切凶祸过去才罢。 3 I call to God Most High, to God who provides for me. 我向至高者天主呼救,呼救施惠于我的天主; 4 May God send help from heaven to save me, shame those who trample upon me. May God send fidelity and love. Selah 愿天主自天赐下慈爱,并赐下忠实,拯救我,却对追赶我的人加以凌辱。 5 I must lie down in the midst of lions hungry for human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows; their tongue, a sharpened sword. 我躺卧在群狮的中间,个个都想把人子吞咽;他们的牙齿是长矛锐箭,他们的舌头是锋刀利剑。 6 Show yourself over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth. 7 They have set a trap for my feet; my soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me. May they fall into it themselves! Selah 他们为我的脚设下了罗网,要我的性命;在我前面挖掘了陷阱,自己反跌入其中。 8 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise. 天主,我的心已准备妥当,我的心已准备妥当,我愿意去歌弹咏唱。 9 4 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn. 我的灵魂,你要醒起来,七弦和竖琴,要奏起来,我还要把曙光唤起来。 10 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord; I will chant your praise among the nations. 上主,我要在万民中赞美你,上主我要在列邦中歌颂你。 11 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies. 因为你的大爱高越诸天,你的忠信直达宵汉。 12 Show yourself over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth. 天主,愿你在天上备受举扬,愿你在地上彰显荣光! Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 57] Each of the two equal strophes contains a prayer for rescue from enemies, accompanied by joyful trust in God (Psalm 57:2-5, 7-11). The refrain prays that God be manifested as saving (Psalm 57:6, 11[12]). Psalm 108 is nearly identical to part of this psalm (Psalm 57:8-11 = Psalm 108:2-6). 2 [1] Do not destroy: probably the title of the melody to which the psalm was to be sung. 3 [2] The shadow of your wings: probably refers to the wings of the cherubim (powerful winged animals) whose wings spread over the ark in the inner chamber of the temple (1 Kings 6:23-28). 4 [9] I will wake the dawn: by a bold figure the psalmist imagines the sound of music and singing will waken a new day. |
