Psalms 1 1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. 达味诗歌，交与乐官。 2 2 To you we owe our hymn of praise, O God on Zion; To you our vows must be fulfilled, 天主，人应在熙雍山上歌咏赞美你，同时也应向你还愿，因你允我所祈。 3 3 you who hear our prayers. To you all flesh must come 4 with its burden of wicked deeds. We are overcome by our sins; only you can pardon them. 5 Happy the chosen ones you bring to dwell in your courts. May we be filled with the good things of your house, the blessings of your holy temple! 6 4 You answer us with awesome deeds of justice, O God our savior, The hope of all the ends of the earth and of far distant islands. 天主我们的救主你常照公义以奇事来俯听我们，世人在天涯地角与海洋的远处都对你全心信任。 7 You are robed in power, you set up the mountains by your might. 8 You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples. 你曾平息了澎湃的汪洋，咆哮的巨浪，万民的喧嚷： 9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels; east and west you make resound with joy. 10 5 6 You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile. God's stream is filled with water; with it you supply the world with grain. Thus do you prepare the earth: 你眷顾大地，普降甘霖，使大地丰收；天主的河水洋溢，为他们准备五谷。原来这一切都是由于你安排就绪。 11 you drench plowed furrows, and level their ridges. With showers you keep the ground soft, blessing its young sprouts. 12 7 You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths drip with fruitful rain. 你的慈惠使年岁丰收，你的脚步常滴流脂油。 13 The untilled meadows also drip; the hills are robed with joy. 旷野的牧场丰满外溢，漫山遍陵充满了欢喜； 14 The pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys blanketed with grain; they cheer and sing for joy. 羊群遮蔽了牧场，山谷盖满了食粮：一切在欢呼歌唱。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 65] The community, aware of its unworthiness (Psalm 65:3-4), gives thanks for divine bounty (Psalm 65:5), a bounty resulting from God's creation victory (Psalm 65:6-9). At God's touch the earth comes alive with vegetation and flocks (Psalm 65:10-13). 2 [2] Vows: the Israelites were accustomed to promising sacrifices in the temple if their prayers were heard. 3 [3] To you all flesh must come: all must have recourse to God's mercy. 4 [6] Awesome deeds: the acts of creating--installing mountains, taming seas, restraining nations (Psalm 65:7-8)--that are visible worldwide (Psalm 65:6, 9). 5 [9-13] Apparently a description of the agricultural year, beginning with the first fall rains that soften the hard sun-baked soil (Psalm 65:9-10). 6 [9] God's stream: the fertile waters of the earth derive from God's fertile waters in the heavenly world. 7 [12] Paths: probably the tracks of God's storm chariot dropping rain upon earth. |
