Psalms 1 1 The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad. 上主为王!愿大地踊跃,无数岛屿,也都要欢乐! 2 Cloud and darkness surround the Lord; justice and right are the foundation of his throne. 云彩和黑暗将他团团包围,正义与公道支持他的座位。 3 Fire goes before him; everywhere it consumes the foes. 4 Lightning illumines the world; the earth sees and trembles. 5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens proclaim God's justice; all peoples see his glory. 7 2 All who serve idols are put to shame, who glory in worthless things; all gods bow down before you. 8 Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, O LORD. 9 You, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth, exalted far above all gods. 10 The LORD loves those who hate evil, protects the lives of the faithful, rescues them from the hand of the wicked. 上主喜爱那恼恨罪恶的人,保护虔诚人们的生命,从恶人手中拯救他们。 11 Light dawns for the just; gladness, for the honest of heart. 光明已升起照耀着义人,赐喜乐于心地正直的人。 12 Rejoice in the LORD, you just, and praise his holy name. 义人们,请因上主而欢欣,并请你们赞美他的圣名。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 97] The hymn begins with God appearing in a storm, a traditional picture of some ancient Near Eastern gods (Psalm 97:1-6); cf Psalm 18:8-16; Micah 1:3-4; Hebrews 3:3-15. Israel rejoices in the overthrowing of idol worshipers and their gods (Psalm 97:7-9) and the rewarding of the faithful righteous (Psalm 97:10-12). 2 [7] All gods: divine beings thoroughly subordinate to Israel's God. The Greek translates "angels," an interpretation adopted by Hebrews 1:6. |
