Psalms 1 Hallelujah! 1 Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 上主的仆人,请一齐赞颂,请一齐赞颂上主的圣名! 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forever. 3 From the rising of the sun to its setting let the name of the LORD be praised. 从太阳东升直到西倾,愿上主的圣名受赞颂! 4 High above all nations is the LORD; above the heavens God's glory. 上主高越列国万邦,他的光荣凌驾穹苍; 5 Who is like the LORD, our God enthroned on high, 谁能相似上主我们的天主?他坐在苍天之上的最高处。 6 looking down on heaven and earth? 7 The LORD raises the needy from the dust, lifts the poor from the ash heap, 从尘埃里提拔弱小的人,由粪土中举扬穷苦的人, 8 Seats them with princes, the princes of the people, 叫他与贵族的人共席,与本国的王侯同位; 9 Gives the childless wife a home, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah! 使那不孕的妇女坐镇家中,成为多子的母亲,快乐无穷。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 113] A hymn exhorting the congregation to praise God's name, i.e., the way in which God is present in the world; the name is mentioned three times in Psalm 113:1-3. The divine name is especially honored in the temple (Psalm 113:1) but its recognition is not limited by time (Psalm 113:2) and space (Psalm 113:3), for God is everywhere active (Psalm 113:4-5) especially in rescuing the lowly faithful (Psalm 113:7-9). |
