Psalms 登圣殿歌。依赖上主的人有如熙雍山，屹立不动，必永远常存不变。 2 As mountains surround Jerusalem, the LORD surrounds his people both now and forever. 群山怎样环绕着耶路撒冷，上主也怎样保卫他的百姓，从现今开始，一直到永恒。 3 2 The scepter of the wicked will not prevail in the land given to the just, Lest the just themselves turn their hands to evil. 4 Do good, LORD, to the good, to those who are upright of heart. 上主，求你赐福与善良的人，又求你赐福与心地正直的人！ 5 But those who turn aside to crooked ways may the LORD send down with the wicked. Peace upon Israel! 那自甘堕落于自己邪恶的人们，上主必使他们与恶徒一起沉沦。唯愿以色列家族永享平静安宁。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 125] In response to exilic anxieties about the ancient promises of restoration, the psalm expresses confidence that God will surround the people as the mountains surround Zion (Psalm 125:1-2). The just will not be contaminated by the wicked (Psalm 125:3). May God judge between the two groups (Psalm 125:4-5). 2 [3] The land given to the just: literally, "the lot of the just." The promised land was divided among the tribes of Israel by lot (Numbers 26:55; Joshua 18). The just are the members of the people who are obedient to God. If the domination of the wicked were to continue in the land, even the just would be infected by their evil attitudes. |
