Psalms 1 1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the LORD. 上主的仆人达味作,交与乐官。 2 Sin directs the heart of the wicked; their eyes are closed to the fear of God. 恶人从心里就喜爱不义,他毫无敬畏天主的诚意。 3 2 For they live with the delusion: their guilt will not be known and hated. 他只是在自己的心里自慰:无人发现他的罪,无人惩治。 4 Empty and false are the words of their mouth; they have ceased to be wise and do good. 他满口尽是虚伪与诈欺,早已把智慧与善行抛弃。 他在床上筹划作恶,立于邪道,不怕罪过。 6 3 LORD, your love reaches to heaven; your fidelity, to the clouds. 上主,你的慈爱高达青天,你的忠义上彻云间。 7 Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; all living creatures you sustain, LORD. 你的正义有如摩天的高山,你的公平有如无底的深渊;上主,是你使人畜生命安全。 8 4 How precious is your love, O God! We take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 天主,你的慈爱多么可贵可珍,人子们都向你的护翼下投奔。 9 We feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give us drink. 他们不但饱尝你宫殿中的盛筵,你还赐他们畅饮你人怡乐的溪川。 10 For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light. 因为在你那里有生命的泉源,借你的光明才能把光明看见。 11 Continue your kindness toward your friends, your just defense of the honest heart. 求你为恭敬你的人保留恩宠,并为心地正直的人保持公平。 12 Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me, nor the hand of the wicked disturb me. 求你不要让高傲人的脚践踏我,求你不要让罪恶人的手骚扰我。 13 There make the evildoers fall; thrust them down, never to rise. 请看!作恶的人己经一败涂地,他们既已倾倒,无法重新兴起, Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 36] A psalm with elements of wisdom (Psalm 36:2-5), the hymn (Psalm 36:6-10), and the lament (Psalm 36:11-13). The rule of sin over the wicked (Psalm 36:2-5) is contrasted with the rule of divine love and mercy over God's friends (Psalm 36:6-10). The psalm ends with a prayer that God's guidance never cease (Psalm 36:11-12). 2 [3] Hated: punished by God. 3 [6-7] Love . . . judgments: God actively controls the entire world. 4 [8] The shadow of your wings: metaphor for divine protection. It probably refers to the winged cherubim in the holy of holies in the temple. Cf 1 Kings 6:23-28, 32; 2 Chron 3:10-13; Ezekiel 1:4-9. |
