Psalms 1 Grant me justice, God; defend me from a faithless people; from the deceitful and unjust rescue me. 天主,求你为我伸冤,驳斥残酷的人民,求你救我脱离欺诈和邪恶的人。 2 You, God, are my strength. Why then do you spurn me? Why must I go about mourning, with the enemy oppressing me? 天主,你既是我的勇力,你为什么驱逐我?为什么让我在仇人的压迫下,忧伤走过? 3 1 Send your light and fidelity, that they may be my guide And bring me to your holy mountain, to the place of your dwelling, 求你发出你的光明和你的真理:引导我,带我到你的圣山和居所。 4 That I may come to the altar of God, to God, my joy, my delight. Then I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God. 我就要走近天主的祭台前,走近我最喜悦的天主面前。天主,我主!我向你弹琴颂赞。 5 Why are you downcast, my soul? Why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God. 我的灵魂,你为何悲伤?为何忧苦?期望天主!因为我还要向他颂祝,因为他是我的救援,是我的天主。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [3] Your light and fidelity: a pair of divine attributes personified as guides for the pilgrimage.
