Psalms 1 1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David, 2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul,"David is hiding among us." 作于齐弗人来对撒乌耳说:"看,达味藏在我们这里"时。 3 2 O God, by your name save me. By your strength defend my cause. 天主,求你因你的名赐我救援,求你并以你的权能为我伸冤。 4 O God, hear my prayer. Listen to the words of my mouth. 天主,求你俯听我的祈求,侧耳倾听我的投诉。 5 The arrogant have risen against me; the ruthless seek my life; they do not keep God before them. Selah 因为傲慢的人们起来向我进攻,蛮横的人想谋害我的生命,他们没有把天主放在眼中。 6 God is present as my helper; the Lord sustains my life. 请看,天主必定给我助阵,上主必扶持我生命。 7 Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them. 求你使灾祸报应在我的仇敌身上,求你凭你的忠诚将他们消除灭亡。 8 Then I will offer you generous sacrifice and praise your gracious name, LORD, 我要自愿地向你奉上祭献,上主,我要对你的美名称赞。 9 Because it has rescued me from every trouble, and my eyes look down on my foes. 因为你救我脱离了一切灾难,使我亲眼看见我的仇敌溃散。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 54] A lament in which the person under attack calls directly upon God for help (Psalm 54:3-5). Refusing to despair, the psalmist hopes in God, who is active in history and just (Psalm 54:6-7). The psalm ends with a serene promise to return thanks (Psalm 54:7[8-9]). 2 [3] By your name: one is present in one's name, hence God as revealed to humans. |
