Psalms 1 1 For the leader; according to＂The Lily of....＂ A miktam of David (for teaching), 达味金诗，交与乐官，调寄＂见证的百合＂，背唱。 2 when he fought against Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah; and Joab, coming back, killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 作于他和两河间的阿兰及阿兰祚巴交战时。那时约阿布归来，在盐谷杀了一万二千人。 3 O God, you rejected us, broke our defenses; you were angry but now revive us. 天主，你抛弃了我们，粉碎了我们！你曾发怒，今求你复兴我们。 4 You rocked the earth, split it open; repair the cracks for it totters. 你曾使大地震动，使地裂土崩，求你弥补裂缝，因它摇摇不定。 5 You made your people go through hardship, made us stagger from the wine you gave us. 你使你的百姓遭受艰苦，使我们喝了麻醉的烈酒。 6 Raise up a flag for those who revere you, a refuge for them out of bow shot. Selah 然后你为敬畏你的人，竖起旗帜，为使他们闪避仇敌的弓矢； 7 2 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape. 8 3 In the sanctuary God promised:＂I will exult, will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out. 天主在自己的圣所说：＂我要凯旋，将舍根分疆，将稣苛特的平原测量。 9 4 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter. 10 5 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal. I will triumph over Philistia.＂ 摩阿布是我的沐浴池，我向厄东投我的鞋只，我还要战胜培肋舍特。＂ 11 6 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom? 谁引领我进入坚城，谁领导我走进厄东？ 12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies? 天主，莫非你已将我们抛弃，天主从今不再领我军出击？ 13 Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help. 求你援助我们抵抗仇敌，因为人的援助尽是虚无。 14 We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes. 我们倚靠天主奋勇行事，他必要践踏我们的仇敌。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 60] The community complains that God has let the enemy win the battle (Psalm 60:3-5) and asks for an assurance of victory (Psalm 60:6-7). In the oracle God affirms ownership of the land; the invasion of other nations is not permanent and will be reversed ultimately (Psalm 60:8-10). With renewed confidence, the community resolves to fight again (Psalm 60:11). The opening lament is picked up again (Psalm 60:12), but this time with new awareness of God's power and human limitation. 2 [7-12] These verses occur again as the second half of Psalm 108. 3 [8] I will apportion . . . measure out: God lays claim to these places. The valley of Succoth: probably the lower stretch of the Jabbok valley. 4 [9] Judah, my own scepter: an allusion to the Testament of Jacob, Genesis 49:10. 5 [10] Moab is my washbowl: Moab borders the Dead Sea, hence a metaphor for the country. Upon Edom I cast my sandal: an ancient legal gesture of taking possession of land. 6 [11] The fortified city: perhaps Bozrah, the fortified capital of Edom. Cf Isaiah 34:6; 63:1; Amos 1:12. |
