Psalms 1 1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 达味诗歌,作于飘流在犹大旷野时。 2 O God, you are my God-- for you I long! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, Like a land parched, lifeless, and without water. 天主,你是我的天主,我急切寻觅你;我的灵魂渴慕你,我的肉身切望你,恰有如一块干旱涸竭的无水田地。 3 So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory. 昔日我曾在圣所里瞻仰过你,为看到你的威能,和你的光辉; 4 2 For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship! 5 I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name. 我要一生一世赞美你,我要因你名双手并举! 6 My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you! 我的灵魂好似饱享了膏脂,我要以欢愉的口唇赞美你。 7 When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall 8 That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. 因为你曾作了我的助佑,我要在你的羽翼下欢舞。 9 My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me. 我的灵魂紧紧追随你,你的右手常常扶持我。 10 But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth! 那些谋图陷害我命的人,必将坠落在地下的深层; 11 They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals! 他们必为刀剑所杀死,也必然为野犬所分食。 12 3 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut! 但是君王必要因天主而喜庆;凡以天主宣誓的人,必要自幸,因为说谎的口,必要黯哑失声。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 63] A psalm expressing the intimate relationship between God and the worshiper. Separated from God (Psalm 63:2), the psalmist longs for the divine life given in the temple (Psalm 63:3-6), which is based on a close relationship with God (Psalm 63:7-9). May all my enemies be destroyed and God's true worshipers continue in giving praise (Psalm 63:10-11)! 2 [4] For your love is better than life: only here in the Old Testament is anything prized above life--in this case God's love. 3 [12] All who swear by the Lord: to swear by a particular god meant that one was a worshiper of that god (Isaiah 45:23; 48:1; Zephaniah 1:5). |
