Psalms 1 1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." A psalm of the Korahites. 科辣黑子孙的诗歌,交于乐官。调寄"加特"。 2 How lovely your dwelling, O LORD of hosts! 万军的上主,你的居所是多么可爱! 3 My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the LORD. My heart and flesh cry out for the living God. 我的灵魂对上主的宫庭渴慕及缅怀。我的心灵以及我的肉身,向生活的天主踊跃欢欣。 4 2 As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, My home is by your altars, LORD of hosts, my king and my God! 万军的上主,我的君王,我的天主,麻雀靠近你的祭坛找到了住所,燕子也找到了安置幼雏的窝巢。 5 Happy are those who dwell in your house! They never cease to praise you. Selah 上主,居住在你的殿宇,常赞美你的,真是有福! 6 Happy are those who find refuge in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrim roads. 那以你作为自己的助佑,居心朝圣的人,真是有福! 7 3 As they pass through the Baca valley, they find spring water to drink. Also from pools the Lord provides water for those who lose their way. 他们把他们经过的干谷变为水泉,并以初雨给干谷披上祝福的衣衫。 8 They pass through outer and inner wall and see the God of gods on Zion. 他们的体力越行越有,到熙雍觐见至高天主。 9 LORD of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah 万军的上主,求你允我的恳请,雅各伯的天主,求你侧耳倾听! 10 4 O God, look kindly on our shield; look upon the face of your anointed. 天主,我们的护盾,求你目睹,请对你的受傅者予以回顾。 11 Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked. 的确在你宫庭逗留一日,远胜过在别处逗留千日。我宁愿站在我天主殿宇的门限,我不愿逗留在恶人帐幕的里面, 12 For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach. 因为上主天主是太阳,是护盾。上主常广施恩爱和光荣;他对行为正直纯洁的人,从来不会拒绝赐福赐幸。 13 O LORD of hosts, happy are those who trust in you! 万军的上主,依赖你的,那人才算是真有福的。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 84] Israelites celebrated three pilgrimage feasts in Jerusalem annually. The psalm expresses the sentiments of the pilgrims eager to enjoy the divine presence. 2 [4] The desire of a restless bird for a secure home is an image of the desire of a pilgrim for the secure house of God. Cf Psalm 42:2-3, where the image for the desire of the pilgrim is the thirst of the deer for water. 3 [7] Baca valley: Hebrew obscure; probably a valley on the way to Jerusalem. 4 [10] Our shield . . . your anointed: the king had a role in the liturgical celebration. For the king as shield, cf Psalm 89:19. |
