Psalms 1 1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people, 阿肋路亚。曾当以色列出离埃及，雅各伯家离开蛮夷时， 2 Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain. 犹大成了上主的圣所，以色列成了他的王国； 3 2 The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back. 海洋见了，顿时逃溜，约旦立即回转倒流。 4 The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock. 山岳跳跃象公羊，丘陵舞蹈似羔羊。 5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back? 6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock? 山岳，你们为什么跳跃象公羊？丘陵，你们为什么舞蹈似羔羊？ 7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob, 大地，你应该在上主的面前，在雅各伯的天主面前摇撼， 8 3 Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs. 他使磐石变为水潭，他使礁石变成水泉。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 114] A hymn celebrating Israel's escape from Egypt, journey through the wilderness, and entry into the promised land, and the miracles of nature that bore witness to God's presence in their midst. In the perspective of the psalm, the people proceed directly from Egypt into the promised land (Psalm 114:1-2). Sea and Jordan, which stood like soldiers barring the people from their land, flee before the mighty God as the earth recoils from the battle (Psalm 114:3-4). The poet taunts the natural elements as one taunts defeated enemies (Psalm 114:5-6). 2 [3-4] Pairs of cosmic elements such as sea and rivers, mountains and hills, are sometimes mentioned in creation accounts. Personified here as warriors, the pairs tremble in fear before the Divine Warrior. The quaking also recalls the divine appearance in the storm at Sinai (Exodus 19:16-19) and elsewhere (Judges 5:4-5; Psalm 18:7-15). 3 [8] The miracles of giving drink to the people in the arid desert. Cf Exodus 17:1-7; Isaiah 41:17-18. |
