Psalms 1 1 A song of ascents. 2 I raise my eyes toward the mountains. From where will my help come? 登圣殿歌。我举我目向圣山瞻望，我的救助要来自何方。 2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. 3 God will not allow your foot to slip; your guardian does not sleep. 4 Truly, the guardian of Israel never slumbers nor sleeps. 看，那保护以色列者，不打盹也不会睡着。 5 3 The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade at your righthand. 6 By day the sun cannot harm you, nor the moon by night. 白天太阳必不伤你，黑夜月亮也不害你。 7 The LORD will guard you from all evil, will always guard your life. 上主保护你于任何灾患，上主保护你的心灵平安。 8 The LORD will guard your coming and going both now and forever. 上主保护你出外，保护你回来，从现在起一直到永远的时代。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 121] A blessing given to someone embarking on a dangerous journey whether a soldier going on a campaign or a pilgrim returning home from the temple. People look anxiously at the wooded hills. Will God protect them on their journey (Psalm 121:1)? The speaker declares that God is not confined to a place or a time (Psalm 121:2), that every step is guarded (3-4); night and day (Psalm 121:5-6) God watches over their every movement (Psalm 121:7-8). 2 [1] The mountains: possibly Mount Zion, the site of the temple and hence of safety, but more probably mountains as a place of dangers, causing anxiety to the psalmist. 3 [5-6] The image of shade, a symbol of protection, is apt: God as shade protects from the harmful effects that ancients believed were caused by the sun and moon. |
