Psalms 1 1 2 A song of ascents. Of David. How good it is, how pleasant, where the people dwell as one! 登圣殿歌，达味作。看，兄弟们同居共处，多么快乐，多么幸福！ 2 3 Like precious ointment on the head, running down upon the beard, Upon the beard of Aaron, upon the collar of his robe. 象亚郎头上珍贵的油，流到他胡须上，又由他胡须上，流到他衣领上。 3 4 Like dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion. There the LORD has lavished blessings, life for evermore! 又象赫尔孟的甘露，时常落在熙雍山；因上主在那里赐福，赐生命直到永远。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 133] A benediction over a peaceful community, most probably the people Israel, but appropriate too for Israelite families (Psalm 133:1). The history of Israel, whether of its ancestors in the book of Genesis or of later periods, was a history of distinct groups struggling to live in unity. Here that unity is declared blessed, like the holy oils upon the priest Aaron or the dew of the rainless summer that waters the crops (Psalm 133:2-3). 2 [1] The people: literally, "brothers," i.e., male and female members of a kin group or people--most probably, the people Israel. 3 [2] Ointment: oil was used at the consecration of the high priest (Exodus 30:22-33). 4 [3] Dew: dew was an important source of moisture in the dry climate (Genesis 27:28; Hosea 14:6). Hermon: the majestic snow-capped mountain visible in the north of Palestine. |
