Psalms 1 1 A psalm of David. LORD, I call to you; come quickly to help me; listen to my plea when I call. 达味的圣咏。上主,我呼求你,请求速来救助我,上主,我呼求你,请你听我的呼号。 2 2 Let my prayer be incense before you; my uplifted hands an evening sacrifice. 3 Set a guard, LORD, before my mouth, a gatekeeper at my lips. 4 Do not let my heart incline to evil, or yield to any sin. I will never feast upon the fine food of evildoers. 莫让我的心倾向邪道,免得我再去犯罪作恶;莫让我与恶人同做坏事,免得我尝食他们的美味。 5 3 Let the just strike me; that is kindness; let them rebuke me; that is oil for my head. All this I shall not refuse, but will pray despite these trials. 6 When their leaders are cast over the cliff, all will learn that my prayers were heard. 7 As when a farmer plows a field into broken clods, so their bones will be strewn at the mouth of Sheol. 8 My eyes are upon you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I take refuge; do not strip me of life. 9 Guard me from the trap they have set for me, from the snares of evildoers. 10 Into their own nets let all the wicked fall, while I make good my own escape. 愿恶人一起堕入自设的网罗,而我却得以安然无恙地逃脱。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 141] A lament of an individual (Psalm 141:1-2) who is keenly aware that only the righteous can worship God properly and who therefore prays to be protected from the doomed wicked (3-10). 2 [2] Incense: literally, "smoke," i.e., the fragrant fumes arising from the altar at the burning of sacrificial animals or of aromatic spices; also used in Rev 5:8 as a symbol of prayer. My uplifted hands: the gesture of supplication. Cf Psalm 28:2; 63:5; 88:10; 119:48; 134:2; 143:6. 3 [5-7] the Hebrew text is obscure. |
