 Psalms 1 Of David. 1 Grant me justice, LORD! I have walked without blame. In the LORD I have trusted; I have not faltered.  达味作。上主,求你替我主持正义,因我行动无辜,我曾毫不犹豫地全心依赖了上主。  2 Test me, LORD, and try me; search my heart and mind.  上主,你尽管对我试验,对我查考,你尽管对我的五内和心脏探讨;  3 Your love is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.  原来你的慈爱常摆在我眼前,我常遵照你的真理行走盘桓。  4 I do not sit with deceivers, nor with hypocrites do I mingle.  我决不与虚伪的人同坐,也决不与欺诈的人合作;  5 I hate the company of evildoers; with the wicked I do not sit.  我常痛恨败类的集会,我也决不与恶人同席。  6 2 I will wash my hands in innocence and walk round your altar, LORD,  上主我要洗手表明无罪,我环游在你的祭坛周围,  7 Lifting my voice in thanks, recounting all your wondrous deeds.  为能高声向你称扬赞颂,传述你的一切奇妙化工。  8 LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the tenting-place of your glory.  上主,我喜爱你所住的殿堂,就是你那荣耀寄居的地方。  9 Do not take me away with sinners, nor my life with the violent.  求你不要把我的灵魂,和罪人们一起收去;求你不要把我的生命,与流血者一起铲除。  10 Their hands carry out their schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.  因为他们的手中尽是罪污,他们的右手满是贿赂;  11 But I walk without blame; redeem me, be gracious to me!  我却一向行动无辜,求你救我,求你怜恤。 12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD . Footnotes(注解)
1 [Psalm 26] Like a priest washing before approaching the altar (Exodus 30:17-21), the psalmist seeks God's protection upon entering the temple. Psalm 26:1-3, matched by Psalm 26:11-12, remind God of past integrity while asking for purification; Psalm 26:4-5, matched by Psalm 26:9-10, pray for inclusion among the just; Psalm 26:6-8, the center of the poem, express the joy in God at the heart of all ritual.  2 [6] I will wash my hands: the washing of hands was a liturgical act (Exodus 30:19, 21; 40:31-32), symbolic of inner as well as outer cleanness. Cf Isaiah 1:16.  |
