Psalms 1 1 For the leader. A psalm of David. 达味诗歌，交与乐官。 2 2 Happy those concerned for the lowly and poor; when misfortune strikes, the LORD delivers them. 眷顾贫穷人的人，真是有福，患难时日，他必蒙上主救助。 3 The LORD keeps and preserves them, makes them happy in the land, and does not betray them to their enemies. 上主必保护他，赐他生存，在世上蒙福，决不将他交给他的仇敌而任敌所欲。 4 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed, allays the malady when they are ill. 他呻吟床榻，上主给他支援，他患病时，使他转危为安。 5 Once I prayed, ＂LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, I have sinned against you. 我曾哀求你：＂上主，求你怜悯我，求你治愈我，因为我得罪了你。＂ 6 My enemies say the worst of me: ‘When will that one die and be forgotten?' 我的仇敌反而恶言辱骂我说：＂他何时死，他的名字几时泯灭？＂ 7 When people come to visit me, they speak without sincerity. Their hearts store up malice; they leave and spread their vicious lies. 前来探访我的人，只以虚言相待，其实是心怀恶意，出去便说出来。 8 My foes all whisper against me; they imagine the worst about me: 恨我的人，个个窃窃私议，咒我遭殃生疾： 9 I have a deadly disease, they say; I will never rise from my sickbed. ＂愿他身患恶疾！愿他一病不起！＂ 10 3 Even the friend who had my trust, who shared my table, has scorned me. 连我素来信赖的知心友好，吃过我饭的人，也举脚踢我。 11 4 But you, LORD, have mercy and raise me up that I may repay them as they deserve.＂ 上主，求你可怜我，使我病除，使我能对他们给以报复。 12 By this I know you are pleased with me, that my enemy no longer jeers at me. 我以此作为你真爱我的记号：就是不让我的敌人向我夸耀； 13 For my integrity you have supported me and let me stand in your presence forever. 你时常保持我无灾无难，使我永远站在你的面前。 14 5 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from all eternity and forever. Amen. Amen. 愿上主，以色列天主，受赞颂，自永远直到永远，阿们，阿们！ Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 41] A thanksgiving for rescue from illness (Psalm 41:4, 5, 9). Many people, even friends, have interpreted the illness as a divine punishment for sin and have ostracized the psalmist (Psalm 41:5-11). The healing shows the return of God's favor and rebukes the psalmist's detractors (Psalm 41:12-13). 2 [2] Happy those concerned for the lowly and poor: other psalms use the same formula (＂Happy those＂) for those whom God favors. Cf Psalm 32:1-2; 34:9; 40:5; 65:5. The psalmist's statement about God's love of the poor is based on the experience of being rescued (Psalm 41:1-3). 3 [10] Even the friend . . . has scorned me: John 13:18 cites this verse to characterize Judas as a false friend. Scorned me: an interpretation of the unclear Hebrew, ＂made great the heel against me.＂ 4 [11] That I may repay them as they deserve: the healing itself is an act of judgment through which God decides for the psalmist and against the false friends. The prayer is not necessarily for strength to punish enemies. 5 [14] The doxology, not part of the psalm, marks the end of the first of the five books of the Psalter. Compare Psalm 72:18-20; 89:53; 106:48. |
