Psalms 1 1 I love the LORD, who listened to my voice in supplication, 我对上主爱慕倾心，因他俯听我的祷声； 2 Who turned an ear to me on the day I called. 3 2 I was caught by the cords of death; the snares of Sheol had seized me; I felt agony and dread. 死亡的圈套缠住了我，阴府的罗网缚住了我，艰苦和烦恼困住了我， 4 Then I called on the name of the LORD, ＂O LORD, save my life!＂ 我呼求了上主的圣名，上主，求你救我的性命。 5 Gracious is the LORD and just; yes, our God is merciful. 上主富有怜悯和正义，我们的天主仁爱无比； 6 The LORD protects the simple; I was helpless, but God saved me. 7 Return, my soul, to your rest; the LORD has been good to you. 8 For my soul has been freed from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9 3 I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 我要在活人的地域，在上主的面前行走。 104 I kept faith, even when I said, ＂I am greatly afflicted!＂ 11 I said in my alarm, ＂No one can be trusted!＂ 12 How can I repay the LORD for all the good done for me? 我应该要怎样报谢上主，谢他赐给我的一切恩佑？ 13 5 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. 我要在众百姓面前，向上主还我的誓愿！ 15 6 Too costly in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful. 上主的圣者们的去世，在上主的眼中十分珍贵。 16 LORD, I am your servant, your servant, the child of your maidservant; you have loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. 18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, 要在上主圣殿的庭院，耶路撒冷！即在你中间。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 116] A thanksgiving in which the psalmist responds to divine rescue from mortal danger (Psalm 116:3-4) and from near despair (10-11) with vows and temple sacrifices (Psalm 116:13-14, 17-19). The Greek and Latin versions divide the psalm into two parts: Psalm 116:1-9 and 10-19, corresponding to its two major divisions. 2 [3] The cords of death: death is personified here; it attempts to capture the psalmist with snares and nets. Cf Psalm 18:6. 3 [9] The land of the living: the phrase elsewhere is an epithet of the Jerusalem Temple (cf Psalm 27:13; 52:5; Isaiah 38:11). Hence the psalmist probably refers to being present to God in the temple. 4 [10] I kept faith, even when I said: even in the days of despair, the psalmist did not lose all hope. 5 [13] The cup of salvation: probably the libation of wine poured out in gratitude for rescue. Cf Exodus 25:29; Numbers 15:5, 7, 10. 6 [15] Too costly in the eyes of the LORD: the meaning is that the death of God's faithful is grievous to God, not that God is pleased with the death. Cf Psalm 72:14. In Wisdom 3:5-6 God accepts the death of the righteous as a sacrificial burnt offering. |
