Psalms 1 1 A psalm of David. 2 The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. 达味诗歌。上主是我的牧者，我实在一无所缺。 他使我卧在青绿的草场，又领我走进幽静的水旁， 3 3 you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name. 还使我的心灵得到舒畅。他为了自己名号的原由，领我踏上了正义的坦途。 4 4 Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage. 纵使我应走过阴森的幽谷，我不怕凶险，因你与我同在。你的牧杖和短棒，是我的安慰舒畅。 5 5 You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 在我对头面前，你为我摆设了筵席；在我的头上傅油，使我的杯爵满溢。 6 6 Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come. 在我一生岁月里，幸福与慈爱常随不离：我将住在上主的殿里，直至悠远的时日。 Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 23] God's loving care for the psalmist is portrayed under the figures of a shepherd for the flock (Psalm 23:1-4) and a host's generosity toward a guest (Psalm 23:5-6). The imagery of both sections is drawn from traditions of the exodus (Isaiah 40:11; 49:10; Jeremiah 31:10). 2 [1] My shepherd: God as good shepherd is common in both the Old Testament and the New Testament (Ezekiel 34:11-16; John 10:11-18). 3 [3] The right path: connotes "right way" and "way of righteousness." 4 [4] A dark valley: a different division of the Hebrew consonants yields the translation "the valley of the shadow of death." 5 [5] You set a table before me: this expression occurs in an exodus context in Psalm 78:19. As my enemies watch: my enemies see that I am God's friend and guest. Oil: a perfumed ointment made from olive oil, used especially at banquets (Psalm 104:15; Matthew 26:7; Luke 7:37, 46; John 12:2). 6 [6] Goodness and love: the blessings of God's covenant with Israel. |
