Psalms 2 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High, 3 To proclaim your love in the morning, your faithfulness in the night, 是清晨传扬你的仁慈,是夜间宣讲你的忠义, 4 With the ten-stringed harp, with melody upon the lyre. 5 For you make me jubilant, LORD, by your deeds; at the works of your hands I shout for joy. 6 How great are your works, LORD! How profound your purpose! 无理性的人,不会明白这事,愚昧的人,也不能领略这事。 8 Though the wicked flourish like grass and all sinners thrive, They are destined for eternal destruction; 9 for you, LORD, are forever on high. 上主,惟有你永远是至尊至高。 10 Indeed your enemies, LORD, indeed your enemies shall perish; all sinners shall be scattered. 11 You have given me the strength of a wild bull; you have poured rich oil upon me. 你高举我的角似野牛的角,用极新鲜的油膏傅抹了我, 12 My eyes look with glee on my wicked enemies; my ears delight in the fall of my foes. 因而我的眼目轻视我的仇人,我耳欢乐听见制服我的恶人。 13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree, shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon. 正义人象棕榈茂盛,似黎巴嫩的香柏高耸。 14 2 Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. 他们被栽植在上主的殿中,在我们天主的庭院里繁荣。 15 They shall bear fruit even in old age, always vigorous and sturdy, 虽已年老,仍然结果,枝叶繁盛,依旧绿茂; 16 As they proclaim: "The LORD is just; our rock, in whom there is no wrong." 为宣扬上主是多么正直:我的磐石,他丝毫没有不义。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 92] A hymn of praise and thanks for God's faithful deeds (Psalm 92:2-5). The wicked, deluded by their prosperity (Psalm 92:6-9), are punished (Psalm 92:10), whereas the psalmist has already experienced God's protection (Psalm 92:11-15). 2 [14] Planted: the just are likened to trees growing in the sacred precincts of the temple, which is often seen as the source of life and fertility because of God's presence. Cf Psalm 36:9, 10; Ezekiel 47:1-12. |
