圣咏 Psalms Chapter 1
Psalms
Chapter 1

1 1 2 Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.

凡不随从恶人的计谋,不插足于罪人的道路,不参与讥讽者的席位,

2 3 Rather, the law of the LORD is their joy; God's law they study day and night.

而专心爱好上主法律的,和昼夜默思上主诫命的,象这样的人才是有福的!

3 They are like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers.

他象植在溪畔的树,准时结果,枝叶不枯,所作所为,随心所欲。

4 4 But not the wicked! They are like chaff driven by the wind.

恶人却不如此,绝不如此!他们象被风吹散的糠秕。

5 Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.

在审判的时日,恶人站立不住;在义人的会中,罪人不能立足:

6 The LORD watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

因上主赏识义人的行径,恶人的行径必自趋沉沦。

Footnotes(注解)

1 [Psalm 1] A preface to the whole Book of Psalms, contrasting with striking similes the destiny of the good and the wicked. The psalm views life as activity, as choosing either the good or the bad. Each "way" brings its inevitable consequences. The wise through their good actions will experience rootedness and life, and the wicked, rootlessness and death.

2 [1] Those: literally, "the man." That word is used here and in many of the Psalms as typical, and therefore is translated "they." The way: a common biblical term for manner of living or moral conduct (Psalm 32:8; 101:2, 6; Proverb 2:20; 1 Kings 8:36).

3 [2] The law of the LORD: either the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, or, more probably, divine teaching or instruction.

4 [4] The wicked: those who by their actions distance themselves from God's life-giving presence.
