诗篇 92
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
称颂 神的公正与慈爱
诗一首，安息日的歌。
92 称谢耶和华，
歌颂你至高者的名；
2 早晨传扬你的慈爱，
夜间传讲你的信实；
3 弹奏十弦的乐器和瑟，
又用琴弹出美妙的声音，
这是多么美的事（“这是多么美的事”原文是在第1节；第1至第3节是一个整体）。
4 耶和华啊！你借着你的作为使我欢喜，
我要因你手的工作欢呼。
5 耶和华啊！你的工作多么伟大，
你的心思极为深奥。
6 无理性的人不晓得，
愚昧的人不明白这事：
7 恶人虽好象草一样繁茂，
所有作孽的人虽然兴旺，
他们都要永远灭亡。
8 但你耶和华永远是至高的。
9 耶和华啊！你的仇敌必灭亡，
你的仇敌必定灭亡；
所有作孽的都必被分散。
10 你却高举了我的角，像野牛的角；
你用新油膏抹我。
11 我亲眼看见那些窥伺我的人遭报，
我亲耳听见那些起来攻击我的恶人受罚。
12 义人必像棕树一样繁茂，
像黎巴嫩的香柏树一样高耸。
13 他们栽在耶和华的殿中，
在我们 神的院子里繁茂生长。
14 他们年老的时候仍要结果子，
经常保持茂盛青翠，
15 好显明耶和华是正直的；
他是我的盘石，在他里面没有不义。
Psalm 92
New English Translation
Psalm 92[a]
A psalm; a song for the Sabbath day.
92 It is fitting[b] to thank the Lord,
and to sing praises to your name, O Most High.[c]
2 It is fitting[d] to proclaim your loyal love in the morning,
and your faithfulness during the night,
3 to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre,
to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work.
I will sing for joy because of what you have done.[e]
5 How great are your works, O Lord!
Your plans are very intricate![f]
6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this.[g]
7 When the wicked sprout up like grass,
and all the evildoers glisten,[h]
it is so that they may be annihilated.[i]
8 But you, O Lord, reign[j] forever.
9 Indeed,[k] look at your enemies, O Lord.
Indeed,[l] look at how your enemies perish.
All the evildoers are scattered.
10 You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox.[m]
I am covered[n] with fresh oil.
11 I gloat in triumph over those who tried to ambush me;[o]
I hear the defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me.[p]
12 The godly[q] grow like a palm tree;
they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.[r]
13 Planted in the Lord’s house,
they grow in the courts of our God.
14 They bear fruit even when they are old;
they are filled with vitality and have many leaves.[s]
15 So they proclaim that the Lord, my Protector,
is just and never unfair.[t]
Footnotes
- Psalm 92:1 sn Psalm 92. The psalmist praises God because he defeats the wicked and vindicates his loyal followers.
- Psalm 92:1 tn Or “good.”
- Psalm 92:1 sn The divine title “Most High” (עֶלְיוֹן ʿelyon) pictures God as the exalted ruler of the universe who vindicates the innocent and judges the wicked. See especially Pss 7:17; 9:2; 18:13; 21:7; 47:2.
- Psalm 92:2 tn The words “it is fitting” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. Verses 1-3 are actually one long sentence in the Hebrew text, but this has been divided up into two shorter sentences in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.
- Psalm 92:4 tn Heb “the works of your hands.”
- Psalm 92:5 tn Heb “very deep [are] your thoughts.” God’s “thoughts” refer here to his moral design of the world, as outlined in vv. 6-15.
- Psalm 92:6 tn Heb “the brutish man does not know, and the fool does not understand this.” The adjective בַּעַר (baʿar, “brutish”) refers to spiritual insensitivity, not mere lack of intelligence or reasoning ability (see Pss 49:10; 73:22; Prov 12:1; 30:2, as well as the use of the related verb in Ps 94:8).
- Psalm 92:7 tn Or “flourish.”
- Psalm 92:7 tn Heb “in order that they might be destroyed permanently.”sn God allows the wicked to prosper temporarily so that he might reveal his justice. When the wicked are annihilated, God demonstrates that wickedness does not pay off.
- Psalm 92:8 tn Heb “[are elevated] on high.”
- Psalm 92:9 tn Or “for.”
- Psalm 92:9 tn Or “for.”
- Psalm 92:10 sn The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “to exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 75:10; 89:24; Lam 2:17).
- Psalm 92:10 tn The Hebrew verb בָּלַל (balal) usually has the nuance “to mix.” Here it seems to mean “to smear” or “to anoint.” Some emend the form to בַּלֹּתַנִי (ballotani; a second person form of the verb with a first person suffix) and read, “you anoint me.”
- Psalm 92:11 tn Heb “my eye gazes upon my walls.” See also Pss 5:8; 27:11; 56:2. The form שׁוּרָי shuray, “my walls”) should be emended to שׁוֹרְרָי (shoreray, “my foes” or perhaps “those who rebel against me” or “those who malign me”). See HALOT 1454 s.v. שׁוֹרֵר and also Pss 5:8; 27:11; 56:2.
- Psalm 92:11 tn Heb “those who rise up against me, evil [foes], my ears hear.”
- Psalm 92:12 tn The singular is used in a representative sense, with the typical godly person being in view.
- Psalm 92:12 sn The cedars of the Lebanon forest were well-known in ancient Israel for their immense size.
