< Psalms 24 >
1 For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.
【主的榮耀】大地和其中的萬物,屬於上主,世界和其間的居民,屬於上主。
2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.
是祂在海洋上奠定了大地,是祂在江河上建立了世界。
3 Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?
誰能上登天主的聖山?誰能居留在祂的聖殿?
4 The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
是那手潔心清,不慕虛幻的人,是那不發假誓,不行欺騙的人。
5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.
他必獲得上主的祝福;他必獲得天主的酬報。
6 This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
這樣的人是尋求上主的苖裔,追求雅各伯天主儀容的子息。
7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
城門,請提高你們的門楣,古老的門戶,請加大門扉,因為要歡迎光榮的君王。
8 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.
誰是這位光榮的君主?就是英勇大能的上主,是那有力作戰的天主。
9 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
城門,請提高高你的門楣,古老的門戶,請加大門扉,因為要歡迎光榮的君王,
10 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
誰是這位光榮的君主?這位光榮的君主,就是萬軍之軍的上主。
