续证诗篇头两篇本是一篇:凡大卫珍爱的篇章,起头用「有福」,收结也用「有福」——第一篇开首「不从恶人的计谋」,第二篇末了「凡投靠他的都是有福的」。

凡 大卫 所珍爱的篇章,他都以『有福』起头,以『有福』收结。他以『有福』起头,正如经上所写:「不从恶人的计谋、不站罪人的道路、不坐亵慢人的座位,这人便为有福」(诗篇 1:1)。
Every chapter that was dear to David, he began with “happy is” and concluded with “happy is.” He opened with “happy is,” as it is written: “Happy is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked or stood in the way of sinners or sat in the dwelling place of the scornful” (Psalms 1:1).
-
他又以『有福』收结,正如那篇末了所写:「你们当以纯洁致敬,免得他发怒,你们便在道中灭亡,因为他的怒气快要发作。
And he concluded with “happy,” as it is written at the end of the chapter: “Pay homage in purity, lest He be angry, and you perish on the way when His anger is kindled suddenly.
此句希伯来文作 נַשְּׁקוּ בַר,历来读法不一:和合本作「当以嘴亲子」,英译作「以纯洁致敬」。中文这里从英译,和合本那一路读法便看不见了。
-
凡投靠他的,都是有福的」(诗篇 2:12)。
Happy are those who take refuge in Him” (Psalms 2:12).

可见这两篇其实是一篇。
We see that these two chapters actually constitute a single chapter.
