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)。
<b>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</b> 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。
<b>And he concluded with “happy,” as it is written</b> 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)。
<b>Happy are those who take refuge in Him”</b> (Psalms 2:12).

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