旧约诗篇 7–10 篇

前情提要

上回说到

昨天开始读诗篇:第 1 篇说喜爱神律法的人像溪水旁的树;第 2 篇讲神所立的君王;第 3–6 篇是大卫在被追杀、病痛中的祷告,他仍能“安然躺下睡觉”()。

今天你会读到

第 7 篇大卫被人诬告,求公义的神为他伸冤;第 8 篇赞叹神的名在全地何其美,人虽渺小却蒙神眷顾、管理万物;第 9–10 篇求神审判骄横的恶人、记念困苦人,这两篇原本可能是同一首按字母排列的诗。

阅读小提示

“人算甚么,你竟顾念他?”:诗人先仰望浩瀚的天空,再惊讶神竟把尊荣赐给人。 引用这段,指向耶稣。

点时代可看说明

第 7–9 篇标题归于大卫(大卫约在主前 1010–970 年作王),第 10 篇没有标题。

诗篇 第 7 章

求你救我脱离追赶我的人

1(大卫指着的话,向耶和华唱的。)耶和华—我的 神啊,我投靠你!求你救我脱离一切追赶我的人,将我救拔出来!A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

2恐怕他们像狮子撕裂我,甚至撕碎,无人搭救。or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

我若行了这事

3耶和华—我的 神啊,我若行了这事,若有罪孽在我手里,O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

4我若以恶报那与我交好的人—连那无故与我为敌的,我也救了他,if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

5就任凭仇敌追赶我,直到追上,将我的性命踏在地下,使我的荣耀归于灰尘。(细拉)then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

求你起来施行审判

6耶和华啊,求你在怒中起来,挺身而立,抵挡我敌人的暴怒!求你为我兴起!你已经命定施行审判!Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

7愿众民的会环绕你!愿你从其上归于高位!Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.

8耶和华向众民施行审判;耶和华啊,求你按我的公义和我心中的纯正判断我。The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

9愿恶人的恶断绝!愿你坚立义人!因为公义的 神察验人的。Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

10神是我的盾牌;他拯救心里正直的人。My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

11神是公义的审判者,又是天天向恶人发怒的 神。God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

恶人掉进自己挖的坑

12若有人不回头,他的刀必磨快,弓必上弦,预备妥当了。If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

13他也预备了杀人的器械;他所射的是火箭。He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

14试看恶人因奸恶而,所怀的是毒害,所生的是虚假。Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

15他掘了坑,又挖深了,竟掉在自己所挖的里。He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

16他的毒害必临到他自己的头上;他的强暴必落到他自己的脑袋上。His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.

17我要照着耶和华的公义称谢他,歌颂耶和华至高者的名。I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

诗篇 第 8 章

你的名在全地何其美

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。用。)耶和华—我们的主啊,你的名在全地何其美!你将你的荣耀彰显于天。For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

2你因敌人的缘故,从婴孩和吃奶的口中,,使仇敌和报仇的闭口无言。From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

人算甚么

3我观看你指头所造的天,并你所陈设的月亮星宿,When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

4便说:人算什么,你竟顾念他?世人算什么,你竟眷顾他?what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

5你叫他比(或译: 神)微小一点,并赐他荣耀尊贵为冠冕。You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

6–8你派他管理你手所造的,使万物,就是一切的牛羊、田野的兽、空中的鸟、海里的鱼,凡经行海道的,都服在他的脚下。You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet: all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9耶和华—我们的主啊,你的名在全地何其美!O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

诗篇 第 9 章

我要一心称谢耶和华

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用。)我要一心称谢耶和华;我要传扬你一切奇妙的作为。For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

2我要因你欢喜快乐;至高者啊,我要歌颂你的名!I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

3我的仇敌转身退去的时候,他们一见你的面就跌倒灭亡。When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

4因你已经为我伸冤,为我;你坐在宝座上,按公义审判。For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

5你曾斥责外邦,你曾灭绝恶人;你曾涂抹他们的名,直到永永远远。You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

6仇敌到了尽头;他们被毁坏,直到永远。你拆毁他们的城邑,连他们的名号都归于无有。The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

耶和华坐着为王

7惟耶和华坐着为王,直到永远;他已经为审判设摆他的宝座。But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

8他要按公义审判世界,按正直判断万民。He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

9耶和华又要给受欺压的人作,在患难的时候作高台。The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

10耶和华啊,认识你名的人要倚靠你,因你没有离弃寻求你的人。Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11应当歌颂居锡安的耶和华,将他所行的传扬在众民中。Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

12因为那追讨流人血之罪的—他记念受屈的人,不忘记困苦人的哀求。For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

从死门把我提拔起来

13耶和华啊,你是从死门把我提拔起来的;求你怜恤我,看那恨我的人所加给我的苦难,Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

14好叫我述说你一切的美德;我必在锡安城(原文是女子)的门因你的救恩欢乐。that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

15外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中;他们的脚在自己暗设的网罗里缠住了。The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16耶和华已将自己显明了,他已施行审判;恶人被自己手所做的缠住了(或译:他叫恶人被自己手所做的累住了)。(细拉)The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

17恶人,就是忘记 神的外邦人,都必归到阴间。The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.

18穷乏人必不永久被忘;困苦人的指望必不永远落空。For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

19耶和华啊,求你起来,不容人得胜!愿外邦人在你面前受审判!Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

20耶和华啊,求你使外邦人恐惧;愿他们知道自己不过是人。(细拉)Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

诗篇 第 10 章

你为甚么站在远处

1耶和华啊,你为什么站在远处?在患难的时候为什么隐藏?Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

恶人的骄横

2恶人在骄横中把困苦人追得火急;愿他们陷在自己所设的计谋里。In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

3因为恶人以心愿自夸;贪财的背弃耶和华,并且轻慢他(或译:他祝福贪财的,却轻慢耶和华)。For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4恶人面带骄傲,说:耶和华必不追究;他一切所想的都以为没有 神。In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

5凡他所做的,时常稳固;你的审判超过他的眼界。至于他一切的敌人,他都向他们。He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.

6他心里说:我必不动摇,世世代代不遭灾难。He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”

7他满口是咒骂、诡诈、欺压,舌底是毒害、奸恶。His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

8他在村庄埋伏等候;他在隐密处杀害无辜的人。他的眼睛窥探无倚无靠的人;He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.

9他埋伏在暗地,如狮子蹲在洞中。他埋伏,要掳去困苦人;他拉网,就把困苦人掳去。He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

10他屈身蹲伏,无倚无靠的人就倒在他(爪牙:或译强暴人)之下。They are crushed and beaten down; the helpless fall prey to his strength.

11他心里说: 神竟忘记了;他掩面永不观看。He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”

求你起来,不要忘记困苦人

12耶和华啊,求你起来! 神啊,求你举手,不要忘记困苦人!Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.

13恶人为何轻慢 神,心里说:你必不追究?Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”

14其实你已经观看;因为奸恶毒害,你都看见了,为要以手施行报应。无倚无靠的人把自己交托你;你向来是帮助的。But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

15愿你打断恶人的膀臂;至于坏人,愿你追究他的恶,直到净尽。Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.

16耶和华永永远远为王;外邦人从他的地已经灭绝了。The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.

17耶和华啊,谦卑人的心愿,你早已知道(原文是听见)。你必预备他们的心,也必侧耳听他们的祈求,You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,

18为要给孤儿和受欺压的人伸冤,使强横的人不再威吓他们。to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.

摘要

诗篇第七至十篇呈现大卫在仇敌逼迫中向神呼求公义审判的祷告,同时穿插对神创造之伟大与人类尊贵地位的赞叹(第八篇)。大卫坚信神是公义的审判者,恶人终将自食其果、落入自己所掘的坑中,而神必为受欺压的困苦人伸冤,作他们患难中的高台与避难所。第十篇特别描绘恶人的骄横与自欺——以为神不追究,但诗人宣告耶和华已看见一切,必侧耳听谦卑人的祈求,为孤儿和受压迫者主持公道。

反思问题

  1. 当你感到被冤屈或遭受不公平对待时,你是否愿意像大卫一样,先省察自己的内心,再将伸冤的主权交给神?
  2. 诗篇第八篇提醒我们人在浩瀚宇宙中看似渺小,神却赐人荣耀与管理万物的使命——这如何影响你看待自己的价值与责任?
  3. 面对社会中弱势者受欺压的现实,诗篇十篇14节说神‘向来是帮助孤儿的’,这呼召你在生活中可以采取哪些具体行动来回应?

新约罗马书 5:1–11

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():“但如今”神的义在律法以外显明,人因信耶稣基督就白白地称义;亚伯拉罕在受割礼以前因信神就算为义,成了一切相信之人的父。

今天你会读到

保罗说明称义带来的结果:与神相和,站在恩典中,连在患难中也欢喜;神爱我们最清楚的证明,是基督在我们还作罪人、甚至作仇敌的时候为我们死。

阅读小提示

留意 的连锁:患难、忍耐、老练、盼望。保罗不是叫人喜欢受苦,而是相信神会在苦难中塑造人。

点时代可看说明

传统认为保罗约在主后 57 年写这封信,当时准备去耶路撒冷,之后想经过罗马往西班牙()。

罗马书 第 5 章

与神相和

1我们既因信称义,就借着我们的主耶稣基督得与 神。Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2我们又借着他,因信得现在所站的这恩典中,并且欢欢喜喜盼望 神的荣耀。through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

患难生忍耐

3不但如此,就是在患难中也是的;因为知道患难生忍耐,Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4忍耐生,老练生盼望;perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5盼望不至于羞耻,因为所赐给我们的将 神的爱在我们心里。And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

基督为罪人死

6因我们还软弱的时候,基督就按为罪人死。For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7为义人死,是少有的;为仁人死,或者有敢做的。Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

8惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神的爱就在此向我们了。But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

更要因他的生得救

9现在我们既靠着他的称义,就更要借着他免去 神的忿怒。Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

10因为我们作仇敌的时候,且借着 神儿子的死,得与 神;既已和好,就更要因他的生得救了。For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

11不但如此,我们既借着我主耶稣基督得与 神和好,也就借着他以 神。Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

摘要

罗马书五章1至11节阐明因信称义所带来的福分:与神和好、进入恩典、在患难中仍有盼望。保罗指出患难能生忍耐、老练与盼望,而圣灵将神的爱浇灌在信徒心中,使盼望不至落空。最核心的论述在于:基督在我们还作罪人、与神为敌的时候就为我们死,这显明了神主动且无条件的爱;既已藉基督的死与神和好,更要因祂复活的生命得着完全的救恩,并以神为至大的喜乐。

反思问题

  1. 保罗说‘患难生忍耐,忍耐生老练,老练生盼望’——回顾你生命中经历的困难,你是否能辨认出神透过苦难在你生命中塑造的品格?
  2. 基督在我们‘还作罪人’时就为我们死——这种无条件的爱,如何挑战你对待那些你觉得不值得被爱之人的态度?
  3. 第11节说我们‘以神为乐’,与神和好不仅是法律地位的改变,更是关系的恢复——你目前与神的关系是停留在‘被赦免’的安心,还是进入了‘以祂为乐’的亲密?
