诗篇 第 11 章

根基毁坏时仍投靠神

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。)我是投靠耶和华;你们怎么对我说:你当像鸟飞往你的山去。For the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!

2看哪,恶人弯弓,把箭搭在弦上,要在暗中射那心里正直的人。For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

3若毁坏,义人还能做什么呢?If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

耶和华在圣殿里察看

4耶和华在他的圣殿里;耶和华的宝座在天上;他的慧眼察看世人。The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.

5耶和华试验义人;惟有恶人和喜爱强暴的人,他心里恨恶。The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

6他要向恶人密布网罗;有烈火、、热风,作他们杯中的分。On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

7因为耶和华是公义的,他喜爱公义;正直人必得见他的面。For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.

诗篇 第 12 章

虔诚人断绝了

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用第八。)耶和华啊,求你帮助,因虔诚人断绝了;世人中间的忠信人没有了。For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

2人人向邻舍说谎;他们说话,是嘴唇油滑,。They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

3凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头,耶和华必要剪除。May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

4他们曾说:我们必能以舌头得胜;我们的嘴唇是我们自己的,谁能作我们的主呢?They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”

耶和华纯净的言语

5耶和华说:因为困苦人的冤屈和贫穷人的叹息,我现在要起来,把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

6耶和华的言语是纯净的言语,如同银子在中炼过七次。The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

7耶和华啊,你必保护他们;你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

8在世人中升高,就有恶人到处游行。The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

诗篇 第 13 章

要到几时呢

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。)耶和华啊,你忘记我呢?要到永远吗?你掩面不顾我要到几时呢?For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2我心里筹算,终日愁苦,要到几时呢?我的仇敌升高压制我,要到几时呢?How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3耶和华—我的 神啊,求你看顾我,应允我!使我眼目光明,免得我沉睡至死;Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4免得我的仇敌说:我胜了他;免得我的敌人在我摇动的时候喜乐。lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

但我倚靠你的慈爱

5但我倚靠你的慈爱;我的心因你的救恩快乐。But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6我要向耶和华歌唱,因他用厚恩待我。I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

诗篇 第 14 章

愚顽人说没有神

1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。)心里说:没有 神。他们都是邪恶,行了可憎恶的事;没有一个人行善。For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

2耶和华从天上垂看世人,要看有明白的没有,有寻求 神的没有。The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3他们都偏离正路,一同变为污秽;并没有行善的,连一个也没有。All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

神在义人的族类中

4作孽的都没有知识吗?他们吞吃我的百姓,如同吃饭一样,并不求告耶和华。Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

5他们在那里大大地害怕,因为 神在义人的族类中。There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

6你们叫困苦人的谋算变为羞辱;然而耶和华是他的避难所。You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

7但愿以色列的救恩从锡安而出。耶和华救回他被掳的子民那时,雅各要快乐,以色列要欢喜。Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

诗篇 第 15 章

谁能住在你的圣山

1(大卫的诗。)耶和华啊,谁能寄居你的帐幕?谁能住在你的圣山?A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

2就是行为正直、做事公义、心里说实话的人。He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

3他不以舌头人,不恶待朋友,也不随伙毁谤邻里。who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

4他眼中藐视,却尊重那敬畏耶和华的人。他发了誓,虽然自己吃亏也不更改。who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

5他不,不受贿赂以害无辜。行这些事的人必永不动摇。who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

诗篇 第 16 章

你是我的主

1(大卫的。) 神啊,求你保佑我,因为我投靠你。A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

2我的心哪,你曾对耶和华说:你是我的主;我的好处不在你以外。I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

3论到世上的圣民,他们又美又善,是我最喜悦的。As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

4以别神代替耶和华的(或译:送礼物给别神的),他们的愁苦必加增;他们所浇奠的血我不献上;我嘴唇也不提别神的名号。Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

5耶和华是我的产业,是我;我所得的,你为我持守。The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

6,坐落在佳美之处;我的产业实在美好。The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

不叫你的圣者见朽坏

7我必称颂那指教我的耶和华;我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.

8我将耶和华常摆在我面前,因他在我右边,我便不致摇动。I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9因此,我的心欢喜,我的灵(原文是荣耀)快乐;我的肉身也要安然居住。Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.

10因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间,也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

11你必将生命的道路指示我。在你面前有满足的喜乐;在你右手中有永远的福乐。You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

诗篇 第 17 章

求你听我的祈祷

1(大卫的祈祷。)耶和华啊,求你听闻公义,侧耳听我的呼吁!求你留心听我这不出于诡诈嘴唇的祈祷!A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer—it comes from lips free of deceit.

2愿我的判语从你面前发出;愿你的眼睛观看公正。May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

3你已经试验我的心;你在夜间鉴察我;你熬炼我,却找不着什么;我立志叫我口中没有过失。You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

4论到人的行为,我借着你嘴唇的言语自己谨守,不行强暴人的道路。As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

5我的脚踏定了你的路径;我的两脚未曾滑跌。My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.

将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下

6神啊,我曾求告你,因为你必应允我;求你向我侧耳,听我的言语。I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

7求你显出你奇妙的慈爱来;你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脱离起来攻击他们的人。Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.

8求你保护我,如同保护;将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下,Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

9使我脱离那欺压我的恶人,就是围困我要害我命的仇敌。from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10他们的心;他们用口说骄傲的话。They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

11他们围困了我们的脚步;他们瞪着眼,要把我们推倒在地。They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

12他像狮子急要抓食,又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

我必在义中见你的面

13耶和华啊,求你起来,前去迎敌,将他打倒!用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

14耶和华啊,求你用手救我脱离世人,脱离那只在今生有福分的世人!你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹;他们因有儿女就心满意足,将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

15至于我,我必在义中见你的面;我醒了的时候,得见(或译:着)你的形象就心满意足了。As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.

摘要

诗篇十一至十七篇呈现大卫在仇敌逼迫、世道败坏中对神的信靠与呼求。他哀叹虔诚人断绝、谎言横行、愚顽人否认神,却始终确信耶和华从圣殿鉴察万民、保护义人、审判恶人。这组诗篇也勾勒出亲近神的人应有的品格——正直、公义、诚实、守约,并以“将耶和华常摆在面前”为核心,宣告在神面前有满足的喜乐与永远的福乐。

反思问题

  1. 当周围环境充满不公与谎言时,你如何像大卫一样持守对神的信靠,而非靠自己的方式逃避或反击?
  2. 诗篇十五篇描述能住在神圣山的人具备正直、守约、不取不义之财等品格,其中哪一项对你目前的生活最具挑战性?你可以怎样操练?
  3. 大卫说‘我将耶和华常摆在我面前’(诗十六8),在你每日的工作、决策与人际关系中,有哪些具体方式可以帮助你实践这个操练?

新约罗马书 5:12–21

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():我们既因信称义,就与神相和,在患难中也能欢喜,因为“患难生忍耐,忍耐生老练,老练生盼望”;基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,显明了神的爱。

今天你会读到

保罗比较两个人:罪和死借着亚当一人进入世界,临到众人;恩典和生命却借着耶稣基督一人,更加倍地临到众人。律法使过犯显多,但“罪在哪里显多,恩典就更显多了”。

阅读小提示

留意这段一再出现的“何况”和“更”:保罗不只说基督抵消了亚当带来的祸,而是说恩典远远胜过罪。

■ 当时 □ 预言所指

点时代可看说明

传统认为约主后 57 年写于哥林多;这段回到创世记开头亚当犯罪的事(创 3 章)。

罗马书 第 5 章

罪和死从一人入了世界

12这就如罪是从一人入了世界,死又是从罪来的;于是死就临到众人,。Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

13没有律法之先,罪已经在世上;但没有律法,罪也。For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

14然而从到,死就作了王,连那些不与亚当犯一样罪过的,也在他的权下。亚当乃是那以后要来之人的。Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

过犯不如恩赐

15只是过犯不如,若因一人的过犯,众人都死了,何况 神的恩典,与那因耶稣基督一人恩典中的赏赐,岂不更加倍地临到众人吗?But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

16因一人犯罪就定罪,也不如恩赐,原来审判是由一人而定罪,恩赐乃是由许多过犯而称义。Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

17若因一人的过犯,死就因这一人作了王,何况那些受又蒙所赐之义的,岂不更要因耶稣基督一人在生命中作王吗?For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

一次的义行使众人称义

18如此说来,因一次的过犯,众人都被定罪;照样,因一次的,众人也就被称义得生命了。So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

19因一人的,众人成为罪人;照样,因一人的顺从,众人也成为义了。For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

罪显多,恩典更显多

20律法本是,叫过犯显多;只是罪在哪里显多,恩典就更显多了。The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

21就如罪作王叫人死;照样,恩典也借着义作王,叫人因我们的主耶稣基督得永生。so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

摘要

罗马书五章12至21节以亚当与基督的对比,阐明罪与恩典的运作。因亚当一人的悖逆,罪与死进入世界,临到所有人;但神的恩典藉耶稣基督一人的顺从与义行,远超过罪的破坏力,使众人被称义得生命。保罗强调罪在哪里显多,恩典就更显多,最终恩典借着义作王,叫人因基督得永生。

反思问题

  1. 保罗说‘罪在哪里显多,恩典就更显多’,这句话如何影响你面对自身软弱和反复失败时的态度?它是否也提醒你不可滥用恩典?
  2. 亚当的悖逆带来死,基督的顺从带来生命——在你目前的生活中,有哪些领域你需要从‘照自己意思行’转向‘顺从基督’?
  3. 经文强调我们‘还作罪人的时候’基督就为我们死,这种无条件的爱如何改变你看待自己和看待他人的方式?
