诗篇 第 26 章

求你察看我,试验我

1(大卫的诗。)耶和华啊,求你为我伸冤,因我向来行事纯全;我又倚靠耶和华,并不摇动。Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2耶和华啊,求你察看我,试验我,熬炼我的肺腑心肠。Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

3因为你的慈爱常在我眼前,我也按你的真理而行。For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4我没有和虚谎人同坐,也不与人的同群。I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

5我恨恶恶人的会,必不与恶人同坐。I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

我喜爱你所住的殿

6耶和华啊,我要,才环绕你的祭坛;I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7我好发称谢的声音,也要述说你一切奇妙的作为。to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

8耶和华啊,我喜爱你所住的殿和你显荣耀的居所。O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9不要把我的灵魂和罪人一同除掉;不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉。Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10他们的手中有奸恶,右手满有贿赂。in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11至于我,却要行事纯全;求你救赎我,怜恤我!But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12我的脚站在平坦地方;在众会中我要称颂耶和华!My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

诗篇 第 27 章

耶和华是我的亮光

1(大卫的诗。)耶和华是我的亮光,是我的拯救,我还怕谁呢?耶和华是我性命的(或译:力量),我还惧谁呢?Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread?

2那作恶的就是我的仇敌,前来吃我肉的时候就绊跌仆倒。When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

3虽有军兵安营攻击我,我的心也不害怕;虽然兴起刀兵攻击我,我必仍旧安稳。Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

有一件事我曾求耶和华

4有一件事,我曾求耶和华,我仍要寻求:就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中,瞻仰他的荣美,在他的殿里求问。One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

5因为我遭遇患难,他必暗暗地保守我;在他里,把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处,将我高举在磐石上。For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

6现在我得以昂首,高过四面的仇敌。我要在他的帐幕里欢然献祭;我要唱诗歌颂耶和华。Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

你的面我正要寻求

7耶和华啊,我用声音呼吁的时候,求你垂听;并求你怜恤我,应允我。Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

8你说:你们当寻求我的面。那时我心向你说:耶和华啊,你的面我正要寻求。My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

9不要向我掩面。不要发怒赶逐仆人,你向来是帮助我的。救我的 神啊,不要丢掉我,也不要离弃我。Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10我父母离弃我,耶和华必收留我。Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11耶和华啊,求你将你的道指教我,因我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

12求你不要把我交给敌人,遂其所愿;因为妄作见证的和口吐凶言的,起来攻击我。Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

要等候耶和华

13我若不信在活人之地得见耶和华的恩惠,就早已了。Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14要等候耶和华!当壮胆,坚固你的心!我再说,要等候耶和华!Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

诗篇 第 28 章

不要向我缄默

1(大卫的诗。)耶和华啊,我要求告你!我的磐石啊,不要向我缄默!倘若你向我闭口,我就如将死的人一样。Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2我呼求你,向你举手的时候,求你垂听我恳求的声音!Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3不要把我和恶人并作孽的一同除掉;他们与邻舍说和平话,心里却是奸恶。Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

4愿你按着他们所做的,并他们所行的恶事待他们。愿你照着他们手所做的待他们,将他们所应得的报应加给他们。Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5他们既然不留心耶和华所行的和他手所做的,他就必毁坏他们,不建立他们。Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

耶和华是我的力量

6耶和华是应当称颂的,因为他听了我恳求的声音。Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

7耶和华是我的力量,是我的盾牌;我心里倚靠他就得帮助。所以我心中欢乐,我必用诗歌颂赞他。The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

8耶和华是他百姓的力量,又是他受膏者得救的保障。The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

9求你拯救你的百姓,赐福给你的产业,牧养他们,扶持他们,直到永远。Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.

诗篇 第 29 章

将荣耀归给耶和华

1(大卫的诗。) 神的众子啊,你们要将荣耀、能力归给耶和华,归给耶和华!A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2要将耶和华的名所当得的荣耀归给他,以圣洁的(的:或译为)敬拜耶和华。Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

耶和华的声音

3耶和华的声音发在水上;荣耀的 神打雷,耶和华打雷在大水之上。The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

4耶和华的声音大有能力;耶和华的声音满有威严。The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

5耶和华的声音震破香柏树;耶和华震碎的香柏树。The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6他也使之跳跃如牛犊,使黎巴嫩和跳跃如野牛犊。He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7耶和华的声音使火焰分岔。The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8耶和华的声音震动旷野;耶和华震动。The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9耶和华的声音惊动母鹿,树木也脱落净光。凡在他殿中的,都称说他的荣耀。The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

耶和华坐着为王

10泛滥之时,耶和华坐着为王;耶和华坐着为王,直到永远。The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

11耶和华必赐力量给他的百姓;耶和华必赐平安的福给他的百姓。The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

诗篇 第 30 章

你曾提拔我

1(大卫在的时候,作这诗歌。)耶和华啊,我要尊崇你,因为你曾提拔我,不叫仇敌向我夸耀。A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

2耶和华—我的 神啊,我曾呼求你,你医治了我。O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

3耶和华啊,你曾把我的灵魂从阴间救上来,使我存活,不至于下坑。O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.

4耶和华的圣民哪,你们要歌颂他,称赞他可记念的圣名。Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

5因为,他的怒气不过是转眼之间;他的恩典乃是一生之久。虽然有哭泣,早晨便必欢呼。For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

你掩了面,我就惊惶

6至于我,我凡事平顺便说:我永不动摇。In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”

7耶和华啊,你曾施恩,叫我的稳固;你掩了面,我就惊惶。O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8耶和华啊,我曾求告你;我向耶和华恳求,说:To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

9我被害流血,下到坑中,有什么益处呢?尘土岂能称赞你,传说你的诚实么?“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

10耶和华啊,求你应允我,怜恤我!耶和华啊,求你帮助我!Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”

将我的哀哭变为跳舞

11你已将我的哀哭变为跳舞,将我的脱去,给我披上喜乐,You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12好叫我的灵(原文是荣耀)歌颂你,并不住声。耶和华—我的 神啊,我要称谢你,直到永远!that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.

摘要

诗篇二十六至三十篇展现大卫在患难中对神的信靠与赞美。他求神察验自己的纯全,宣告耶和华是亮光、拯救与力量,在仇敌环绕中仍坚定等候神。第二十九篇以雷声描绘神威严的声音震动万物,宣告祂永远作王;第三十篇则见证神将哀哭变为跳舞,怒气转眼而过,恩典却是一生之久。

反思问题

  1. 大卫说“耶和华是我的亮光、是我的拯救”——在你目前面对的困难中,你是否真实经历神作你的亮光与保障?什么拦阻你全然信靠祂?
  2. 诗篇三十篇5节说“一宿虽然有哭泣,早晨便必欢呼”,回顾你的生命,有哪些曾经的哭泣后来被神转化为欢呼的经历?
  3. 大卫渴望“一生一世住在耶和华的殿中,瞻仰祂的荣美”。在忙碌的日常中,你如何培养与神亲近、寻求祂面的习惯?

新约罗马书 8:1–13

前情提要

上回说到

昨天(7 章):律法本身是圣洁的,却叫人看见罪;保罗描写立志为善却行不出来的挣扎,喊出“我真是苦啊”,答案是“感谢神,靠着我们的主耶稣基督就能脱离了”。

今天你会读到

从 7 章的挣扎转到 8 章的宣告:在基督耶稣里的人“不定罪了”。律法因肉体软弱做不到的,神差儿子成就了;随从肉体的就是死,随从圣灵的乃是生命、平安。神的灵住在信徒心里,也要使必死的身体活过来。

阅读小提示

7 章一再说“我”,8 章的焦点转到圣灵。读的时候留意圣灵在这段做了哪些事:释放、住在心里、使人活过来、帮助人治死恶行。

点时代可看说明

传统认为约主后 57 年写于哥林多。

罗马书 第 8 章

在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了

1如今,那些在里的就不了。Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2因为赐生命圣灵的律,在基督耶稣里释放了我,使我脱离罪和死的律了。For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

神差遣自己的儿子

3律法既因软弱,有所不能行的, 神就差遣自己的儿子,成为,作了,在肉体中定了罪案,For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

4使律法的义成就在我们这不随从肉体、只随从的人身上。so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

体贴肉体与体贴圣灵

5因为,随从肉体的人肉体的事;随从圣灵的人体贴圣灵的事。Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

6体贴肉体的,就是死;体贴圣灵的,乃是生命、平安。The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

7原来体贴肉体的,就是与 神为仇;因为不服 神的律法,也是不能服,because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

8而且属肉体的人不能得 神的喜欢。Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

基督的灵住在你们心里

9如果 神的灵住在你们心里,你们就不属肉体,乃属圣灵了。人若没有基督的灵,就不是属基督的。You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

10基督若在你们心里,身体就因罪而死,心灵却因义而活。But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11然而,叫耶稣从死里复活者的灵若住在你们心里,那叫基督耶稣从死里复活的,也必借着住在你们心里的圣灵,使你们必死的身体又活过来。And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行

12弟兄们,这样看来,我们并不是去顺从肉体活着。Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

13你们若顺从肉体活着,必要死;若靠着圣灵身体的恶行,必要活着。For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

摘要

罗马书八章1至13节宣告在基督耶稣里的人不再被定罪,因为圣灵的律已释放我们脱离罪和死的律。保罗对比随从肉体与随从圣灵两种生命方向:体贴肉体带来死亡与敌对神,体贴圣灵则带来生命与平安。信徒不再欠肉体的债,乃是靠圣灵治死身体的恶行而活。

反思问题

  1. “不定罪”的宣告对你的日常生活有什么实际意义?当你感到罪疚或自我控诉时,如何回到这个真理中得释放?
  2. 保罗说体贴肉体就是死、体贴圣灵就是生命平安——在你目前的生活中,有哪些具体的领域你正在肉体与圣灵之间挣扎?
  3. 第13节提到“靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行”,这与靠自己的意志力克服罪有何不同?你可以如何更多倚靠圣灵的能力来胜过试探?
