旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第102章

Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come to you.
Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.
For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn like glowing embers.
My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food.
Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones.
I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.
All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears
because of your great wrath, for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
But you, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.
You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.
For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity.
The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.
Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:
"The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."
So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem
when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD.
In the course of my life he broke my strength; he cut short my days.
So I said: "Do not take me away, O my God, in the midst of my days; your years go on through all generations.
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.
But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you."
诗篇第一百零二篇   第 102 篇 

  诗 102:3-4> 在痛苦疾病中,人软弱得可以,什么都没有趣味了;我的指望在哪儿呢? 

  102:3-4 诗人感觉难受,失去了食欲。当我们面临疾病和绝望的时候,日子不知不觉的过去了,我们也忘了自己起码的需要。在这些日子里,只有神是我们的安慰和力量。在我们弱得无力争战的时候,我们可以依靠神。常常有这种情况,一旦我们认识到了自己的软弱,神的大能就显出来了。 

  诗 102:6-7> 许多人说孤单的感觉并不好,有时候在独处中反而得力…… 

  102:6-7 这些鸟让人看到一幅孤独和独处的图画。有些时候我们需要独处,而且独处会安慰我们。但不要踢走来找我们的人,也不要拒绝帮助和谈话。默默地受苦不是基督徒的做法,也不是健康的做法。相反我们要心怀感激地接受来自家庭和朋友的支持、帮助。 

  诗 102:16-22> 基督再来时,地上的情形是…… 

  102:16-22 基督将来在地上掌权将包含这里提到的两个事件:耶路撒冷(锡安)将被重建,整个世界将敬拜神(参启 11:15 ; 21:1-27 )。 

  诗 102:25-27> 各样事情都不顺意的时候,我仍要赞美主,因为…… 

  102:25-27 这首诗的作者因为自己惹的大祸,而产生了被拒绝和给抛在一边的感觉( 102:9-10 )。麻烦和痛心可以征服我们,使我们感到神拒绝了我们。但神我们的创造主将永远与我们同在,尽管有的时候我们感到孤独,祂还是要信守祂所有的诺言。世界将要消失,但神会存在。希伯来书 1 章 10 至 12 节中引用了这些经文来说明,神的儿子耶稣基督在创世的时候,也在场并参与了创造的工作。──《灵修版圣经注释》
