旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第105章

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
诗篇第一百零五篇   第 105 篇 

  诗 105 篇 > 一首回顾神在以色列历史中作工的诗…… 

  105 篇 这首诗的前 15 节在历代志上 16 章 \cs15 8 至 22 节里也能找到。大卫将约柜抬到耶路撒冷,庆祝时所唱的诗歌里曾有这首诗。另外的三首诗歌是 78 , 106 和 136 篇,也是在回顾以色列的历史。 %5 

  诗 105:4-5> 有时候神仿佛离我们很远,其实不然。也许你要问自己一声:我真心寻求过祂吗? 

  105:4-5 如果我们觉得神离自己很远,那就要坚持寻找神。神奖励的是那些真心寻求神的人(参来 11:6 )。耶稣应许人说:“你们寻找就寻见”(参太 7:7 )。诗人给了我们一个寻找神的好方法:熟知神过去帮助百姓的方法。圣经记载了神的百姓的历史。我们在查阅的时候,会发现那位慈爱的神正等待我们去寻找祂。 

  诗 105:6-11> 神与以色列立的约,是一个什么样的约? 

  105:6-11 以色列是神用来向全人类显示其律法的民族。他们是亚伯拉罕的子孙。神拣选了亚伯拉罕并应许说,亚伯拉罕的后裔将要居住在迦南地上(现在叫以色列),而且他们的数目多得数不胜数(参创 17:6-8 )。亚伯拉罕的儿子是以撒,以撒的儿子是雅各,这三个人被认为是族长或以色列的始祖。神因为他们的信心而祝福了他们(参来 11:8-21 )。 

  诗 105:23-25> 是我们的神挑起争端,叫埃及人恨恶以色列人吗? 

  105:23-25 是神导致了埃及人憎恶以色列人吗?神不是邪恶的缔造者。然而圣经作者并不常把神的终极行动和眼前行为区分开来。因为耶和华祝福以色列,他们才招致了埃及人的憎恶(参出 1:8-22 ),并且神也说过要使埃及人恨以色列人。神正是使用他们的仇恨作为领以色列人出埃及的楔机。 

  诗 105:45> 神保守我经过大小事情,会期望我有什么回应? 

  105:45 神保守以色列的目的是让他们能“遵他的律例,守他的律法”。我们屡次在生活中运用“自由的法则”使自己高兴,然而我们应该荣耀神。这就是神赐予我们生命,和为什么将祂的话语赐给我们的目的。
