旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第105章

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."
When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
"Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
and he sent a man before them--Joseph, sold as a slave.
They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
They performed his miraculous signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness and made the land dark--for had they not rebelled against his words?
He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;
he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;
they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for--
that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise 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。
