旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第111章

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
诗篇第一百十一篇   第 111 篇 

  诗 111-118 篇 > 我要以怎样的心情和态度去读这些赞美诗? 

  111-118 篇 诗篇第 111 至 118 篇被称为哈利路亚诗篇。哈利路亚的意思是“赞美主”,表达了这些诗的高昂和乐观的基调。 

  诗 111:9> 神是圣而可畏,却又可以接近的,是否很矛盾呢? 

  111:9 “救赎”在这里说的是神拯救以色列人出埃及,并在未来使他们从巴比伦回归(参申 7:8 ;耶 31:11 )。“救赎”的意思是付上赎价重获某物或某人。所有的人都成了罪恶的奴隶,但耶稣为我们付了赎价,释放了我们,并献出了生命作为完美的祭,使我们不再是罪恶的奴隶。在耶稣为人的罪献身为祭之前,百姓不能自己到神的面前去(至圣所),现在所有的信徒都可以通过祷告自由地接近神的宝座,通过圣灵使神来到他们的生命之中。 

  诗 111:10> 在我看,怎样才算聪明人?是能日理万机,赚尽世间钱财的人?在神的眼中,是…… 

  111:10 敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端,在箴言 1 章 7 至 9 节中也表达了同样的思想。人们常常想要越过这一开端,认为靠自己的生活经历和学术知识就可以变得聪明起来。但如果我们没有认识到神是智慧的源泉的话,那我们所作“聪明的决定”就没有稳定的基础,而且我们也容易作出错误和荒唐的抉择。──《灵修版圣经注释》
