旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第135章

Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,
you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.
I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals.
He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings--
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan--
and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;
O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD.
Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
诗篇第一百卅五篇   第 135 篇 

  诗 135:4> 神从万族中拣选以色列,神也从万人中拣选我和你…… 

  135:4 雅各的后代以色列是神的选民,这反映在申命记 7 章 6 至 8 节及彼得前书 2 章 9 节中,彼得在对教会的讲道中述说了神的选民的使命。神珍惜我们。所有信神的人,神都以慈爱和怜悯相待。 

  诗 135:15-18> 拜无生命的偶像,自己的生命也停滞不前;我今天所看重所跟从的又是…… 

  135:15-18 那些拜偶像的人就跟偶像一样麻木。他们看不见也听不见神的话语。我们若拜偶像,也会不知不觉地像偶像那样愚蠢了。如果耶和华是我们的神,那么随着我们对神的敬拜,我们应该更像神。我们的目标是什么?在我们生活中什么最优先?我们要小心地选择,因为我们敬拜谁,就会染上谁的特点。──《灵修版圣经注释》
