旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第33章

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
诗篇第卅三篇   第 33 篇 

  诗 33:2-3> 33:2-3 有些人认为这首诗是大卫写的。大卫会弹竖琴(参撒上 16:15-23 ),经常在诗中谈论乐器。毫无疑问,大卫给许多诗篇都谱了曲,并为圣殿敬拜作了圣乐(参代上 25 章)。 

  诗 33:4> 我神诚实无伪──从何而知? 

  33:4 神所有的话都正确、真实、可信。神不像人那样会撒谎、忘记和改变自己的话语,所以圣经是经得起考验的。圣经中的神圣洁可靠而且不会改变,所以我们可以放胆相信圣经。 

  诗 33:6-9> 面对这样伟大的神,我是如何回应的呢? 

  33:6-9 这是对创世记第一章作出的诗歌形式的总结。神不仅仅是自然能力的协调者,更是创造主和至高无上的神。神全智全能,我们要在所作所为中敬畏神。 

  诗 33:11> 我纵小信偏离,我神永不改变──如此境况,你,可曾经历? 

  33:11 “耶和华的筹算永远立定”。你有没有因看见别人或自己的表里不一而痛苦呢?神则全然可信,神的打算永远不变。那位永远不变的创造主应许我们说,要将上好的恩赐赐给我们(参雅 1:17 )。如果你不知道有谁可以相信,请记住神永不改变,让神来安慰你并相信神为你作出的终生安排。 

  诗 33:16-17> 神恩无尽,今天我还靠谁? 

  33:16-17 “马”是军事力量的象征。领袖们从不该相信自己的肉身力量,因为是神统治着每一个国家。军事上的无敌不是我们有希望的根据。神乃是我们的希望,相信神我们就会得到拯救的奇异恩典。 

  诗 33:18-19> 人在危难中,神必定拯救吗?诗人说祂会救我脱离死亡啊! 

  33:18-19 这样的应许并不是说,所有的信徒都将脱离死亡和饥饿。实际上成千上万的基督圣徒被鞭抽、打死、喂狮子或绞死(参罗 8:35-36 ;来 11:32-40 )。神可以(常常靠神迹)将信徒救离死亡和痛苦,但有时候神没有这样做,其原因只有神才知道。在这些严酷的现实面前,我们必须定睛在神的审判上。作者在这里求的是神的看顾和保护。在危机的日子里,我们要对神充满希望。──《灵修版圣经注释》
