旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第34章

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
诗篇第卅四篇   第 34 篇 

  诗 34 篇 > 神既满有恩典,我干脆坐下来等着,可以吗? 

  34 篇 神对百姓应许了许多福分,但都要求我们积极地参与。神将救我们脱离恐惧( 34:4 )和困难( 34:6 ),并且保护和拯救我们( 34:7 )。神向我们显示善意( 34:8 ),供应我们的需要( 34:9 ),垂听我们跟祂说的话( 34:15 ),救赎我们( 34:22 )。但我们必须作好我们的这一部分。我们寻求神的时候可以支取神的祝福( 34:4 , 10 ),向神呼求( 34:6 , 17 ),信赖神( 34:8 ),畏惧神( 34:7 , 9 ),不对神撒谎( 34:13 ),离弃罪恶,行善,寻求和平( 34:14 ),谦卑( 34:18 ),事奉神( 34:22 )。 

  诗 34:8> 主恩的滋味,你尝过了?是怎样的? 

  34:8 “尝尝看”的意思不是“来看看神的资格怎么样”,乃是个热情的邀请:“来试试吧,我知道你会喜欢的!”当我们顺从地跟随神迈出第一步的时候,我们不禁发现神原来是这样的尽善尽美。当我们开始过基督徒生活时,我们对神的认识是片面不完整的。随着我们每天信靠神,我们便会经历到神的美好。 

  诗 34:9> 敬畏神的人生是美好的──人都这样说,只是什么才是敬畏神? 

  34:9 你说你属于主,但你敬畏主吗?敬畏主的意思是深深地爱主,敬畏荣耀主。我们要以谦卑的态度和真诚的敬拜来显示我们对主的真正尊敬。尊敬主的有亚伯拉罕(参创 17:2-4 ),摩西(参出 3:5-6 ),和以色列人(参出 19:16-24 )。他们对神的尊敬在行为上各不相同,但都深深地尊敬主。 

  诗 34:9-10> 真的什么都一无所缺?那就好了!但其实,真正所需的…… 

  34:9-10 一开始我们会对大卫的说法提出疑问,因为我们似乎缺乏许多好的东西。对基督徒而言,这不是个包揽一切的应许,表示他们的一切需要都会被满足。相反,这是大卫对神的良善的赞美。凡有需要的人求靠主名都将蒙垂听。神有时候是以意想不到的方式垂听人们的祷告。请记住,神知道我们的需要,我们最深的需要是属灵的需要。许多基督徒尽管面临难以忍受的贫困,但仍然有足够的属灵营养为主而活。大卫是在说,拥有神就有了你真正需要的一切。神是充足的神。如果你感到你缺乏所需的一切,那你就要问一问自己:( 1 )这是不是你真正的需要?( 2 )这需要是否对我真的有好处?( 3 )这是不是我得到它的最好时候?即使你对这三方面的回答都是 " 是 " 的话,神也可能就是让你此时得不到,来帮助你更加依靠神。神是要你知道,你需要神远远超过眼前急于满足的需要。 

  诗 34:11-14> 将敬畏神的道活出来,可以的吗? 

  34:11-14 圣经常常把“敬畏主”同“顺服”连在一起。“敬畏神谨守他的诫命”(传 12:13 );“人若爱我就必遵守我的道,”(约 14:23 )。大卫说,一个敬畏主的人是一个不撒谎、脱离罪恶、行善并促进和平的人。我们对神的尊敬远不止静静地坐在教会里,它包括我们在说话和待人方式上对神的顺服。 

  诗 34:14> 和平是要付上努力的…… 

  34:14 我们认为平安应理所当然地临到我们。但大卫解释说,我们应该去寻求和追求平安。保罗在罗马书 12 章 18 节中也对此作了回应。一个人想要平安就不要争论好斗,因为和平的关系来自我们促进和平的努力。我们每天要为与人和平共处而努力。 

  诗 34:18-19> 面对痛苦、失败,总想逃避;神真会为我除去所有难处? 

  34:18-19 我们常常希望躲避麻烦。它们包括悲痛、受损、失败或每天消磨我们的鸡毛蒜皮的事。神应许说祂“要靠近伤心的人”,成为我们的力量、勇气和智慧的源泉,并帮助我们渡过困难阶段。有时候神会让我们一下子脱离困难,有时候不。但我们受到困难打击的时候不要埋怨神,相反应当承认我们需要神的帮助,并感谢神在我们身旁。 

  诗 34:20> 连一根骨头也不折断这话蛮熟悉的,是指…… 

  34:20 这是预言基督要被钉十字架。当时罗马政府虽有打断犯人腿催死的做法,但耶稣的骨头一根也不可折断(参约 19:32-37 )。另外,这是指大卫在危机中求神的保护。──《灵修版圣经注释》
