旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第87章

His foundation is in the holy mountains.
The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
诗篇第八十七篇   第 87 篇 

  诗 87 篇 > 锡安山并不巍峨险峻,何以这样出名? 

  87 篇 锡安(圣山,耶路撒冷)和它的圣殿代表了未来信徒的群体。这首诗预见到了在启示录 21 章 27 节中描述的神的圣城。在那里居住的荣耀将给予在羔羊生命册上有名的人(参启 21:27 )。这一美好群体的形成和存在是神的恩典。人怎能拒绝神邀请我们参加这庆典呢? 

  诗 87:4> 拉哈伯这名字,是古老的东西?是…… 

  87:4 拉哈伯是古近东诗篇中有名的妖怪,是神的敌人。它的名字用在这里来代表埃及。埃及是神百姓的传统敌人。──《灵修版圣经注释》
