旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第87章

He has set his foundation on the holy mountain;
the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are said of you, O city of God: Selah
"I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me--Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush--and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.'"
Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her."
The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." Selah
As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you."
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》
