W3 2013-07-10 (詩篇112-113)
113:1 
你們要讚美耶和華!耶和華的僕人哪,你們要讚美,讚美耶和華的名!

113:2 耶和華的名是應當稱頌的,從今時直到永遠!

113:3 從日出之地到日落之處,耶和華的名是應當讚美的!

113:4 耶和華超乎萬民之上;他的榮耀高過諸天。

113:5 誰像耶和華我們的 神呢?他坐在至高之處,

113:6 自己謙卑,觀看天上地下的事。

113:7 他從灰塵裡抬舉貧寒人,從糞堆中提拔窮乏人,

113:8 使他們與王子同坐,就是與本國的王子同坐。

113:9 他使不能生育的婦人安居家中,為多子的樂母。你們要讚美耶和華!



默想: 以色列人在守節日的時候都會頌唱詩篇113。這首詩是一首宣召詩,邀請會眾一起來敬拜上帝,一起來讚美耶和華的名。詩人講到,上帝不受時間、地點的限制,在萬民之上,是值得我們讚美的。祂的榮耀超越天上地下一切所有的,但是我們讚美上帝不僅是因為上帝的權能、偉大,更重要的是我們的上帝是一位看顧弱勢、窮人與不孕婦女的上帝。祂是與那些被人看不起的同在,也是幫助卑微人的上帝,上帝使他們能與有權勢的人同坐。
上帝是偉大,有能力的神,也同時是看顧弱勢、卑微的人。這對我們有什麼提醒呢?我想,詩人是提醒我們若從上帝那裡領受了祝福,得到了更多的能力、資源,也應當不要忘記,多運用這些能力、資源來幫助弱勢、卑微的人。

題目: 詩篇113篇如何描述上帝的超然性 (Transcendence) 與內駐性 (Immanence) 呢?

 

 

112:1 你們要讚美耶和華!敬畏耶和華,甚喜愛他命令的,這人便為有福!
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. Praise...: Heb. Hallelujah
112:2 他的後裔在世必強盛;正直人的後代必要蒙福。

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
112:3 他家中有貨物,有錢財;他的公義存到永遠。

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
112:4 正直人在黑暗中,有光向他發現;他有恩惠,有憐憫,有公義。

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:5 施恩與人、借貸與人的,這人事情順利;他被審判的時候要訴明自己的冤。

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. discretion: Heb. judgment
112:6 他永不動搖;義人被記念,直到永遠。

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
112:7 他必不怕凶惡的信息;他心堅定,倚靠耶和華。

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
112:8 他心確定,總不懼怕,直到他看見敵人遭報。

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
112:9 他施捨錢財,賙濟貧窮;他的仁義存到永遠。他的角必被高舉,大有榮耀。

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
112:10 惡人看見便惱恨,必咬牙而消化;惡人的心願要歸滅絕。

The wicked shall see it , and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

113:1 你們要讚美耶和華!耶和華的僕人哪,你們要讚美,讚美耶和華的名!

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

113:4 耶和華超乎萬民之上;他的榮耀高過諸天。

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
113:5 誰像耶和華我們的 神呢?他坐在至高之處,

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, dwelleth...: Heb. exalteth himself to dwell
113:6 自己謙卑,觀看天上地下的事。

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
113:7 他從灰塵裡抬舉貧寒人,從糞堆中提拔窮乏人,

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
113:8 使他們與王子同坐,就是與本國的王子同坐。

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
113:9 他使不能生育的婦人安居家中,為多子的樂母。你們要讚美耶和華!

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. to keep...: Heb. to dwell in an house
