Psalms Kapitel 125
1
Ps 125:1-5.
简体中文
Englisches Original
Ps 125:1-5.
God honors the confidence of His people, by protection and deliverance, and leaves hypocrites to the doom of the wicked.
1, 2. Mount Zion--as an emblem of permanence, and locality of Jerusalem as one of security, represent the firm and protected condition of God's people (compare
Ps 46:5),
supported not only by Providence, but by covenant promise. Even the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but God's kindness shall not depart, nor His covenant of peace be removed
(Isa 54:10).
They that trust--are "His people,"
(Ps 125:2).

3. 虽然神也许暂时将他们交在「杖」或权能
(Ps 2:9)
之下,并在恶人的欺压之下,作为管教,却不允许他们受试探以至于犯罪
(1Co 10:13)。 恶人不过是一根惩治的杖,不是毁灭的剑;连这杖也不常(「停留」)在他们身上,免得他们被试探陷入绝望和背道
(Ps 73:13, 14)。 神甚至可能试炼他的百姓到极处:当我们眼前只见绝望时,他就拯救我们,在死中赐生命,在咒诅中赐福
(2Co 1:8, 9)
[LUTHER]。
产业——那分,按字面是「迦南」,属灵上是那归于义人的圣洁与福乐的属天产业。罪的权势不应恒久介于信徒与他的产业之间。
Englisches Original
3. Though God may leave them for a time under the "rod," or power
(Ps 2:9),
and oppression of the wicked for a time, as a chastisement, He will not suffer them to be tempted so as to fall into sin
(1Co 10:13).
The wicked shall only prove a correcting rod to them, not a destroying sword; even this rod shall not remain ("rest") on them, lest they be tempted to despair and apostasy
(Ps 73:13, 14).
God may even try His people to the uttermost: when nothing is before our eyes but pure despair, then He delivers us and gives life in death, and makes us blessed in the curse
(2Co 1:8, 9)
[LUTHER].
the lot--the possession, literally, "Canaan," spiritually, the heavenly inheritance of holiness and bliss which is appointed to the righteous. Sin's dominion shall not permanently come between the believer and his inheritance.

5. 那些(在试探之下)恒久偏向一边的人,证明他们是假冒为善的人,他们的分必与恶人同
(Ps 28:3)。
弯曲的路——
(比较
De 9:16; Mal 2:8, 9)。
他们的——是强调的;「弯曲的路」源自他们自己的心。真以色列在此与假以色列分别出来。圣经处处反对那犹太人的错觉:仅仅外面的血统能叫人得救
(Ro 2:28, 29; 9:6, 7; Ga 6:16)。 由罪所引向的旁径偏离生命之路。
Englisches Original
5. Those who turn aside (under temptation) permanently show that they are hypocrites, and their lot or portion shall be with the wicked
(Ps 28:3).
crooked ways--(Compare
De 9:16; Mal 2:8, 9).
their--is emphatic; the "crooked ways" proceed from their own hearts. The true Israel is here distinguished from the false. Scripture everywhere opposes the Jewish delusion that mere outward descent would save
(Ro 2:28, 29; 9:6, 7; Ga 6:16).
The byways of sin from the way of life.
Ps 125:1-5.
神以其保护与拯救尊重祂子民的信赖,却任凭假冒为善者归于恶人的结局。
1, 2. 锡安山(Mount Zion)——作为恒久的象征,而耶路撒冷作为稳固之地,一同代表神子民坚定而受保护的状况(参
Ps 46:5)——这状况不仅因护理而得支撑,更因圣约的应许而立定。即或大山挪开,小山迁移,神的慈爱仍不离开,祂平安的约也不撤销(Isa 54:10)。
倚靠的人(They that trust)——就是“祂的子民”(Ps 125:2)。
