Ps 88:1-18.

Abrir pasaje

繁體中文

Ps 88:1-18.

用麻哈拉——或指一種樂器,如魯特琴,用作伴唱(Leannoth,「用以歌唱」);或如另一些人所見,是一個隱喻式的標題(見

Ps 5:1、

Ps 22:1、

及

Ps 45:1,

題註),指明主題——即「疾病,為使人謙卑」,因屬靈的病症常以疾病來代表(參

Ps 6:5, 6; 22:14, 15

等)。關於其他詞語,見

Ps 42:1

及

Ps 32:1。

希幔與以探(見

Ps 89:1,

題註)是大衛的歌唱者

(1Ch 6:18, 33; 15:17),

屬哥轄族。若

(1Ki 4:31; 1Ch 2:6)

所指即此二人,他們可能被收納入猶大支派。本篇雖被稱為「歌」——通常暗示喜樂

(Ps 83:1)——

但其風格與內容卻十分消沉;然而向神的呼求顯示出信心,我們可以設想「歌」一詞也可延伸至這類作品。

1, 2. 所用詞語的比較,見

Ps 22:2; 31:2。

Original en inglés

Ps 88:1-18.

Upon Mahalath--either an instrument, as a lute, to be used as an accompaniment (Leannoth, "for singing") or, as others think, an enigmatic title (see on

Ps 5:1,

Ps 22:1,

and

Ps 45:1,

titles), denoting the subject--that is, "sickness or disease, for humbling," the idea of spiritual maladies being often represented by disease (compare

Ps 6:5, 6; 22:14, 15,

&c.). On the other terms, see on

Ps 42:1

and

Ps 32:1.

Heman and Ethan (see on

Ps 89:1,

title) were David's singers

(1Ch 6:18, 33; 15:17),

of the family of Kohath. If the persons alluded to

(1Ki 4:31; 1Ch 2:6),

they were probably adopted into the tribe of Judah. Though called a song, which usually implies joy

(Ps 83:1),

both the style and matter of the Psalm are very despondent; yet the appeals to God evince faith, and we may suppose that the word "song" might be extended to such compositions.

1, 2. Compare on the terms used,

Ps 22:2; 31:2.
