Ps 125:1-5.
繁體中文
Originale inglese
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. 雖然神可能暫時讓他們落在惡人的「杖」或權勢
(Ps 2:9)
與欺壓之下,作為管教,卻不會任憑他們受試探以至於陷入罪中
(1Co 10:13)。
惡人對他們不過是懲治的杖,不是毀滅的劍;這杖也不會長久(「安息」)停在他們身上,免得他們被引誘陷於絕望與背道
(Ps 73:13, 14)。
神甚至可能將祂的百姓試煉到極處:當眼前除了絕望別無所有時,祂便施行拯救,在死中賜生命,在咒詛中使我們蒙福
(2Co 1:8, 9)
[路德]。
產業——指所得之地,按字面是「迦南」,屬靈意義上則是為義人所定的聖潔與福樂的天上產業。罪的轄治不會長久橫亘在信徒與他的產業之間。

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(在試探中)偏行己路的人,持久如此便表明他們是假冒為善的,他們的分將與惡人一同
(Ps 28:3)。
彎曲的路——(參
De 9:16; Mal 2:8, 9)。
他們的——是強調;這「彎曲的路」出自他們自己的心。這裏將真以色列人與假以色列人區分開來。聖經各處都反對猶太人以為單憑外在血統便能得救的錯覺
(Ro 2:28, 29; 9:6, 7; Ga 6:16)。
即罪人的旁門小道,與生命之道相對。

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.
神以保護與拯救尊榮祂子民的信心,並任憑假冒為善者遭與惡人相同的厄運。
1, 2. 錫安山——作為永存的象徵,而耶路撒冷的所在作為安全的表徵,代表神子民堅定且受保護的狀態(參
Ps 46:5),
這不僅有護理支持,也有聖約的應許為據。大山可以挪開,小山可以遷移,但神的慈愛必不離開,祂的平安之約也必不廢去
(Isa 54:10)。
倚靠的人——即「祂的子民」
(Ps 125:2)。
