Ps 88:1-18.
简体中文
영문 원문
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.

Ps 88:1-18.
调用麻哈拉——或是一种乐器，如瑟，用作伴奏（利暗俄，即"用以歌唱"），或如另一些人所以为，是一个隐晦的题名（见
Ps 5:1、 Ps 22:1、
Ps 45:1
题注），表示主题——即"为谦卑的疾病或病患"，因属灵的疾病常以疾病来表示（参
Ps 6:5, 6; 22:14, 15
等）。关于其他术语，见
Ps 42:1
和
Ps 32:1
题注。希幔和以探（见
Ps 89:1
题注）是大卫的歌唱者（
1Ch 6:18, 33; 15:17），
属哥辖族。若
1Ki 4:31； 1Ch 2:6
所指的是这二人，他们大概是收养入犹大支派的。本篇虽称为歌（歌通常意味喜乐，
Ps 83:1），
其风格和内容却极其沮丧；然而向神的呼吁表明仍有信心，我们可以设想"歌"一词也可以引申到这类作品。
1, 2. 所用术语参
Ps 22:2; 31:2。
