Ps 88:1-18.
繁體中文
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.

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

希幔與以探（見

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。
