2 Samuel 22:1
繁體中文
Original em inglês
This song, which is found with scarcely any material variation as Psalm 18, and with the words of this first verse for its title, belongs to the early part of David's reign when he was recently established upon the throne of all Israel, and when his final triumph over the house of Saul, and over the pagan nations 2 Samuel 22:44-46, Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, Ammonites, and Edomites, was still fresh 2 Samuel 21. For a commentary on the separate verses the reader is referred to the commentary on Psalm 18.
The last words of David - i. e., his last Psalm, his last "words of song" 2 Samuel 22:1. The insertion of this Psalm, which is not in the Book of Psalms, was probably suggested by the insertion of the long Psalm in 2 Samuel 22.
David the son of Jesse said ... - The original word for "said" is used between 200 and 300 times in the phrase, "saith the Lord," designating the word of God in the mouth of the prophet. It is only applied to the words of a man here, and in the strikingly similar passage Numbers 24:3-4, Numbers 24:15-16, and in Proverbs 30:1; and in all these places the words spoken are inspired words. The description of David is divided into four clauses, which correspond to and balance each other.
這首詩歌以詩篇第十八篇(Psalm 18)的形式出現,兩者幾乎沒有任何實質差異,並以本章第一節的話作為其標題。它屬於大衛作王的早期,那時他剛剛被立在全以色列的王位上,他對掃羅家的最終勝利,以及對外邦列國——非利士人、摩押人、亞蘭人、亞捫人、以東人(2 Samuel 22:44-46)——的勝利,仍然記憶猶新(2 Samuel 21)。至於各節的逐節註釋,請讀者參閱詩篇第十八篇的註釋。
「大衛末了的話」——意即他最後的詩篇,他最後的「歌中之言」(2 Samuel 22:1)。這首未收錄於詩篇書卷中的詩之所以被插入,很可能是受 2 Samuel 22 那首長詩被插入一事的啟發。
「耶西的兒子大衛……說」——原文譯作「說」的那個詞,在「耶和華如此說」這一短語中出現了二百至三百次,指明神的信息藉先知之口傳出。惟有在此處,以及在與此極為相似的經文(Numbers 24:3-4;Numbers 24:15-16)和 Proverbs 30:1 中,這詞才用於人的話;而在所有這些地方,所說的話都是受默示的話。對大衛的描述分為四個子句,彼此對應、互相平衡。
