Ps 118:1-29.
简体中文
bản gốc tiếng anh
Ps 118:1-29.
After invoking others to unite in praise, the writer celebrates God's protecting and delivering care towards him, and then represents himself and the people of God as entering the sanctuary and uniting in solemn praise, with prayer for a continued blessing. Whether composed by David on his accession to power, or by some later writer in memory of the restoration from Babylon, its tone is joyful and trusting, and, in describing the fortune and destiny of the Jewish Church and its visible head, it is typically prophetical of the Christian Church and her greater and invisible Head.
1-4. The trine repetitions are emphatic (compare
Ps 118:10-12, 15, 16; 115:12, 13).
Let . . . say--Oh! that Israel may say.
now--as in
Ps 115:2;
so in
Ps 118:3, 4.
After "now say" supply "give thanks."
that his mercy--or, "for His mercy."

22, 23. 这些话被基督
(Mt 21:42)
应用到自己身上，作为教会根基（比较
Ac 4:11; Eph 2:20; 1Pe 2:4, 7)。
此处可指神奇妙地把那为列国掌权者所藐视的人高举到权力和影响。无论（见
Ps 118:1
注释）是指大卫还是所罗巴伯（比较
Hag 2:2; Zec 4:7-10)，此处都预表神更奇妙的作为——把那被钉十字架、被视为骗子的基督高举为他教会的元首、救主。
bản gốc tiếng anh
22, 23. These words are applied by Christ
(Mt 21:42)
to Himself, as the foundation of the Church (compare
Ac 4:11; Eph 2:20; 1Pe 2:4, 7).
It may here denote God's wondrous exaltation to power and influence of him whom the rulers of the nation despised. Whether (see on
Ps 118:1)
David or Zerubbabel (compare
Hag 2:2; Zec 4:7-10)
be primarily meant, there is here typically represented God's more wonderful doings in exalting Christ, crucified as an impostor, to be the Prince and Saviour and Head of His Church.

Ps 115:2,
&c., as to now) a form of prayer

since, in our use, of praise.
26

26. 奉主名来——如上文所提示，这话可应用于犹太教会那位可见的元首进入圣所——作为引领行列的；在预表上，它属于那作此短语成为其称号者

bản gốc tiếng anh
26. he that cometh . . . Lord--As above intimated, this may be applied to the visible head of the Jewish Church entering the sanctuary, as leading the procession; typically it belongs to Him of whom the phrase became an epithet
(Mal 3:1; Mt 21:9).

With the sacrificial victim brought bound to the altar is united the more spiritual offering of praise
(Ps 50:14, 23),
expressed in the terms with which the Psalm opened.
Ps 118:1-29.
作者在邀请他人一同赞美之后，颂扬神对他的保护与拯救之眷顾，继而描绘自己与神的子民进入圣所，一同献上庄严的赞美，并祈求持续赐福。本诗或为大卫登基掌权时所作，或为后人为纪念从巴比伦归回而作；无论属何者，其基调都是喜乐与信靠。在描述犹太教会及其有形元首的命运与归宿时，它预表了基督教会及其更大、不可见的元首。
1-4. 这三重的重复是强调性的（参
Ps 118:10-12, 15, 16; 115:12, 13）。
愿……说（Let . . . say）——但愿以色列能如此说。
如今（now）——如 Ps 115:2 所言；Ps 118:3, 4 亦然。在“如今说”之后，应补上“称谢”。
他的慈爱（that his mercy）——或作“因他的慈爱”。
