Ps 105:1-45.
英文原文
Ps 105:1-45.
After an exhortation to praise God, addressed especially to the chosen people, the writer presents the special reason for praise, in a summary of their history from the calling of Abraham to their settlement in Canaan, and reminds them that their obedience was the end of all God's gracious dealings.
1. call . . . name--
(Ps 79:6; Ro 10:13).
Call on Him, according to His historically manifested glory. After the example of Abraham, who, as often as God acquired for Himself a name in guiding him, called in solemn worship upon the name of the Lord
(Ge 12:8; 13:4).
among the people--or, "peoples"
(Ps 18:49).
deeds--or, "wonders"
(Ps 103:7).

3, 4. 寻求神的恩惠是获得真福气的唯一真正途径,而他的能力
[Ps 105:4]
是保护的真实唯一来源
(比较
Ps 32:11; 40:16)。
荣耀……名——以他的完美为夸。世界以其马车辆马夸口,以攻击伏于尘土中的神的教会;但我们的盼望乃在那名上,即神对他百姓的能力与慈爱,彰显于过去的拯救中。
英文原文
3, 4. Seeking God's favor is the only true mode of getting true happiness, and His strength
[Ps 105:4]
is the only true source of protection (compare
Ps 32:11; 40:16).
Glory . . . name--boast in His perfections. The world glories in its horses and chariots against the Church of God lying in the dust; but our hope is in the name, that is, the power and love of God to His people, manifested in past deliverances.

7. 更当译作:「他耶和华是我们的神。」他的名号「耶和华」表明:这位不变的自存者使事物成为如此,即成就他的应许,因此必不丢弃他的子民。虽然这特别关于他的子民,他却也是统管万有的神。
英文原文
7. Rather, "He, Jehovah, is our God." His title, "JEHOVAH," implies that He, the unchangeable, self-existing Being, makes things to be, that is, fulfils His promises, and therefore will not forsake His people. Though specially of His people, He is God over all.

英文原文
10, 11. Alluding to God's promise to Jacob
(Ge 28:13).
Out of the whole storehouse of the promises of God, only one is prominently brought forward, namely, that concerning the possession of Canaan

我的先知——在类似意义上,比较

「受膏者」是神那些献身事奉他的器皿,「在他们里面(如法老论约瑟所说,
Ge 41:38)有神的灵」[HENGSTENBERG]。
英文原文
15. Touch not--referring to
Ge 26:11,

Ps 16:10
注释),或作「他进入铁中」,或他被绑于他的忧伤(比较
Ps 3:2; 11:1)。
「灵魂」代指全人,因为被囚之人的灵魂受苦比身体更甚。约瑟被引用作为那些「在苦难和铁捆中」之人的合适预表
(Ps 107:10)。
英文原文

Ps 16:10),
or, "he came into iron," or, he was bound to his grief (compare
Ps 3:2; 11:1).
The "soul" is put for the whole person, because the soul of the captive suffers still more than the body. Joseph is referred to as being an appropriate type of those "bound in affliction and iron"

Ge 41:40, 44,
in which not literal fettering, but commanding obedience, is spoken of. It refers to
Ps 105:18.
The soul that was once bound itself now binds others, even princes. The same moral binding is assigned to the saints

1Sa 10:9)。
「扫罗转身离别(神的先知)撒母耳,神就赐(旁注:转)他另一个心」(见
Ex 1:8
等)。无论恶人对神的百姓谋何恶事,神连他的心也拘束,使他不能定一计除非神所许可。如此以赛亚
(Isa 43:17)
说是神把法老的军队领出来追赶以色列,以自取灭亡
(Ex 4:21; 7:3)。
英文原文
25. turned their heart--God controls men's free acts (compare
1Sa 10:9).
"When Saul had turned his back to go from (God's prophet) Samuel, God turned (Margin) him another heart" (see
Ex 1:8,
&c.). Whatever evil the wicked man plots against God's people, God holds bound even his heart, so as not to lay a single plan except what God permits. Thus Isaiah
(Isa 43:17)
says it was God who brought forth the army of Pharaoh to pursue Israel to their own destruction
(Ex 4:21; 7:3).

(Ps 145:5, 旁记)。比较同样的希伯来语法
(Ps 65:3, 旁记)。
英文原文
27. signs--literally, "words of signs," or rather, as "words" in Hebrew means "things," "things of His signs," that is, His marvellous tokens of power
(Ps 145:5,
Margin). Compare the same Hebraism
(Ps 65:3,
Margin).

28-36. 第九灾被突出,作为特别奇妙。
他们没有悖逆——摩西和亚伦立即顺从神
(Heb 11:27); (比较
Ex 7:1-11:10
和 Ps 78:44-51, 本摘要大体与之相符)。或更当译作:此处的「黑暗」是比喻的
(Jer 13:16), 字面之黑暗之灾
(Ex 10:22, 23)
只是被暗指为神怒气的象征——这怒气在一切灾期间如乌云笼罩埃及。故此它被置于首位,在历史的顺序之外。如此,「他们不再悖逆他的话」,是指埃及人。每当神降灾于他们,他们便预备让以色列去,只在灾止时又拒绝。
他的话——他让以色列去的命令
[HENGSTENBERG]。十灾中只提八项,略去第五灾——畜疫,和第六灾——疮。
英文原文
28-36. The ninth plague is made prominent as peculiarly wonderful.
they rebelled not--Moses and Aaron promptly obeyed God
(Heb 11:27);
(compare
Ex 7:1-11:10 and Ps 78:44-51,
with which this summary substantially agrees). Or, rather, the "darkness" here is figurative
(Jer 13:16),
the literal plague of darkness
(Ex 10:22, 23)
being only alluded to as the symbol of God's wrath which overhung Egypt as a dark cloud during all the plagues. Hence, it is placed first, out of the historical order. Thus, "They rebelled not (that is, no longer) against His word," refers to the Egyptians. Whenever God sent a plague on them, they were ready to let Israel go, though refusing when the plague ceased.
his word--His command to let Israel go [HENGSTENBERG]. Of the ten plagues, only eight are mentioned, the fifth, the murrain of beasts, and the sixth, the boils, being omitted.

冰雹代替雨——不是滋润的阵雨,而是毁坏树木的冰雹。这构成向植物界的过渡。
Ps 105:34
的蝗虫同样对植物具毁灭性。
英文原文
32. gave them--referring to
Le 26:4,
"I give you rain in due season." His "gift" to Israel's foes is one of a very different kind from that bestowed on His people.
hail for rain--instead of fertilizing showers, hail destructive to trees. This forms the transition to the vegetable kingdom. The locusts in

Ex 12:35).

英文原文
39. covering--in sense of protection (compare
Ex 13:21; Nu 10:34).

Ex 2:24
是根本经文[HENGSTENBERG]。(2)使他们可以顺服。亚伯拉罕遵守神的诫命,是与他所立之约的目的

记念……和亚伯拉罕——或作「记念他的圣言(即所确认的约)与亚伯拉罕」。
英文原文
42-45. The reasons for these dealings: (1) God's faithfulness to His covenant, "His holy promise" of Canaan, is the fountain whence flowed so many acts of marvellous kindness to His people (compare
Ps 105:8, 11).
Ex 2:24
is the fundamental passage [HENGSTENBERG]. (2) That they might be obedient. The observance of God's commands by Abraham was the object of the covenant with him
(Ge 18:19),
as it was also the object of the covenant with Israel, that they might observe God's statutes.

1. 求告……名——
(Ps 79:6; Ro 10:13)。
即按祂历史上所彰显的荣耀求告祂。正如亚伯拉罕的榜样:每当神在引导他时为自己立名,他就以肃敬的敬拜求告耶和华的名(
Ge 12:8; 13:4)。
在万民中——或作"万民中"(
Ps 18:49)。
奇事——或作"作为"(
