Ps 68:1-35.
英文原文
Ps 68:1-35.
This is a Psalm-song (see on
Ps 30:1,
title), perhaps suggested by David's victories, which secured his throne and gave rest to the nation. In general terms, the judgment of God on the wicked, and the equity and goodness of His government to the pious, are celebrated. The sentiment is illustrated by examples of God's dealings, cited from the Jewish history and related in highly poetical terms. Hence the writer intimates an expectation of equal and even greater triumphs and summons all nations to unite in praises of the God of Israel. The Psalm is evidently typical of the relation which God, in the person of His Son, sustains to the Church (compare
Ps 68:18).

Nu 10:35; Ps 1:4; 22:14,

before him--as in
Ps 68:2,
from His presence, as dreaded; but in

in His presence, as under His protection

13. 有人译作：「当你们躺在边界之间，你们要」等，将应许之地边界或界限中那平安的安息，比作温柔鸽子的谚语之美。另有人将译作「锅」的词理解为洞穴被烟熏黑的洞壁——以色列人在士师时代曾躲避仇敌于其中；或取全段为比喻，指悬挂炊具的那排石头；如此便在他们先前低微受苦之状态与他们后来的兴旺之间画一对比。无论何解，一个安静的平安状态都借美丽的比喻来描述。
英文原文
13. Some translate this, "When ye shall lie between the borders, ye shall," &c., comparing the peaceful rest in the borders or limits of the promised land to the proverbial beauty of a gentle dove. Others understand by the word rendered "pots," the smoked sides of caves, in which the Israelites took refuge from enemies in the times of the judges; or, taking the whole figuratively, the rows of stones on which cooking vessels were hung; and thus that a contrast is drawn between their former low and afflicted state and their succeeding prosperity. In either case, a state of quiet and peace is described by a beautiful figure.

千千万万的天使——按字面作「千千万万的重复」，或「万千之千」——即战车。我们译本中「天使」一词也许是从
De 33:2
和 Ga 3:19 引入的。当然，他们是暗示的，作为战车的御者。
如……西奈，在圣所——即他如昔日在西奈般在锡安显现。
英文原文
17. and, to the assertion of God's purpose to make it His dwelling, is added evidence of His protecting care. He is described as in the midst of His heavenly armies--
thousands of angels--literally, "thousands of repetitions," or, "thousands of thousands"--that is, of chariots. The word "angels" was perhaps introduced in our version, from
De 33:2, and Ga 3:19.

叫耶和华神可以住——或按字面作「为居住，主神」（比较
Ps 68:16)—— 即以这山、他的百姓或教会，为他的居所。本篇预表教会在其神圣领袖基督之下所得的胜利。那位「在旷野会幕中与教会同在的」
(Ac 7:38)
正是本篇所描述的这理想升天中的主。故此保罗
(Eph 4:8)
应用这话来描述他真实的升天——那时，既已征服罪、死和地狱，荣耀之主凯旋地进入天上，由敬拜的天使大队相伴，坐在宝座上执掌永恒的国权。「在人（或按字面：在人中）受了供献」一语，保罗作「将恩赐赐给人」。两者都描述得胜者的举动——接受并分发掠物。诗篇作者用「受」表明成功，保罗用「赐」表明得胜者既降伏仇敌便赏赐朋友的举动。保罗特别应用本段，是为证明基督的高举。旧约所描绘他降下和升上之事，与他历史相符。那降下的也就是那升上的。升上既是他得胜的一项，如今仍是；他在卑微中必须被认作我们的代赎祭物和我们认信的大祭司，也必须被敬拜为教会元首和她一切属灵益处的赐予者。
英文原文
18. From the scene of conquest He ascends to His throne, leading--
captivity captive--or, "many captives captive"
(Jud 5:12).
received gifts for men--accepting their homage, even when forced, as that of rebels.
that the Lord God might dwell--or literally, "to dwell, O Lord God" (compare
Ps 68:16)
--that is, to make this hill, His people or Church, His dwelling. This Psalm typifies the conquests of the Church under her divine leader, Christ. He, indeed, "who was with the Church in the wilderness"
(Ac 7:38)
is the Lord, described in this ideal ascension. Hence Paul
(Eph 4:8)
applies this language to describe His real ascension, when, having conquered sin, death, and hell, the Lord of glory triumphantly entered heaven, attended by throngs of adoring angels, to sit on the throne and wield the scepter of an eternal dominion. The phrase "received gifts for (or literally, among) men" is by Paul, "gave gifts to men." Both describe the acts of a conqueror, who receives and distributes spoils. The Psalmist uses "receiving" as evincing the success, Paul "gave" as the act, of the conqueror, who, having subdued his enemies, proceeds to reward his friends. The special application of the passage by Paul was in proof of Christ's exaltation. What the Old Testament represents of His descending and ascending corresponds with His history. He who descended is the same who has ascended. As then ascension was an element of His triumph, so is it now; and He, who, in His humiliation, must be recognized as our vicarious sacrifice and the High Priest of our profession, must also be adored as Head of His Church and author of all her spiritual benefits.

的比喻表示征服的完全，并不含任何野蛮的残忍（比较
2Ki 9:36; Isa 63:1-6; Jer 15:3)。
英文原文
22. Former examples of God's deliverance are generalized: as He has done, so He will do.
from Bashan--the farthest region; and--
depths of the sea--the severest afflictions. Out of all, God will bring them. The figures of

Ps 68:1-35.
这是一首诗歌（Psalm-song）（见
Ps 30:1
题注），或许是由大卫的诸次胜利所引发——那些胜利巩固了他的王位，并为国家带来了安息。全诗笼统地颂扬神对恶人的审判，以及祂对敬虔人治理的公允与良善。这些意旨借着举出的实例而得以阐明——这些实例取自犹太历史，并以高度诗化的语言加以叙述。因此作者暗示，他期待着同等、甚至更大的胜利，并呼召万国一同赞美以色列的神。本诗显然预表了神在祂儿子位格中与教会所维持的关系（参
Ps 68:18）。
1-3. 关于这里所用的比喻，参
Nu 10:35；Ps 1:4; 22:14。
在他面前（before him）——如 Ps 68:2 所言，指离开祂的面（令人畏惧）；但 Ps 68:3 所言，乃在祂面前（蒙祂保护）（Ps 61:7）。
