(12-16) 詩 Psalm 112:1-10

和合本NKJV
1 你們要讚美耶和華!

      敬畏耶和華,甚喜愛祂命令的,
      這人便為有福!

2 他的後裔在世必強盛,
      正直人的後代必要蒙福。

3 他家中有貨物,有錢財;
      他的公義存到永遠!

4 正直人在黑暗中,
      有光向他發現。
      他有恩惠,有憐憫,有公義。

5 施恩與人、借貸與人的,
      這人事情順利;
      他被審判的時候,
      要訴明自己的冤。

6 他永不動搖。
      義人被記念,直到永遠。

7 他必不怕兇惡的信息,
      他心堅定,倚靠耶和華。

8 他心確定,總不懼怕,
      直到他看見敵人遭報。

9 他施捨錢財,
      賙濟貧窮;
      他的仁義存到永遠。
      他的角必被高舉,大有榮耀。

10 惡人看見便惱恨,
      必咬牙而消化;
      惡人的心願要歸滅絕。
1 Praise the LORD!

      Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
      Who delights greatly in His commandments.

2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;
      The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be in his house,
      And his righteousness endures forever.

4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
      He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man deals graciously and lends;
      He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he will never be shaken;
      The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
      His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established;
      He will not be afraid,
      Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9 He has dispersed abroad,
      He has given to the poor,
      His righteousness endures forever;
      His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;
      He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
      The desire of the wicked shall perish.


Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
詩 Psalm 112:4 正直人在黑暗中,有光向他發現。他有恩惠,有憐憫,有公義。 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

昨天的讚美經文直接讚美神,今天這一段在結構上跟昨天的一致,通過神對義人的祝福繼續讚美神。建議大家把這兩篇經文對照著一起看。

敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端,凡遵行祂命令的是聰明人。神記念、賜福與正直人,首先就是稱他為義,使他的公義能存道永遠,因為其他一切的祝福都源於此。神不僅賜給我們陽光、雨水、空氣、食物,更為我們捨了愛子耶穌;義人也效法神,施捨錢財、貨物,賙濟貧窮,施恩與人,實踐了施比受更為有福。讚美神,我們死在過犯罪惡黑暗中,祂叫我們活過來,有恩惠,有憐憫,有公義;讚美神,祂是我們的滿足,因此我們無論在什麼景況都可以知足,並施恩與人;讚美神,主的平安在我心中,我必不致動搖,不論何環境,我已蒙主引領,我心靈得安寧;讚美神,祂向愛祂、守祂誡命的人發慈愛,直到千代!
The scripture yesterday praises God directly, the one today is structurally identical to the one yesterday, and continues to praise God through His blessings to the righteous. It is recommended that you read both psalms together.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. God remembers and blesses the upright, first of all by calling him righteous, so that his righteousness can endure forever, because all other blessings stem from it. God not only gives us sunlight, rain, air and food, He also forsook His beloved Son Jesus; the righteous also imitates God, by dispersing abroad his wealth and riches, giving to the poor, and dealing graciously, practicing "it is more blessed to give than to receive". Praise God, we were dead in trespasses and sins, yet He made us alive, gracious, full of compassion and righteous; praise God, He is our satisfaction, so we are content in whatever state we are, and deal graciously; praise God, the peace of the Lord is in my heart, I shall never be shaken, whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know, it is well with my soul; praise God, He shows mercy to thousands of generations to those who love Him and keep His commandments!
