旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第83章

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
诗篇第八十三篇   第 83 篇 

  诗 83:5-8> 古代有反神的联盟,现代是不是也有? 

  83:5-8 这里讲的反神联盟是指一些王纠集在一起,同约沙法和犹大百姓争战(参代下第 20 章)。这首诗的作者叫亚萨,但可以指亚萨或他的一个后裔。亚萨有一个后裔叫雅哈悉,预言了犹大的胜利(参代下 20:13-17 )。诗人说,这反犹大的联盟实际上就是反对神。因此雅哈悉说:“胜败不在乎你们,乃在乎神”(代下 20:15 )。神“是全地以上的至高者”( 83:18 ),以色列的敌人也被认为是神的敌人。 

  诗 83:6> 83:6 夏甲人可能是夏甲的后裔(参创 21:8-21 )。 

  诗 83:8-11> 罗得,我们也认识的;至于他的后裔…… 

  83:8-11 “罗得的后裔”指的是摩押人和亚扪人(参创 19:36-38 )。西西拉是迦南王耶宾的军队统帅,他被一个妇女所杀(参士4章)。西伊伯和俄立的故事,参看士师记 7 章 25 节;西巴和撒慕拿的故事参看士师记 8 章 21 节。 

  诗 83:13-18> 人在受围困时才寻求神的帮助,我是否也要到遭困时才求告神的名? 

  83:13-18 围困犹大的是外邦国家,他们希望犹大灭亡。诗人求神将这些国家像碎秸一样吹走,直到他们认识到主是全地的万王之王。有时候我们必须在逆境中谦卑才得以抬头见主;我们必须被击败才取得最后的胜利。在顺利的时候寻求主,难道不比等到审判临头更好吗?──《灵修版圣经注释》
