终结的赞美

THE CONSUMMATE PRAISE
1读经：诗篇一百四十六至一百五十篇。在本篇信息中，我们要说到末了五篇诗，就是一百四十六至一百五十篇。因为这些诗的每一篇都开始并结束于『阿利路亚』，所以这五篇诗被称为阿利路亚诗篇。七十士译本说，一百四十六至一百四十九篇是哈该和撒迦利亚在被掳归回以后写成的。神的子民从被掳中归回，乃是极大的释放和复兴。
1Scripture Reading: Psa. 146—150 In this message we will cover the last five psalms, Psalms 146 through 150. Because each of these psalms begins and ends with the word “Hallelujah,” these five psalms are called Hallelujah psalms. The Septuagint says that Psalms 146 to 149 were written by Haggai and Zechariah after their return from captivity. The return of God’sp eople from captivity was a great release and restoration
2有些解经家说，诗篇的五卷相当于摩西所写的五经：创世记、出埃及记、利未记、民数记、申命记。其他的解经家说，诗篇是全本圣经的精粹。还有些解经家高举一百四十六至一百五十篇。然而，这些诗篇关于神的经纶和分赐启示得很少，因为写这些诗篇的时候，『属灵的文明』还相当原始。诗篇写成以后，圣经中神圣的启示已进步了许多。为这缘故，一百四十六至一百五十篇无法与以弗所书相比。
2Some expositors say that the five books of the Psalms correspond to the five books of the law written by Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Other expositors say that the Psalms are an abstract of the entire Bible. Certain expositors exalt Psalms 146 through 150. However, these psalms reveal very little concerning God’secon o my and dispensing, for when they were written the “spiritual civilization” was still quite primitive. Since the book of Psalms was written, the divine revelation in the Scriptures has progressed very much. For this reason, Psalms 146 through 150 cannot compare with the book of Ephesians
壹 这终结的赞美
I. THIS CONSUMMATE PRAISING CORRESPONDING
符合启示录末了的赞美
WITH THAT AT THE END OF REVELATION
3本篇信息说到诗篇一百四十六至一百五十篇，我给牠的题目是『终结的赞美』。这终结的赞美符合启示录末了的赞美。启示录十九章一节说，『阿利路亚！救恩、荣耀、能力，都属于我们6的神。』这里作者为著神的救恩、荣耀、能力赞美神。六节说，『阿利路亚！因为主我们的神，全能者，作王了。』
3I have entitled this message on Psalms 146 through 1 5 0 “The Consummate Praise.” This consummate praise corresponds with that at the end of Revelation. Revelation 19:1 says, “Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power are of our God.” Here God is praised for His salvation, glory, and power. Verse says, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.”
4贰因耶和华从锡安作王而赞美祂诗篇一百四十六篇讲到因耶和华从锡安作王而赞美祂。
4II. PRAISING JEHOVAH FOR HIS REIGNING FROM ZION Psalm 146 is on praising Jehovah for His reigning from Zion
一 祂是祂圣民的帮助
A. He Being the Help of His Saints
5三至五节是因耶和华是祂圣民的帮助而赞美祂。三至四节说出这篇诗的背景。三节说：『你们不要信靠君王，不要信靠世人，他一点不能帮助。』在被掳时出生的哈该和撒迦利亚，看见巴比伦王和波斯王，这就是他们说我们不该信靠君王的原因。四节说到世人：『他的气一断，就归回尘土；他所打算的，当日就销灭了。』巴比伦王和波斯王所打算的销灭了。五节继续说，『以雅各的神为帮助，仰望耶和华他神的，这人便为有福。』作者知道归回的俘虏是有福的人。二祂造了天地万物六节说，耶和华造天、地、海、和其中的万物；祂守信实，直到永远。
5Verses 3 through 5 are a praise to Jehovah for His being the help of His saints. In verses 3 and 4 we have the background of the psalm. Verse 3 says, “Do not trust in princes, / In a son of man, with whom there is no salvation.” Haggai and Zechariah, who were born in captivity, saw the kings of Babylon and Persia, and this was why they said that we should not trust in princes. Verse 4, referring to a son of man, says, “His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; / On that day his plans perish.” The plans of the Babylonian and Persian kings perished. Verse 5 continues, “Blessed is the man whose help is the God of Jacob, / Whose hope is in Jehovah his God.” The writer knew that the returned captives were the blessed ones. B. He Having Created Heaven, Earth, and All Things Verse 6 says that Jehovah made heaven, earth, and the sea and all things in them and that He keeps faith forever.
三 祂眷顾穷乏人
C. He Taking Care of the Needy Ones
6七至八节告诉我们，耶和华为受欺压的伸冤，赐食物与饥饿的，释放被囚的，开了瞎子的眼睛，扶起被压下的人，并喜爱义人。照著九节，祂也保护寄居的，扶持孤儿和寡妇，却使恶人的道路弯曲。
6Verses 7 and 8 tell us that Jehovah executes judgment for the oppressed, gives food to the famished, frees the prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, raises up those who are bowed down, and loves the righteous. According to verse 9, He also preserves the sojourners and upholds the orphan and the widow, but He subverts the way of the wicked
四 祂作王直到永永远远
D. He Reigning Forever and Ever
7十节结束于耶和华要作王，直到永永远远。
7Verse 10 concludes with the declaration that Jehovah will reign forever and ever
8一百四十六篇是美好的诗。然而，作者仍持守善恶的原则，并照著善恶知识而写。这里我们没有看见任何关于基督、那灵、生命和召会的事。我们需要看见，今天基督是在我们灵里的那灵，基督的恩典也在我们灵里。
8Psalm 146 is a good psalm. However, the writer still held to the principle of good and evil and wrote according to the knowledge of good and evil. Here we do not see anything concerning Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church. We need to [509] see that today Christ is the Spirit in our spirit and that the grace of Christ also is in our spirit
参 因耶路撒冷重建
III. PRAISING JEHOVAH
而赞美耶和华
FOR THE REBUILDING OF JERUSALEM
9一百四十七篇讲到因耶路撒冷重建而赞美耶和华。二节上半说，『耶和华建造耶路撒冷。』
9Psalm 147 is on praising Jehovah for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Verse 2a says, “Jehovah builds up Jerusalem
一 祂聚集以色列被赶散的人
A. He Gathering the Outcasts of Israel
10耶和华聚集以色列被赶散的人。聚集被赶散的人，就是释放被掳的人，带他们回到耶路撒冷，以重建耶路撒冷。耶和华也医好伤心的人，裹好他们的伤处。祂复兴困苦人，将恶人，就是俘掳被赶散之人的巴比伦人和波斯人，倾覆于地。（2下～6。）
10Jehovah gathers the outcasts of Israel. This gathering of the outcasts is the release of the captives to bring them back to Jerusalem for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Jehovah also heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He restores the afflicted and brings the wicked, the Babylonians and Persians as the captors of the outcasts, down to the ground (vv. 2b-6
11
11B. He Providing Food for the Beast and the Birds
二祂赐食给走兽和飞鸟，喜爱敬畏祂和盼望祂慈爱的人
and Taking Pleasure in Those Who Fear Him and Hope in His Lovingkindness
12耶和华赐食给走兽和飞鸟。（9。）祂不喜悦马的力大，也不喜悦人的腿快，乃『喜爱敬畏祂和盼望祂慈爱的人』。（10～11。）
12Jehovah provides food for the beast and the birds (v. 9). He takes no delight in the strength of horses, nor pleasure in the legs of man, but He “takes pleasure in those who fear Him, / In those who hope in His lovingkindness” (vv. 10-11
三 祂复兴了耶路撒冷
C. He Having Restored Jerusalem
13耶和华复兴了耶路撒冷，坚固了牠的门闩，用平安和丰富的供备赐福给牠的子民。（12～18。）
13Jehovah has restored Jerusalem, has strengthened its bars, and has blessed its people with peace and rich provision (vv. 12-18
四 祂将祂的话晓谕雅各，将祂的律例典章指示以色列
D. He Declaring His Word to Jacob, His Statutes and Ordinances to Israel
14『祂将祂的话晓谕雅各，将祂的律例典章指示以色列。别国祂都没有这样待过；至于祂的典章，他们向来都不知道。』（19～20。）哈该和撒迦利亚能将他们自己与外邦人相比，夸耀外邦人不如他们，没有神的典章。今天我们在基督里的信徒没有律例和典章，却有赐生命的灵和神圣的分赐。哈该和撒迦利亚所有的，无法与我们在新约里所有的相比。
14He declares His word to Jacob, / His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. / He has not dealt so with any other nation; / And as for His ordinances, they have not known them” (vv. 19-20). Haggai and Zechariah could compare themselves with the Gentiles, boasting that, unlike them, the Gentiles did not have God’s ordinances. Today we, the believers in Christ, do not have the statutes and ordinances but we [510] do have the life- giving Spirit and the divine dispensing. What Haggai and Zechariah had cannot compare to what we have in the New Testament
肆因耶和华尊高的名，并祂超越的威荣而赞美祂
IV. PRAISING JEHOVAH FOR HIS EXALTED NAME AND FOR HIS TRANSCENDING GLORY
15一百四十八篇讲到因耶和华尊高的名，并祂超越的威荣而赞美祂。
15Psalm 148 is on praising Jehovah for His exalted name and for His transcending majesty
一 天上一切的物和人，都要从天上赞美祂
A. All the Heavenly Things and Persons to Praise Him from the Heavens
16在一至六节，天上一切的物和人，都受嘱咐要从天上赞美耶和华。关于这点，五节说，『愿这些都赞美耶和华的名；因祂一吩咐，便都造成。』
16In verses 1 through 6 all the heavenly things and persons are charged to praise Jehovah from the heavens. Concerning this, verse 5 says, “Let them praise the name of Jehovah; / For He commanded, and they were created
二 地上一切的物和人，都当从地上赞美祂
B. All the Earthly Things and Persons to Praise Him from the Earth
17七至十三节继续说，地上一切的物和人，都当从地上赞美祂。关于这点，十三节说，『愿这些都赞美耶和华的名，因为独有祂的名被尊崇；祂的威荣在天地之上。』
17Verses 7 through 13 continue by saying that all the earthly things and persons are to praise Jehovah from the earth. Concerning this verse 13 says, “Let them praise the name of Jehovah, / For His name alone is exalted; / His glory is above the earth and the heavens
三 祂所有的百姓都当赞美祂
C. All His People to Praise Him
18照著十四节，祂所有的百姓，祂的圣民以色列人，就是与祂相近的百姓，都当赞美祂。
18According to verse 14, all His people, His saints, the children of Israel, a people near to Him, are to praise Him.
伍 因耶和华喜爱祂的百姓以色列，
V. PRAISING JEHOVAH
用救恩当作低微人的妆饰，
FOR HIS PLEASURE IN HIS PEOPLE, ISRAEL
而赞美祂
AND HIS ADORNMENT OF THE LOWLY WITH SALVATION
19一百四十九篇讲到因耶和华喜爱祂的百姓以色列，用救恩当作低微人的妆饰，而赞美祂。一在祂圣民的会中唱新歌一节说到向耶和华唱新歌，在祂圣民的会中赞美祂。
19Psalm 149 is on praising Jehovah for His pleasure in His people, Israel, and His adornment of the lowly with salvation. A. With a New Song in the Congregation of His Saints Verse 1 speaks of singing a new song to Jehovah and His praise in the congregation of His saints. [511
二 以色列因造他的主喜乐，锡安民因他们的王快乐
B. Israel Rejoicing in His Maker, the Children of Zion Being Glad in Their King
20二节说，『愿以色列因造他的主喜乐；愿锡安民因他们的王快乐。』三节说到跳舞赞美祂的名，用铃鼓和琴歌颂祂。耶和华喜爱祂的百姓，用救恩当作低微人的妆饰。（4。）因此，五至六节说，忠信的人当因荣耀欢腾，在床上欢呼；他们口中称赞神为高，手里有两刃的刀。
20Verse 2 says, “Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; / Let the children of Zion be glad in their King.” Verse 3 speaks of praising His name with dancing and of singing psalms to Him with the tambourine and the lyre. Jehovah takes pleasure in His people and adorns the lowly with salvation (v. 4). Thus, verses 5 and 6 say that the faithful ones should exult in glory and give a ringing shout upon their beds, with the high praises of God in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand
三 报复列邦，刑罚万民
C. Executing Vengeance on the Nations and Punishment among the Peoples
21七至九节上半说，圣民当报复列邦，刑罚万民，用炼子捆他们的君王，用铁镣锁他们的大臣，并在他们身上施行所记录的审判。这尊荣是为著祂所有忠信的人。（9下。）
21Verses 7 through 9a say that the saints should execute vengeance on the nations and punishment among the peoples, bind the kings of the peoples with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron, and execute upon them the judgment written. This honor is for all His faithful ones (v. 9b
陆 赞美耶和华神
VI. PRAISING JEHOVAH GOD
22一百五十篇是关于赞美耶和华神的诗。
22Psalm 150 is a psalm on praising Jehovah God
一 在：
A. In:
23一节是嘱咐人在神的圣所并在祂显能力的穹苍赞美祂。
23Verse 1 is a charge to praise God in His sanctuary and in the firmament of His power
二 因：
B. For:
24二节说到因神大能的作为，按著祂的至大至极赞美祂。
24Verse 2 speaks of praising God for His mighty acts and according to His vast greatness
三 用：
C. With:
25三至五节告诉我们，要用号声，鼓瑟弹琴，击鼓跳舞，用丝弦的乐器和箫，用大响的钹，用高声的钹赞美祂。今天我们的灵是比这些经文里所题任何乐器都更好的『乐器』。我们若运用我们的灵，就会发出美好的『音乐』。
25Verses 3 through 5 tell us to praise God with the blast of the trumpet, the harp and lyre, the tambourine and dancing, the stringed instrument and the pipe, the loud cymbals, and the loud clanging cymbals. Today our spirit is a much better “instrument” than any of the instruments mentioned [512] in these verses. If we exercise our spirit, we will make good “music.”
四 由凡有气息的
D. By Everything That Has Breath
26最后，六节说，凡有气息的都该赞美耶和华。
26Finally, verse 6 says that everything that has breath should praise Jehovah
柒 在诗篇里神圣启示的灵、实际和特征
VII. THE SPIRIT, THE REALITY, THE CHARACTERISTIC, OF THE DIVINE REVELATION IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS
27启示录十九章十节说，在启示录里豫言的灵乃是耶稣的见证。基于这原则我们能说，在诗篇里神圣启示的灵、实际和特征，乃是作神永远经纶之中心和普及的基督。（路二四44。）为此，祂首先是三一神的具体化身，然后是神的家，神的居所（由神的殿所表征），神的国（由耶路撒冷城所表征），并且从神的殿并在神的国里为全地的元首。因此，祂在整个宇宙中是一切中的一切。这样神圣的启示，与全本圣经里所启示的一样。诗篇里神圣启示惟一特别的点，乃是这样高的启示，甚至神圣启示的最高峰，都在古代敬虔圣民情绪的发表里豫言出来。所以这样的启示搀杂著他们苦难中的安慰，以及敬虔的修养，但这最高启示的中心和实际（灵），不是苦难中的安慰，也不是敬虔的修养，乃是那照著神的愿望，并为著神的喜悦，作一切中之一切的神的基督。
27Revelation 19:10 says that the spirit of the prophecy of the book of Revelation is the testimony of Jesus. Based upon this principle we can say that the spirit, the reality, the characteristic, of the divine revelation in the book of Psalms is Christ (Luke 24:44) as the centrality and universality of the eternal economy of God. For this, He is firstly the embodiment of the Triune God, then the house, the habitation, of God (signified by the temple), the kingdom of God (signified by the city of Jerusalem), and the Ruler of the entire earth from the house of God and in the kingdom of God. Thus, He is all in all in the entire universe. Such a divine revelation is the same as what is revealed in the entire Holy Scriptures. The only particular point of the divine revelation in the book of Psalms is that such a high revelation, even the highest peak of the divine revelation, is prophesied in the expressions of the sentiments of the ancient godly saints. So it is mixed with their comfort in sufferings and the cultivation of godliness, yet the center and the reality, the spirit, of this highest revelation is not the comfort in sufferings nor the cultivation of godliness. It is the Christ of God, who is all in all according to God’s desire and for God’s good pleasure
28这最高神圣启示的总结乃是新耶路撒冷城，作神居所和帐幕的表号，（启二一1～3，）藉此三一神得以在包罗万有的基督里得著显现并彰显。神渴望在地上得著一个生机的居所，这居所乃是神藉著包罗万有之基督了结的死和使人有新生起头的复活，所得著活圣徒的集大成。他们将是经过过程并终极完成之三一神永远的显现与彰显，并且祂要在祂包罗万有的基督里成为他们的一切。三一神要在新地上，藉著在新宇宙中这样一个生机体作王。这就是诗篇的灵和精粹。
28The consummation of this highest divine revelation is the city of New Jerusalem as a sign of the habitation, the tabernacle, of God (Rev. 21:1-3), through which the Triune God is manifested and expressed in the all- inclusive Christ. God desires to have an organic habitation on earth, and this habitation is the aggregate of the living saints gained by God through the terminating death and germinating [513] resurrection of the all-inclusive Christ. They will be the eternal manifestation and expression of the processed and consummated Triune God, and He will be everything to them in His all-inclusive Christ. The Triune God will reign on the new earth through such an organism in the new universe. This is the spirit, the extract, of the book of Psalms
