旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第66章

Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah
Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!
He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot--come, let us rejoice in him.
He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations--let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah
Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you--
vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
诗篇第六十六篇   第 66 篇 

  诗 66:5-7> 大能手一指,地动海变干,仰首面向主,心顿生畏敬…… 

  66:5-7 作者想起了神分开红海拯救以色列人的故事。神在那时拯救了以色列人,在今天仍继续拯救祂的百姓。 

  66:10-12 就像火炼白银一样,试炼能提炼我们的性格,使我们得着更新更深的智慧,帮助我们去伪存真,并且教导我们什么是正义。总之,它在帮助我们明白,生命是神给我们的珍爱礼物,不能视为平常。 

  诗 66:13-15> 如果你帮助我,我定会──这样的想法,挺熟悉的,是吗? 

  66:13-15 人们有时候同神讨价还价:“你若医治我(或使我跳出这些麻烦),我就在余生中顺服你。”然而在他们缓过气来之后,很快就忘记了自己的誓言,又故态复萌。这篇诗的作者向神发了誓言,但他记住了它并准备履行。神总是信守诺言的,并让我们学习祂的榜样。你发了誓就要小心地履行。 

  诗 66:18> 感恩者心中充满爱和信,自我者常怀怨和恨,我…… 

  66:18 我们必须不断认罪,因为我们不断犯错。真正的认罪是听从神并停止再做错事。大卫向神认罪时祷告说:“愿你赦免我隐而未现的过错。求你阻拦仆人不犯任意妄为的罪。”( 19:12-13 )我们拒绝悔改或保留并喜欢某些罪的话,我们就没法想起自己所犯的每一样罪。但我们的态度必须是向神认罪和顺服。──《灵修版圣经注释》
