For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A
psalm.
1 Clap
your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 For
the Lord Most High is awesome,
the great King over all the earth.
3 He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.[b]
the great King over all the earth.
3 He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.[b]
5 God
has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise.
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise.
8 God
reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings[c] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
God is seated on his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings[c] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
**************
詩人在此歌頌上帝為王,讓我們不禁想到上帝國完全實現的狀態!正如啟示錄中說到:「世上的國成了我主和主基督的國;他要作王,直到永永遠遠。」(啟示錄11:15)
啟示錄在此也說到當天使這樣宣告之後,「在上帝面前,坐在自己位上的二十四位長老,就面伏於地,敬拜上帝,說:昔在、今在的主上帝─全能者啊,我們感謝你!因你執掌大權作王了。」(啟示錄11:16-17)
所以,敬拜上帝,就是承認上帝是王!祂有主權來治理全世界,更是有主權蘭治理敬拜祂的人,是他們心中永遠的王!也因此,我們要歡迎上帝來我們心中,永遠掌王權,願意成為一位順命的兒女!
快來!擁戴主為王!
