76:1 (亞薩的詩歌,交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。)在猶大,上帝為人所認識;在以色列,他的名為大。
76:2 在撒冷有他的帳幕;在錫安有他的居所。
76:3 他在那裡折斷弓上的火箭,並盾牌、刀劍,和爭戰的兵器。(細拉)
76:4 你從有野食之山而來,有光華和榮美。
76:5 心中勇敢的人都被搶奪;他們睡了長覺,沒有一個英雄能措手。
76:6 雅各的上帝啊,你的斥責一發,坐車的、騎馬的都沉睡了。
76:7 惟獨你是可畏的!你怒氣一發,誰能在你面前站得住呢?
76:8 你從天上使人聽判斷。上帝起來施行審判,要救地上一切謙卑的人;那時地就懼怕而靜默。(細拉)
76:9 【併於上節】
76:10 人的忿怒要成全你的榮美;人的餘怒,你要禁止。
76:11 你們許願,當向耶和華─你們的上帝還願;在他四面的人都當拿貢物獻給那可畏的主。
76:12 他要挫折王子的驕氣;他向地上的君王顯威可畏。

1 God
is renowned in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.
2 His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b]
in Israel his name is great.
2 His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b]
4 You
are radiant with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 The valiant lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.
7 It
is you alone who are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet—
9 when you, God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[c]

let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.

**************
讀到這首詩歌,就想到最謙卑的人,就是主耶穌,因為祂本是上帝,卻成為卑微的人,甚至卑微到成為世人的贖罪祭,承擔所有上帝所要拯救的人的罪債!可是,人們竟然不知感恩,認為祂理當如此被對待!
可是,當人被聖靈感動明白過來的時候,內心的苦痛與愧疚,誰能承受得起呢?正如彼得在五旬節的時候對來耶路撒冷過節的猶太人說到:「故此,以色列全家當確實地知道,你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌,上帝已經立他為主,為基督了。」(使徒行傳2:36)
這時他們的反應是覺得扎心,如同詩人在此所說:「惟獨你(上帝)是可畏的!你(上帝)怒氣一發,誰能在你面前站得住呢?」就對彼得和其餘的使徒說:「弟兄們,我們當怎樣行?」
當你清楚上帝的審判的時候,相信你也會和那一群猶太人一樣的感受,感受到上帝的憤怒我怎能承受得起呢?這時候,為我們死在十字架的主耶穌,要成為為我們的中保拯救我們!祂為我們辯護,展現自己在十字架上所付的代價!使上帝和人重新復和:我們看見上帝的慈愛,為救我們犧牲了獨生愛子;而上帝看見人的刑罰已經落在聖羔羊的身上了,被殺的羔羊承擔了一切並流出寶血,滿足了上帝義的要求了!也讓我們歸向上帝成為聖潔了,使我們得著上帝兒女的身分!
上帝在基督裡的救贖是完全,而且是有效的,一次的作為,卻有永遠的功能!
