詩篇129:1-4

  

129:1 （上行之詩。）以色列當說：從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，
129:2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，卻沒有勝了我。
129:3 如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕，耕的犁溝甚長。
129:4 耶和華是公義的；他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

A song of ascents.

¹ “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
    let Israel say;
² “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory over me.
³ Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
⁴ But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

 

**************

 

    詩人在這裡告訴我們：「從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，卻沒有勝了我。」

    為甚麼敵人勝不過，因為有上帝的保守！雖然「如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕，耕的犁溝甚長。」

    詩人之所以這樣說，因為他清楚「耶和華是公義的；他砍斷了惡人的繩索。」

    可見人的受拯救，不被罪人勝過，完全都是出於上帝的拯救！
