詩篇132:13-18

  

132:13 因為耶和華揀選了錫安，願意當作自己的居所，
132:14 說：這是我永遠安息之所；我要住在這裡，因為是我所願意的。
132:15 我要使其中的糧食豐滿，使其中的窮人飽足。
132:16 我要使祭司披上救恩，聖民大聲歡呼！
132:17 我要叫大衛的角在那裡發生；我為我的受膏者預備明燈。
132:18 我要使他的仇敵披上羞恥；但他的冠冕要在頭上發光。

 

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion,
    he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
¹⁴ “This is my resting place for ever and ever;
    here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will bless her with abundant provisions;
    her poor I will satisfy with food.
¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation,
    and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

¹⁷ “Here I will make a horn    grow for David
    and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

    「錫安」就是「耶路撒冷」，是上帝聖殿的所在地，是上帝親自為自己揀選之處，透過大衛王朝來實現。

    而「錫安」是上帝與祂的百姓相會之處，甚至以這象徵我們永遠的家鄉，是我們與上帝永遠在一起的地方。

    而上行詩的描述，「錫安」就是朝聖者的終點，也是我們享受永生之處！
