诗篇第廿四篇
大卫的诗。
1 地和其中所充满的，世界和住在其间的，都属耶和华。
2 祂把地建立在海上，安定在大水之上。
3 谁能登耶和华的山？谁能站在祂的圣所？
4 就是手洁心清，不向虚妄，起誓不怀诡诈的人。
5 祂必蒙耶和华赐福，又蒙救祂的神使他成义。
6 这是寻求耶和华的族类，是寻求祢面的雅各。（细拉）
7 众城门哪，你们要抬起头来！永久的门户，你们要被举起！那荣耀的王将要进来！
8 荣耀的王是谁呢？就是有力有能的耶和华，在战场上有能的耶和华。
9 众城门哪，你们要抬起头来！永久的门户，你们要把头抬起！那荣耀的王将要进来！
10 荣耀的王是谁呢？万军之耶和华，祂是荣耀的王。（细拉）
这是一篇礼仪诗，是朝圣者进入圣殿时所诵唱的。这诗篇的来源有两种说法，一是当大卫将约柜从基列耶琳送到锡安城时，据说就是以这诗篇为歌词配乐吟颂，68和132篇也是为此行而作。大卫在诗中赞美神的创造，只有创造宇宙者才能知道祂的创作里所具有的潜力，也只有祂才能决定要把祂的创作与谁分享。在祂的异象中，祂选择了人类，并且让以色列人进入迦南地，拥有迦南地。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Chronicles 8:1-18. Let’s go!
2 Chronicles 8:11 (NIV)
11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
On verses 1-18: In these verses we read about some of the activities Solomon engaged in after he built the temple and his own palace, such as cities that he developed (v2-6), peoples he ruled over (v7-10), sacrifices that he made and work that he did at the temple (v12-16), and riches he accumulated (v17-18).
Notice in verses 12-16, Solomon goes to great lengths to make sure that the offerings he gives at the temple as well as the way the priests and Levites conduct their services at the temple are all in strict accordance with Moses’ commands and his father David’s orders (v12-16). Solomon is painstakingly devout in this particular area of his life. But in other areas of his life, we see Solomon starting to compromise his faith. For example, Solomon knew full well that God’s Word commanded against marrying an unbeliever, yet Solomon goes ahead and marries Pharaoh’s daughter, who did not believe in the God of Israel or worship Him.
诗篇第廿三篇
大卫的诗。
1 耶和华是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。
2 祂使我躺卧在青草地上，领我在可安歇的水边。
3 祂使我的灵魂苏醒，为自己的名引导我走义路。
4 我虽然行过死荫的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因为祢与我同在，祢的杖、祢的竿都安慰我。
5 在我敌人面前，祢为我摆设筵席，祢用油膏了我的头，使我的福杯满溢。
6 我一生一世必有恩惠、慈爱随着我，我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远。
有位犹太拉比说，〈诗篇〉23篇是支持以色列人度过最黑暗时期的诗篇，在长期的压迫和流浪里，再恐怖的谋害或悲剧也不能让他们忘记「祢与我同在」的应许。大卫王的一生并不平顺，他的遭遇十分坎坷，但是因为他知道神与他同在，所以他从不绝望。
大卫渴望可以舒服地住在圣地，有神的恩惠与慈爱相随。「住在dwell」在希伯来文里还有一个意思，就是「我会回来I will return」。大卫盼望他不仅可以住在神的殿中，而且万一必须离开，也可以经常回到神的面前。大卫那时只有会幕，尚未建圣殿，但凡是有神在的地方，便是大卫渴想的所在。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Chronicles 7:11-22. Let’s go!
On verses 12-16: After Solomon has finished dedicating the temple, God appears to Solomon. God confirms to Solomon that He has heard Solomon’s prayer, that He will be attentive to the prayers offered in the temple, and that He has chosen and consecrated this temple so that His name would be there forever. As part of this, God speaks some of the most powerful words regarding prayer and repentance in the Bible:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
When God speaks this promise in verse 14, He is speaking about situations where the land is affected by droughts, plagues or locusts. God promises to heal the Israelites’ land if they will humble themselves, pray, seek His face and turn from their wicked ways.
诗篇廿二篇
大卫的诗，交于伶长。调用朝鹿。
1 我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？为什么远离不救我，不听我唉哼的言语？
2 我的神啊，我白日呼求，祢不应允；夜间呼求，并不住声。
3 但祢是圣洁的，是用以色列的赞美为宝座的。
4 我们的祖宗倚靠祢，他们倚靠祢，祢便解救他们。
5 他们哀求祢便蒙解救，他们倚靠祢就不羞愧。
6 但我是虫，不是人，被众人羞辱，被百姓藐视。
7 凡看见我的都嗤笑我，他们撇嘴摇头，说：
8 「他把自己交托耶和华，耶和华可以救他吧！耶和华既喜悦他，可以搭救他吧！」
9 但祢是叫我出母腹的，我在母怀里，祢就使我有倚靠的心。
10 我自出母胎就被交在你手里，从我母亲生我，祢就是我的神。………..
大卫在写这诗时原是在描写他的心路历程，但是在圣灵的带领和感动之下，他写下了许多和基督受苦经历相关的经文，因此这诗篇又被称为是弥赛亚诗篇的代表作。主耶稣在十字架上说了七句话，其中一句便是：「我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？」那是耶稣在极度痛苦时发出的哀号，祂可以忍受一切的痛苦，但是与神隔绝使祂受不了。在那时祂觉得神离祂远去，因为全世界的罪都在祂身上，那是耶稣最孤独的时刻。大卫在极度的逼迫里也感受到这种似乎天人隔绝的苦楚和绝望。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Chronicles 7:1-10. Let’s go!
2 Chronicles 7:1 (NIV)
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
On verses 1-3: Once the people have offered their sacrifices to the Lord and Solomon has finished praying on behalf of the people, fire from heaven falls and consumes the people’s burnt offering and sacrifices, filling the temple with God’s glory. The people respond by kneeling with their faces to the ground and worshiping God, saying “He is good; His love endures forever” (v3).
This verse reminds me of two later events. The first event is when Elijah would face off against the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and God answers Elijah’s prayer by sending fire upon his sacrifice, causing the people to exclaim “The Lord, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:38-39). The second event is in Acts 2, when Jesus’ disciples are in the upper room, worshiping the Lord, and then tongues of fire are said to land on each of them, causing them to speak in tongues.
诗篇第廿一篇
大卫的诗，交于伶长。
1 耶和华啊，王必因祢的能力欢喜，因祢的救恩他的快乐何其大！
2 他心里所愿的，祢已经赐给他；他嘴唇所求的，祢未尝不应允。（细拉）
3 祢以美福迎接他，把精金的冠冕戴在他头上。
4 他向祢求寿，祢便赐给他，就是日子长久，直到永远。
5 他因祢的救恩大有荣耀，祢又将尊荣威严加在他身上。
6 祢使他有洪福，直到永远，又使他在你面前欢喜快乐。
7 王倚靠耶和华，因至高者的慈爱，必不摇动。
8 你的手要搜出你的一切仇敌，你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。
9 你发怒的时候，要使他们如在炎热的火炉中。耶和华要在祂的震怒中吞灭他们，那火要把他们烧尽了。
10 你必从世上灭绝他们的子孙，从人间灭绝他们的后裔。………
这是一首王者的感恩歌，也可以说神膏立的君王，从扫罗、大卫直到弥赛亚基督，都希望能日子长久，直到永远。因此我们今天选了〈一生一世〉作为今天的分享诗歌。
神膏立祂为世人所立的君王后，并不是一走了之。相反地，王要因神加添的能力欢喜；因神赐的救恩快乐。神又把他心里所求所愿的赐给受膏者，福禄寿都在祂手中，还有精金的冠冕。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Chronicles 6:32-42. Let’s go!
2 Chronicles 6:32-33 (NIV)
32 “As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm–when he comes and prays toward this temple,
33 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
On verses 32-33: Solomon prays that God would hear and work on behalf of the foreigner who is not an Israelite by blood but who comes to Israel from a distant land and prays toward the temple. Solomon asks God to hear that foreigner and help that foreigner, “so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You” (v33).
诗篇第廿篇
大卫的诗，交于伶长。
1 愿耶和华在你遭难的日子应允你，愿名为雅各神的高举你。
2 愿他从圣所救助你，从锡安坚固你；
3 记念你的一切供献，悦纳你的燔祭；（细拉）
4 将你心所愿的赐给你，成就你的一切筹算。
5 我们要因你的救恩夸胜，要奉我们神的名竖立旌旗。愿耶和华成就你一切所求的！
6 现在我知道耶和华救护他的受膏者，必从他的圣天上应允他，用右手的能力救护他。
7 有人靠车，有人靠马，但我们要提到耶和华我们神的名。
8 他们都屈身仆倒，我们却起来，立得正直。
9 求耶和华施行拯救，我们呼求的时候，愿王应允我们！
在摩西五经里，神曾预言当以色列人定居在迦南之后，他们会希望像外邦人一样，希望设立一个君王。神默许了这个要求，但也立下了条件：
申命记14章
14 「到了耶和华你神所赐你的地，得了那地居住的时候，若说：『我要立王治理我，像四围的国一样』， 15 你总要立耶和华你神所拣选的人为王。必从你弟兄中立一人，不可立你弟兄以外的人为王。 16 只是王不可为自己加添马匹，也不可使百姓回埃及去，为要加添他的马匹，因耶和华曾吩咐你们说：『不可再回那条路去。』17 他也不可为自己多立妃嫔，恐怕他的心偏邪，也不可为自己多积金银。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Chronicles 6:22-31. Let’s go!
2 Chronicles 6:24-25 (NIV)
24 “When your people Israel have been defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you and when they turn back and confess your name, praying and making supplication before you in this temple,
25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their fathers.
On verses 22-31: Here Solomon continues his prayer to God by describing different challenging situations that he foresees his people going through, including:
When one person wrongs another and needs to take an oath concerning what happened (v22-23)
When God’s people encounter defeat due to sin and they turn back to God (v24-25)
When God’s people encounter famine due to sin and they turn back to God (v26-27)
When disaster strikes for reasons unrelated to the people’s sin and they call on God (v28-31)
In every case, Solomon asks God to hear from heaven and forgive, or to hear from heaven and act.
