诗篇第2篇|Book of Psalm 2

【投靠神的有福人】

主讲：郑伟健同工+陈炎明牧师

22/02/2023 引言：

诗篇第一篇提到“唯喜爱耶和华的律法，昼夜思想，这人便为有福！”诗篇第二篇继续提到有福的人“…… 凡投靠他的，都是有福的。“ 这个“他”指的是大卫家所有的君王，因为神应许大卫家永不缺人坐在大卫的宝座上，就是说神永远成为大卫家的靠山，

这是一个描述大卫家的君王登基的诗篇。当时候多国的首领趁新王兴起，企图要联合反抗，其实就像是要摆脱神的管治一样。

一、世界无益的反抗（V1-3）

诗篇在形容当时候外邦的君王都在谋算商议要起来敌对抵挡神和祂的受膏者。今天，仍然有许多未认识神的人就如这些外邦的君王一样。他们渴望抢夺耶稣基督的权柄，在骄傲中敌挡我们的神。他们不接受神所立的君王，要以自己为对错的标准，这就是世上的君王和空中的掌权者所要作的事情。

这些君王和外邦说他们要挣开他们的捆绑和绳索，就是说他们不愿再受神的管治，对他们而言，神的话语像是一个束缚。这是毫无益处的事，但这却是一个普世的现象。

二、神所拣选的君王（V4-6）

地上受造的君王竟然要与天上伟大的创造主敌对，这是一件不可思议的事情。所以诗人就形容神在天上嗤笑他们。

诗篇第一篇提到我们喜爱耶和华的律法，昼夜思想，便为有福。然而人性却不喜欢如此，所以会令人感到被误解、受束缚，因而想挣开它。当世界的权势有很多计划和谋算时，神就坚立祂的君王在锡安山上。

三、列国都归受膏者（V7-9）

锡安山是永不动摇的，并且神已对受膏者传圣旨，说：“你是我的儿子，我今日生你。你求我，我就将列国赐你为基业，将地极赐你为田产。”V 6-8也就是说世上的列国都已归于这位受膏者的权下。

四、顺服神拣选的王（V10-12）

“现在你们君王应当醒悟，你们世上的审判官该受管教！”V10 醒悟原文是指“Be wise”，就是智慧的意思，是提醒我们要有智慧起来顺服投靠神所拣选的王！

投靠”的原文就是“take refuge”，就是神成为他们的避难所。当我们愿意受管教，并按着所受的管教去认识自己，不再自我中心，我们就是在投靠神。我们就便为有福，因为神必然成为我们的山寨，我们也会成为基督的身体。

总结：醒悟，起来投靠神！

我们要醒悟，从世界的混乱与迷惑走出来，起来投靠神。当我们有一个顺服的生命，神必垂听我们的祷告，因为我们的生命是对的生命，是谦卑、顺服权柄的生命。当我们去求，神就把列国赐给我们为产业，并赐我们超乎万名之上的名。

Psalm 2: Blessed is the man who trusts in God
GK611 Morning Devotion
22/02/2023
Speaker: Asher Chang + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

Psalm 1 refers to "Blessed is the man who Blessed is the man who meditates His law day and night. " Psalm 2 goes on to refer to the blessed "...... Blessed is everyone who trusts in him. " This "he" refers to all the kings of the house of David, for God promises that the house of David will never be without a man to sit on David's throne, meaning that God will always be the support of the house of David.

This is a psalm that describes the enthronement of the kings of the house of David. The leaders of the kingdoms took advantage of the rise of the new king and attempted to unite in rebellion, as if to get rid of God's rule.

1. The world's unhelpful rebellion （V1-3）

The Psalmist is describing a time when the kings of the Gentiles were scheming and deliberating to rise up against God and His anointed. Today, there are still many who do not know God who are like these Gentile kings. They desire to seize the authority of Jesus Christ, and in their pride they oppose our God. They do not accept the kings that God has made, but want to make themselves the standard of right and wrong, which is what the kings of the world and prince of the power of the air intended to do.

These kings and Gentiles say that they want to break their bonds and cords, that is, they do not want to be governed by God any more, and for them the Word of God is like a bondage. This is unhelpful, but it is a phenomenon in the world.

2. God's Chosen King （V4-6）

It is an incredible thing that the created kings of the earth should be at enmity with the great Creator of heaven. So the psalmist describes God as laughing at them from heaven.

The first Psalmist mentions that we are blessed when we love the law of the Lord and meditate about it day and night. Yet human nature does not like this, so it can be tempting to feel misunderstood and bound, and therefore to want to break away from it. When the powers of the world had many plans and schemes, God set His King firmly on Mount Zion.

3. All the nations to the anointed one （V7-9）

Mount Zion will never be shaken, and God has made a holy decree to the Anointed One, saying, "‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession." V 6-8 That is to say, all the nations of the world have come under the authority of this Anointed One.

4. Obedience to God's Chosen King （V10-12）

"Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth!" V10 The original text is "be wise", which means to be wise, to remind us to be wise and to rise up in obedience to God's chosen King! The original text for "trust" is "take refuge", that is, God becomes their refuge. When we are willing to be disciplined and to know ourselves according to the discipline we have received and to stop being self-centred, we are trusting God. We are then blessed, for God will certainly be our fortress and we will become the body of Christ.

Conclusion: Be wise and trust God!

We need to be awaken, walk away from the confusion and bewilderment of the world and rise up to God. When we have a life of obedience, God will hear our prayers because our life is the right life, a life of humility and submission to authority. When we ask, God gives us the nations as an inheritance and our names will be above all.
