Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everyt..

1. By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2. There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3. for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, " Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" 4. How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land? 5. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill . 포로로 잡혀간 나라에서 고향 노래를..

I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The L..

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. 잠언 9장 10절에도 아래와 같은 말씀이 있다. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy one is understanding. 그러니까 follow his precepts 와 knowledge of the Holy one 가 같은 말이 된다. 거룩한 자를 아는 것이 곧 그의 가르침을 따르는 것이니까 그의 가르침을 따르게 되면 명철하게 된다는 말씀이다. 똑똑해지고 싶으면 하나님..

6. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. 7. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof. 외로운 상태를 너무나도 시적으로 표현하고 있다. 그야말로 우리말 번역대로 시편이다. 원래 제목은 찬양의 책이지만 이 부분은 찬양이라기 보다 시편이 더 어울린다. 얼마나 외로웠으면 이런 표현이 나올까? 지리적 특징때문이기도 하겠지만 이 올빼미의 이미지와 너무나도 잘 맞아떨어진다. 사막에 홀로 있는 부엉이의 상태가 어떨까? 또한 지붕위에 홀로 앉아있는 새는 어떤 이미지일까? 만약 추운 밤에 이렇게 앉아있다면 그 고독과 외로움은 어떻게 표현될 수 있을까? 더구나 사람이 이럴 때 어떻게 하나님을 찾아 부르짖지..

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. 10줄 비파와 수금의 선율에 맞추어 찬양하는 것이 선하다. 여기서도 하프의 선율에 맞춘다는 것이 그냥 리듬반주하는 것을 말하는 것일까? Kinnor와 Nebel로 찬양하는 것이니까 선율악기라 하더라도 당시의 상황에 비춰보면 리듬반주가 맞기는 하겠지, make music은 음악을 만든다기 보다는 지금의 관점에서 보면 하나님의 사랑과 신실하심을..

Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast; 우리의 힘인 하나님께 기쁨이되게 노래하라. 크게 소리 질러라 음악을 시작하고 탬버린을 두드리고 Melodious한 하프와 리라를 연주하라. 뿔나팔을 불어라. 위에서 Melodious harp는 무엇을 말할까? 그냥 Musical harp인지 아니면 열줄 비파와 같은 악기인지 선율을 연주할 수 있는 ..

22.I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy one of Israel. 23.My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you-- I, whom you have redeemed. 24. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion. 하나님을 찬양하는데 맨 입술로만 찬양하는 것이 아니라 하프와 리라를 가지고 찬양하겠다고 한다..

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence? They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Sela..

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. 오늘날 우리..

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 내 길을 하나님께 맡기고 믿으면 하나님이 이것을 이루어 주신다고 말한다. 내 길이나 내 방법이 아니라 하나님의 길과 방법으로 하고 맡기면 그가 이루어 주신다고 한다. 내가 얼마나 똑똑하고 멍청하고에 상관없이 하나님께 맡기면 되는데 그걸 못하고 내 힘으로 할려고 용을 쓴다. 하나님께 맡기면 그 분의 관리하에 일이 이루어질 거니까 나는 책임도 없다? 내가 할 일은 무엇인가? 100% 그 분에게 맡겨야 하는데 그러지를 못한다. 내 작은 능력으로 하려고 하니까 문제가 된다.

Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. 의인들이 하나님을 찬양하는 것이 ..

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of ..

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, 5. which is like a bridegroom coming forth fro..

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that..

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that t..

4. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone- while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clo..

How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams ; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. Th..

'I am pure and without sin; I am clean and free from guilt. Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.' "But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man. Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words ? For God does speak--now one way, now another-- though man may not per..

When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them. 내가 웃을 때 그들이 거의 믿을 수 없었다면 내가 어떤 신분이었을까? 내 얼굴빛이 그들에게 귀중한 것이 될려면 내가 어떤 사람이어야 할까? 신분이 아주 높고 존경받는 사람이었다는 표현인 것 같은데 당시 고난 당하기 전의 욥의 신분을 잘 나타내주는 말인것 같다. 그러했던 욥이 다음 장에 1절에 보면 이렇게 말한다. ""But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs. " 양치기 개수준밖에 안되는 형편없는 ..
