Domestic Happiness. A song of degrees. 1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. The church of God, in its several ages, is here spoken of, or, rather, here speaks, as one single person, now old and gray-headed, but calling to remembrance the former days, and reflecting upon the times of old. And, upon the review, it is found, 1. That the church has been often greatly distressed by its enemies on earth: Israel may now say, "I am the people that has been oppressed more than any people, that has been as a speckled bird, pecked at by all the birds round about, " Jeremiah 12:9 . It is true, they brought their troubles upon themselves by their sins; it was for them that God punished them; but it was for the peculiarity of their covenant, and the singularities of their religion, that their neighbours hated and persecuted them. "For these many a time have they afflicted me from my youth. " Note, God's people have always had many enemies, and the state of the church, from its infancy, has frequently been an afflicted state. Israel's youth was in Egypt, or in the times of the Judges; then they were afflicted, and thenceforward more or less. The gospel-church, ever since it had a being, has been at times afflicted; and it bore this yoke most of all in its youth, witness the ten persecutions which the primitive church groaned under. The ploughers ploughed upon my back, Psalms 129:3 ; Psalms 129:3 . We read ( Psalms 125:3 ) of the rod of the wicked upon the lot of the righteous, where we rather expected the plough, to mark it out for themselves; here we read of the plough of the wicked upon the back of the righteous, where we rather expected to find the rod. But the metaphors in these places may be said to be crossed; the sense however of both is the same, and is too plain, that the enemies of God's people have all along used them very barbarously. They tore them, as the husbandman tears the ground with his plough-share, to pull them to pieces and get all they could out of them, and so to wear out the saints of the Most High, as the ground is worn out that has been long tilled, tilled (as we say) quite out of heart. When God permitted them to plough thus he intended it for his people's good, that, their fallow ground being thus broken up, he might sow the seeds of his grace upon them, and reap a harvest of good fruit from them: howbeit, the enemies meant not so, neither did their hearts think so ( Isaiah 10:7 ); they made long their furrows, never knew when to have done, aiming at nothing less than the destruction of the church. Many by the furrows they made on the backs of God's people understand the stripes they gave them. The cutters cut upon my back, so they read it. The saints have often had trials of cruel scourgings (probably the captives had) and cruel mockings (for we read of the scourge or lash of the tongue, Hebrews 11:36 ), and so it was fulfilled in Christ, who gave his back to the smiters, Isaiah 50:6 . Or it may refer to the desolations they made of the cities of Israel. Zion shall, for your sake, be ploughed as a field, Micah 3:12 . 2. That the church has been always graciously delivered by her friend in heaven. (1.) The enemies' projects have been defeated. They have afflicted the church, in hopes to ruin it, but they have not gained their point. Many a storm it has weathered; many a shock, and many a brunt, it has borne; and yet it is in being: They have not prevailed against me. One would wonder how this ship has lived at sea, when it has been tossed with tempests, and all the waves and billows have gone over it. Christ has built his church upon a rock, and the gates of hell have not prevailed against it, nor ever shall. (2.) The enemies' power has been broken: God has cut asunder the cords of the wicked, has cut their gears, their traces, and so spoiled their ploughing, has cut their scourges, and so spoiled their lashing, has cut the bands of union by which they were combined together, has cut the bands of captivity in which they held God's people. God has many ways of disabling wicked men to do the mischief they design against his church and shaming their counsels. These words, The Lord is righteous, may refer either to the distresses or to the deliverances of the church. [1.] The Lord is righteous in suffering Israel to be afflicted. This the people of God were always ready to own, that, how unjust soever their enemies were, God was just in all that was brought upon them, Nehemiah 9:33 . [2.] The Lord is righteous in not suffering Israel to be ruined; for he has promised to preserve it a people to himself, and he will be as good as his word. He is righteous in reckoning with their persecutors, and rendering to them a recompence, 2 Thessalonians 1:6 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-5-8" class="com-number"

> 이스라엘은 이렇게 말할 수 있습니다. "그들은 내 어린 때부터 나를 많이도 핍박했습니다. 그들은 내 어린 때부터 나를 많이도 핍박했지만 나를 이기지 못했습니다. 밭을 갈듯이 내 등에 밭고랑을 길게 그었습니다." 여호와는 의로우시니, 악인의 줄을 끊으셨습니다. (시편 129:1-4)
하나님의 교회는 여러 세대를 거치며 마치 한 사람처럼 말한다. 이미 노령이 되었지만 지난 날들을 기억하고 옛 시절을 돌아보는 한 사람처럼. 그 회고를 통해 다음 두 가지 사실이 드러난다.
첫째, 교회는 지상의 원수들로부터 끊임없이 큰 고난을 받아왔다. 이스라엘은 이렇게 말할 수 있다. "나는 어떤 민족보다도 더 억압을 받아온 백성이요, 주변의 모든 새들에게 쪼임을 당하는 얼룩진 새와 같다"(예레미야 12:9). 물론 그들이 자신들의 죄로 인해 환난을 자초한 것은 사실이다. 하나님께서는 죄 때문에 그들을 벌하셨다. 그러나 이웃 민족들이 그들을 미워하고 핍박한 까닭은 그들의 언약의 특수성과 종교의 고유성 때문이었다. "이 때문에 그들이 내 어린 때부터 나를 많이도 핍박하였다." 하나님의 백성에게는 언제나 많은 원수가 있었으며, 교회의 역사는 그 시작부터 자주 환난의 역사였다. 이스라엘의 어린 시절은 이집트에서, 혹은 사사 시대에 있었다. 그때부터 많든 적든 핍박이 이어졌다. 복음 교회 역시 존재한 이래로 때때로 고난을 받아왔으며, 특히 초대 교회는 원시 교회가 열 번의 박해 아래 신음하였던 것에서 보듯 가장 어린 시절에 이 멍에를 가장 무겁게 짊어졌다.
"밭을 갈듯이 내 등에 밭고랑을 길게 그었습니다"(시편 129:3). 시편 125:3에서 우리는 의인의 제비뽑은 땅 위에 있는 악인의 지팡이를 읽는데, 거기서는 차라리 쟁기를 기대했을 것이다. 여기서는 의인의 등 위에 있는 악인의 쟁기를 읽는데, 거기서는 차라리 지팡이를 기대했을 것이다. 그러나 이 두 본문의 비유는 교차되어 있다고 할 수 있다. 그 의미는 동일하며 너무도 분명하다. 하나님 백성의 원수들은 언제나 그들을 매우 잔혹하게 대해왔다. 원수들은 농부가 보습으로 땅을 가르듯이 그들을 갈가리 찢어 그들에게서 모든 것을 뽑아내고, 오래 경작하여 지력이 소진된 땅처럼 지극히 높으신 이의 성도들을 피폐하게 만들었다. 하나님께서 그들이 이렇게 밭을 갈도록 허락하셨을 때, 그분은 자기 백성의 유익을 위해 그것을 의도하셨다. 묵은 땅이 이렇게 깨어진다면, 그분은 그 위에 은혜의 씨앗을 뿌리시고 그들에게서 선한 열매의 추수를 거두실 수 있기 때문이다. 그러나 원수들은 그렇게 생각하지 않았으며, 그들의 마음도 그런 뜻을 품지 않았다(이사야 10:7). 그들은 밭고랑을 길게 그었으며, 언제 그만두어야 할지 몰랐다. 그들은 교회의 파멸보다 못하지 않은 것을 목표로 삼았다. 많은 이들이 하나님 백성의 등에 파낸 밭고랑을 그들이 가한 채찍 자국으로 이해한다. 어떤 역본은 "칼로 베는 자들이 내 등에 베었다"라고 읽기도 한다. 성도들은 자주 잔인한 채찍질의 시험을 받았으며(아마 포로들도 그러했을 것이다), 잔인한 조롱도 겪었다(혀의 채찍이나 매에 대한 언급을 우리는 히브리서 11:36에서 읽는다). 그리고 이는 자신의 등을 치는 자들에게 내어 주신 그리스도 안에서 성취되었다(이사야 50:6). 혹은 이것이 이스라엘 성읍들에 가해진 황폐를 가리키는 것일 수도 있다. "시온이 너희로 말미암아 밭같이 갈리겠고"(미가 3:12).
둘째, 교회는 하늘에 계신 그분 친구에 의해 언제나 은혜롭게 구원받아왔다. (1) 원수들의 계획은 좌절되었다. 그들은 교회를 파멸시키려는 희망을 품고 교회를 괴롭혔으나, 뜻을 이루지 못하였다. 교회는 수많은 폭풍을 헤쳐왔고, 수많은 충격과 위기를 견뎌왔다. 그럼에도 교회는 여전히 존재한다. "그들이 나를 이기지 못했다." 파도와 물결이 모두 덮쳐올 때 이 배가 어떻게 살아남았는지 놀라울 따름이다. 그리스도께서는 자신의 교회를 반석 위에 세우셨으며, 음부의 권세가 그것을 이기지 못하였고, 결코 이기지 못할 것이다. (2) 원수들의 권세는 꺾였다. "하나님께서 악인의 줄을 끊으셨다." 그들의 마구와 끌줄을 끊으셔서 밭갈기를 망하게 하시고, 채찍을 끊으셔서 태질을 못하게 하시며, 그들이 하나로 뭉치게 했던 연합의 끈을 끊으시고, 하나님의 백성을 얽어매던 포로의 사슬을 끊으셨다. 하나님께서는 악인들이 자신의 교회에 꾸미는 해악을 행하지 못하도록 하시고 그들의 모략을 수치스럽게 하시는 많은 방법을 갖고 계신다.
"여호와는 의로우시다"라는 말씀은 교회의 환난 혹은 구원 어느 쪽에도 적용될 수 있다. [1] 여호와는 이스라엘이 고난을 당하도록 허락하심에 있어서 의로우시다. 하나님의 백성은 언제나 이것을 기꺼이 인정하였다. 원수들이 아무리 불의하였더라도, 하나님께서는 그들에게 임한 모든 일에 있어서 의로우셨다(느헤미야 9:33). [2] 여호와는 이스라엘이 멸망하도록 내버려두지 않으심에 있어서 의로우시다. 그분은 이스라엘을 자신의 백성으로 보존하겠다고 약속하셨으며, 그 약속만큼 신실하실 것이다. 그분은 핍박자들을 심판하시고 그들에게 보응을 갚으심에 있어서 의로우시다(데살로니가후서 1:6).

P S A L M S PSALM CXXIX. This psalm relates to the public concerns of God's Israel. It is not certain when it was penned, probably when they were in captivity in Babylon, or about the time of their return. I. They look back with thankfulness for the former deliverances God had wrought for them and their fathers out of the many distresses they had been in from time to time, Psalms 129:1-4 . II. They look forward with a believing prayer for and a prospect of the destruction of all the enemies of Zion, Psalms 129:5-8 . In singing this psalm we may apply it both ways to the Gospel-Israel, which, like the Old-Testament Israel, has weathered many a storm and is still threatened by many enemies. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-4" class="com-number"

시편 129편은 하나님의 이스라엘이 처한 공적 상황과 관련된 시편이다. 정확히 언제 기록되었는지는 확실하지 않지만, 아마도 바벨론 포로 시절이거나 귀환이 임박한 시기에 쓰인 것으로 보인다. 이 시편은 두 부분으로 구성된다. 첫째, 이스라엘은 과거를 돌아보며, 하나님께서 조상들과 자신들을 수없이 반복된 환난에서 건져내신 구원의 역사를 감사함으로 회상한다(시편 129:1-4). 둘째, 이스라엘은 미래를 바라보며, 시온의 모든 원수가 멸망하리라는 믿음의 기도와 소망을 고백한다(시편 129:5-8). 이 시편을 노래할 때, 우리는 이를 복음 안의 이스라엘에도 양방향으로 적용할 수 있다. 구약의 이스라엘처럼 복음 안의 이스라엘 또한 수많은 폭풍을 헤쳐왔으며, 지금도 여전히 많은 원수들의 위협 아래 놓여 있기 때문이다.

God's Regard to His Church. 5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD . The psalmist, having triumphed in the defeat of the many designs that had been laid as deep as hell to ruin the church, here concludes his psalm as Deborah did her song, So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord! Judges 5:31 . I. There are many that hate Zion, that hate Zion's God, his worship, and his worshippers, that have an antipathy to religion and religious people, that seek the ruin of both, and do what they can that God may not have a church in the world. II. We ought to pray that all their attempts against the church may be frustrated, that in them they may be confounded and turned back with shame, as those that have not been able to bring to pass their enterprise and expectation: Let them all be confounded is as much as, They shall be all confounded. The confusion imprecated and predicted is illustrated by a similitude; while God's people shall flourish as the loaded palm-tree, or the green and fruitful olive, their enemies shall wither as the grass upon the house-top. As men they are not to be feared, for they shall be made as grass, Isaiah 51:12 . But as they are enemies to Zion they are so certainly marked for ruin that they may be looked upon with as much contempt as the grass on the house-tops, which is little, and short, and sour, and good for nothing. 1. It perishes quickly: It withers before it grows up to any maturity, having no root; and the higher its place is, which perhaps is its pride, the more it is exposed to the scorching heat of the sun, and consequently the sooner does it wither. It withers before it is plucked up, so some read it. The enemies of God's church wither of themselves, and stay not till they are rooted out by the judgments of God. 2. It is of no use to any body; nor are they any thing but the unprofitable burdens of the earth, nor will their attempts against Zion ever ripen or come to any head, nor, whatever they promise themselves, will they get any more by them than the husbandman does by the grass on his house-top. Their harvest will be a heap in the day of grief, Isaiah 17:11 . III. No wise man will pray God to bless the mowers or reapers, Psalms 129:8 ; Psalms 129:8 . Observe, 1. It has been an ancient and laudable custom not only to salute and wish a good day to strangers and travellers, but particularly to pray for the prosperity of harvest-labourers. Thus Boas prayed for his reapers. Ruth 2:4 , The Lord be with you. We must thus acknowledge God's providence, testify our good-will to our neighbours, and commend their industry, and it will be accepted of God as a pious ejaculation if it come from a devout and upright heart. 2. Religious expressions, being sacred things, must never be made use of in light and ludicrous actions. Mowing the grass on the house-top would be a jest, and therefore those that have a reverence for the name of God will not prostitute to it the usual forms of salutation, which savoured of devotion; for holy things must not be jested with. 3. It is a dangerous thing to let the church's enemies have our good wishes in their designs against the church. If we wish them God speed, we are partakers of their evil deeds, 2 John 1:11 . When it is said, None will bless them, and show them respect, more is implied, namely, that all wise and good people will cry out shame on them, and beg of God to defeat them; and woe to those that have the prayers of the saints against them.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
> 시온을 미워하는 자들이 다 수치를 당하고 물러날 것입니다. 그들은 자라기 전에 시들어버리는 지붕 위의 풀과 같을 것입니다. 거두는 사람이 손에 가득 쥐지 못하고, 단을 묶는 사람이 품에 안지 못할 것입니다. 지나가는 자들도 "여호와의 복이 당신들에게 있기를 바랍니다. 우리가 여호와의 이름으로 당신들을 축복합니다" 하지 않을 것입니다. (시편 129:5-8)
시편 기자는 교회를 멸망시키려고 지옥 깊이까지 파놓은 수많은 계략이 좌절된 것을 승리로 선언한 후, 드보라가 그 노래를 마친 것처럼 이 시편을 맺는다. "여호와여, 주의 모든 원수도 이와 같이 되게 하소서!"(사사기 5:31).
첫째, 시온을 미워하는 자들이 많이 있다. 시온의 하나님과 그분의 예배와 예배자들을 미워하고, 종교와 경건한 사람들에게 반감을 품으며, 둘 다를 파멸시키려 하고, 세상에 하나님의 교회가 존재하지 못하도록 할 수 있는 모든 것을 행하는 자들이 있다.
둘째, 우리는 교회를 향한 그들의 모든 공격이 좌절되도록 기도해야 한다. 그들이 계획하고 기대한 것을 이루지 못하고 수치를 당하여 물러나도록 기도해야 한다. "그들이 다 수치를 당할 것이다"라는 선언은 "그들이 다 수치를 당하게 하소서"와 같은 의미다. 예고되고 예언된 혼란은 비유로 설명된다. 하나님의 백성이 열매가 주렁주렁 달린 종려나무나 푸르고 열매 맺는 감람나무처럼 번성할 때, 그들의 원수들은 지붕 위의 풀처럼 시들 것이다. 그들은 사람으로서 두려워할 대상이 아니니, 그들이 풀같이 될 것이기 때문이다(이사야 51:12). 그러나 그들이 시온의 원수라는 점에서, 그들은 너무도 확실하게 멸망으로 낙인찍혀 있어서 지붕 위의 풀과 같은 경멸로 바라볼 수 있다. 지붕 위의 풀은 적고, 짧으며, 쓸모가 없다.
첫째로, 그것은 빠르게 죽는다. 아무런 뿌리가 없으므로 어떤 성숙에도 이르기 전에 시든다. 그 자리가 높다는 것이 아마도 그것의 자랑일 테지만, 오히려 태양의 뜨거운 열기에 더 많이 노출되어 더 빨리 시들고 만다. 어떤 역본은 "뽑히기 전에 시든다"고 읽기도 한다. 하나님의 교회를 대적하는 원수들은 스스로 시들며, 하나님의 심판에 의해 뿌리째 뽑힐 때까지 기다리지 않는다.
둘째로, 그것은 아무에게도 쓸모가 없다. 그들도 땅의 쓸모없는 짐에 불과하며, 시온을 향한 그들의 공격은 결코 무르익거나 어떤 결과에도 이르지 못할 것이다. 그들이 무엇을 기대하든, 농부가 지붕 위의 풀에서 얻는 것보다 더 많은 것을 그로부터 얻지 못할 것이다. "그들의 추수는 슬픔의 날에 산더미처럼 쌓일 것이다"(이사야 17:11).
셋째, 어떤 지혜로운 사람도 낫질하는 자나 추수꾼들을 위해 하나님의 복을 빌지 않을 것이다(시편 129:8). 주목할 점이 있다.
첫째, 나그네나 여행자들에게 인사하고 좋은 하루를 기원하는 것뿐만 아니라, 특히 추수하는 일꾼들의 번영을 위해 기도하는 것은 오래되고 칭찬할 만한 관습이었다. 그러므로 보아스는 자신의 추수꾼들을 위해 기도하였다. "여호와께서 당신들과 함께 하시기를 바랍니다"(룻기 2:4). 이런 방식으로 우리는 하나님의 섭리를 인정하고, 이웃에 대한 선의를 나타내며, 그들의 부지런함을 칭찬해야 한다. 이것이 경건하고 올바른 마음에서 나온다면 하나님께서는 이를 경건한 탄원으로 받아들이실 것이다.
둘째, 거룩한 것들인 종교적 표현들은 가볍고 우스꽝스러운 행동에 결코 사용되어서는 안 된다. 지붕 위의 풀을 베는 것은 우스갯소리가 될 것이므로, 하나님의 이름을 경외하는 자들은 경건의 풍취를 담은 일상적인 인사 형식을 그런 일에 남용하지 않을 것이다. 거룩한 것은 희롱거리가 되어서는 안 되기 때문이다.
셋째, 교회의 원수들이 교회를 향한 그들의 계획에서 우리의 선의를 받게 하는 것은 위험한 일이다. 우리가 그들에게 잘 되기를 바란다면, 우리는 그들의 악한 행위에 참여하는 자가 된다(요한이서 1:11). "아무도 그들을 축복하지 않는다"고 할 때, 더 나아가 암시된 것이 있다. 곧 모든 지혜롭고 선한 사람들이 그들을 수치스럽다고 외치며, 하나님께 그들을 패배시켜 달라고 간구한다는 것이다. 성도들의 기도를 자기에게 대적하여 받는 자들에게 화가 있을진저. "나는 그의 처소를 저주하였다"(욥기 5:3).
