The Glory of Zion. A psalm or song for the sons of Korah. 1 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. Some make the first words of the psalm to be part of the title; it is a psalm or song whose subject is the holy mountains--the temple built in Zion upon Mount Moriah. This is the foundation of the argument, or beginning of the psalm. Or we may suppose the psalmist had now the tabernacle or temple in view and was contemplating the glories of it, and at length he breaks out into this expression, which has reference, though not to what he had written before, yet to what he had thought of; every one knew what he meant when he said thus abruptly, Its foundation is in the holy mountains. Three things are here observed, in praise of the temple:-- 1. That it was founded on the holy mountains, Psalms 87:1 ; Psalms 87:1 . The church has a foundation, so that it cannot sink or totter; Christ himself is the foundation of it, which God has laid. The Jerusalem above is a city that has foundations. The foundation is upon the mountains. It is built high; the mountain of the Lord's house is established upon the top of the mountains, Isaiah 2:2 . It is built firmly; the mountains are rocky, and on a rock the church is built. The world is founded upon the seas ( Psalms 24:2 ), which are continually ebbing and flowing, and are a very weak foundation; Babel was built in a plain, where the ground was rotten. But the church is built upon the everlasting mountains and the perpetual hills; for sooner shall the mountains depart, and the hills be removed, than the covenant of God's peace shall be disannulled, and on that the church is built, Isaiah 54:10 . The foundation is upon the holy mountains. Holiness is the strength and stability of the church: it is this that will support it and keep it from sinking; not so much that it is built upon mountains as that it is built upon holy mountains--upon the promise of God, for the confirming of which he has sworn by his holiness, upon the sanctification of the Spirit, which will secure the happiness of all the saints. 2. That God had expressed a particular affection for it ( Psalms 87:2 ; Psalms 87:2 ): The Lord loveth the gates of Zion, of the temple, of the houses of doctrine (so the Chaldee), more than all the dwellings of Jacob, whether in Jerusalem or any where else in the country. God had said concerning Zion, This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell. There he met his people, and conversed with them, received their homage, and showed them the tokens of his favour, and therefore we may conclude how well he loves those gates. Note, (1.) God has a love for the dwellings of Jacob, has a gracious regard to religious families and accepts their family-worship. (2.) Yet he loves the gates of Zion better, not only better than any, but better than all, of the dwellings of Jacob. God was worshipped in the dwellings of Jacob, and family-worship is family-duty, which must by no means be neglected; yet, when they come in competition, public worship ( cæteris paribus--other things being equal ) is to be preferred before private. 3. That there was much said concerning it in the word of God ( Psalms 87:3 ; Psalms 87:3 ): Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God! We are to judge of things and persons by the figure they make and the estimate put upon them in and by the scripture. Many base things were spoken of the city of God by the enemies of it, to render it mean and odious; but by him whose judgment we are sure is according to truth glorious things are spoken of it. God said of the temple, My eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually; I have sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever, 2 Chronicles 7:16 . Beautiful for situation is Mount Zion, Psalms 48:2 . These are glorious things. Yet more glorious things are spoken of the gospel-church. It is the spouse of Christ, the purchase of his blood; it is a peculiar people, a holy nation, a royal priesthood, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Let us not be ashamed of the church of Christ in its meanest condition, nor of any that belong to it, nor disown our relation to it, though it be turned ever so much to our reproach, since such glorious things are spoken of it, and not on iota or tittle of what is said shall fall to the ground. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-4-7" class="com-number"

시온의 영광. 고라 자손의 시 혹은 노래. 1 그의 터전은 거룩한 산들 위에 있습니다. 2 여호와는 야곱의 모든 거처보다 시온의 문들을 더 사랑하십니다. 3 하나님의 성이여, 너에 대해 영광스러운 것들이 말해지는구나. 셀라.
어떤 이들은 이 시편의 첫 구절들을 제목의 일부로 여긴다. 이것은 거룩한 산들, 즉 모리아산 위 시온에 세워진 성전을 주제로 하는 시 혹은 노래다. 이것이 논증의 토대이자 시편의 시작이다. 혹은 시편 기자가 지금 성막이나 성전을 바라보며 그 영광을 묵상하다가 마침내 이 표현으로 터뜨렸다고 볼 수도 있다. 이것은 그가 앞서 쓴 내용이 아니라 묵상하던 내용과 관련된 것으로, 그가 "그 터전은 거룩한 산들 위에 있다"고 말할 때 모두가 그 의미를 알았다. 성전을 찬양하는 세 가지 내용이 여기 나온다.
1. 성전은 거룩한 산들 위에 세워졌다(시 87:1). 교회에는 기초가 있으므로 무너지거나 흔들리지 않는다. 하나님이 놓으신 그리스도 자신이 그 기초다. 하늘의 예루살렘은 기초를 가진 성이다. 그 기초는 산들 위에 있다. 높이 세워졌으니, 여호와의 전이 있는 산은 모든 산들 꼭대기에 굳게 서 있을 것이다(사 2:2). 튼튼하게 세워졌으니, 산들은 바위로 이루어져 있고 교회는 반석 위에 세워져 있다. 세상은 바다 위에 세워졌으나(시 24:2) 바다는 쉬지 않고 밀려오고 밀려가는 매우 약한 기초다. 바벨은 땅이 물렁한 평원에 세워졌다. 그러나 교회는 영원한 산들과 영구적인 언덕들 위에 세워져 있으니, 산들이 떠나고 언덕들이 옮겨질지언정 하나님의 평화의 언약은 폐하지 않을 것이며(사 54:10), 교회는 그 위에 세워져 있다. 그 기초는 거룩한 산들 위에 있다. 거룩함이 교회의 힘과 안정이다. 교회가 산들 위에 세워졌다는 것보다 거룩한 산들 위에 세워졌다는 것, 즉 하나님의 약속 위에, 성령의 성화 위에 세워졌다는 것이 교회를 지탱하고 무너지지 않게 한다.
2. 하나님이 성전에 특별한 애정을 표현하셨다(시 87:2). 여호와는 야곱의 모든 거처보다, 예루살렘이든 다른 어느 곳이든 상관없이, 시온의 문들, 즉 성전의 문들, 가르침의 집의 문들을(칼데아 역본)을 더 사랑하신다. 하나님은 시온에 대해 "이것이 내가 영원히 쉴 곳이요, 내가 여기에 거할 것이다"라고 말씀하셨다. 거기서 하나님은 백성을 만나 그들과 대화하시고, 그들의 경배를 받으시며, 그들에게 은총의 표시를 보여 주셨다. 그러므로 우리는 하나님이 그 문들을 얼마나 사랑하시는지 알 수 있다. 주목할 점은, (1) 하나님은 야곱의 거처들을 사랑하시며, 경건한 가정과 가정 예배를 은혜로이 여기신다는 것이다. (2) 그러나 하나님은 야곱의 어떤 거처보다, 아니 모든 거처보다 시온의 문들을 더 사랑하신다. 하나님은 야곱의 거처에서도 예배받으셨고 가정 예배는 절대 소홀히 해서는 안 되는 가정의 의무지만, 다른 조건이 같다면 공예배가 개인 예배보다 우선되어야 한다.
3. 하나님의 말씀 안에 성전에 관한 많은 내용이 담겨 있다(시 87:3). "하나님의 성이여, 너에 관해 영광스러운 것들이 말해진다!" 우리는 성경에서 사물과 사람에 대해 어떻게 평가하는지를 기준으로 판단해야 한다. 원수들은 하나님의 성에 대해 많은 비천한 말을 하여 천하고 혐오스럽게 보이게 하지만, 그 판단이 참되다고 우리가 확신하는 분은 영광스러운 것들을 말씀하신다. 하나님은 성전에 대해 "내 눈과 마음이 항상 거기 있을 것이요, 내 이름이 그 곳에 영원히 있도록 이 성전을 거룩하게 하였노라"고 말씀하셨다(대하 7:16). "시온산은 그 위치가 아름다우며"(시 48:2). 이것들이 영광스러운 것들이다. 그러나 복음 교회에 관해서는 더욱 영광스러운 것들이 말해진다. 교회는 그리스도의 신부요 그분의 피로 값 주고 사신 것이며, 택하신 족속이요 거룩한 나라요 왕 같은 제사장이며, 음부의 권세가 이기지 못할 것이다. 아무리 비난을 받더라도 우리는 가장 미천한 상황에 처한 그리스도의 교회를 부끄러워하거나, 교회에 속한 이들을 부끄러워하거나, 교회와의 관계를 부인해서는 안 된다. 왜냐하면 그에 관해 이토록 영광스러운 것들이 말해지며, 그 말씀 중 한 자 한 획도 땅에 떨어지지 않을 것이기 때문이다.

P S A L M S PSALM LXXXVII. The foregoing psalm was very plain and easy, but in this are things dark and hard to be understood. It is an encomium of Zion, as a type and figure of the gospel-church, to which what is here spoken is very applicable. Zion, for the temple's sake, is here preferred, I. Before the rest of the land of Canaan, as being crowned with special tokens of God's favour, Psalms 87:1-3 . II. Before any other place or country whatsoever, as being replenished with more eminent men and with a greater plenty of divine blessings, Psalms 87:4-7 . Some think it was penned to express the joy of God's people when Zion was in a flourishing state; others think it was penned to encourage their faith and hope when Zion was in ruins and was to be rebuilt after the captivity. Though no man cared for her ( Jeremiah 30:17 , "This is Zion whom no man seeketh after"), yet God had done great things for her, and spoken glorious things of her, which should all have their perfection and accomplishment in the gospel-church; to that therefore we must have an eye in singing this psalm. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-3" class="com-number"

시편 87편: 시온의 영광. 앞의 시편은 매우 평이하고 이해하기 쉬웠으나, 이 시편에는 어둡고 이해하기 어려운 내용이 담겨 있다. 이 시편은 복음 교회의 모형이요 예표인 시온에 대한 찬사로서, 여기서 말하는 내용은 복음 교회에 매우 잘 적용된다. 시온은 성전 때문에 두 가지 면에서 높임을 받는다. 첫째, 하나님의 특별한 은총의 표시로 면류관을 쓴 곳으로서 가나안 땅의 다른 모든 곳보다 뛰어나다(시 87:1-3). 둘째, 더욱 탁월한 인물들과 더욱 풍성한 하나님의 복으로 가득 찬 곳으로서 그 어떤 다른 장소나 나라보다도 뛰어나다(시 87:4-7).
어떤 이들은 이 시편이 시온이 번성할 때 하나님 백성의 기쁨을 표현하기 위해 지어졌다고 생각하고, 또 어떤 이들은 시온이 무너지고 포로기 이후 재건되어야 할 때에 믿음과 소망을 북돋우기 위해 지어졌다고 생각한다. 비록 아무도 그를 돌아보지 않았어도(렘 30:17, "아무도 찾지 않는 시온이라 하는도다"), 하나님은 그를 위해 큰 일을 행하셨고 그에 관해 영광스러운 일들을 말씀하셨으며, 그 모든 것은 복음 교회 안에서 완성되고 성취될 것이다. 그러므로 우리는 이 시편을 노래할 때 복음 교회를 바라봐야 한다.

The Glory of Zion. 4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. Zion is here compared with other places, and preferred before them; the church of Christ is more glorious and excellent than the nations of the earth. 1. It is owned that other places have their glories ( Psalms 87:4 ; Psalms 87:4 ): " I will make mention of Rahab " (that is, Egypt) "and Babylon, to those that know me and are about me, and with whom I discourse about public affairs; behold Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia " (or rather Arabia), "we will observe that this man was born there; here and there one famous man, eminent for knowledge and virtue, may be produced, that was a native of these countries; here and there one that becomes a proselyte and worshipper of the true God." But some give another sense of it, supposing that it is a prophecy or promise of bringing the Gentiles into the church and of uniting them in one body with the Jews. God says, " I will reckon Egypt and Babylon with those that know me. I will reckon them my people as much as Israel when they shall receive the gospel of Christ, and own them as born in Zion, born again there, and admitted to the privileges of Zion as freely as a true-born Israelite." Those that were strangers and foreigners became fellow-citizens with the saints, Ephesians 2:19 . A Gentile convert shall stand upon a level with a native Jew; compare Isaiah 19:23-25 . The Lord shall say, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance. 2. It is proved that the glory of Zion outshines them all, upon many accounts; for, (1.) Zion shall produce many great and good men that shall be famous in their generation, Psalms 87:5 ; Psalms 87:5 . Of Zion it shall be said by all her neighbours that this and that man were born in her, many men of renown for wisdom and piety, and especially for acquaintance with the words of God and the visions of the Almighty--many prophets and kings, who should be greater favourites of heaven, and greater blessings to the earth, than ever were bred in Egypt or Babylon. The worthies of the church far exceed those of heathen nations, and their names will shine brighter than in perpetual records. A man, a man was born in her, by which some understand Christ, that man, that son of man, who is fairer than the children of men; he was born at Bethlehem near Zion, and was the glory of his people Israel. The greatest honour that ever was put upon the Jewish nation was, that of them, as concerning the flesh, Christ came, Romans 9:5 . Or this also may be applied to the conversion of the Gentiles. Of Zion it shall be said that the law which went forth out of Zion, the gospel of Christ, shall be an instrument to beget many souls to God, and the Jerusalem that is from above shall be acknowledged the mother of them all. (2.) Zion's interest shall be strengthened and settled by an almighty power. The Highest himself shall undertake to establish her, who can do it effectually; the accession of proselytes out of various nations shall be so far from occasioning discord and division that it shall contribute greatly to Zion's strength; for, God himself having founded her upon an everlasting foundation, whatever convulsions and revolutions there are of states and kingdoms, and however heaven and earth may be shaken, these are things which cannot be shaken, but must remain. (3.) Zion's sons shall be registered with honour ( Psalms 87:6 ; Psalms 87:6 ): " The Lord shall count, when he writes up the people, and takes a catalogue of his subjects, that this man was born there, and so is a subject by birth, by the first birth, being born in his house--by the second birth, being born again of his Spirit." When God comes to reckon with the children of men, that he may render to every man according to his works, he will observe who was born in Zion, and consequently enjoyed the privileges of God's sanctuary, to whom pertained the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the service of God, Romans 9:4 ; Romans 3:1 ; Romans 3:2 . For to them much was given, and therefore of them much will be required, and the account will be accordingly; five talents must be improved by those that were entrusted with five. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, and where thou was born. Selah. Let those that dwell in Zion mark this, and live up to their profession. (4.) Zion's songs shall be sung with joy and triumph: As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there to praise God, Psalms 87:7 ; Psalms 87:7 . It was much to the honour of Zion, and is to the honour of the gospel-church, that there God is served and worshipped with rejoicing: his work is done, and done cheerfully; see Psalms 68:25 . All my springs are in thee, O Zion! So God says; he has deposited treasures of grace in his holy ordinances; there are the springs from which those streams take rise which make glad the city of our God, Psalms 46:4 . So the psalmist says, reckoning the springs from which his dry soul must be watered to lie in the sanctuary, in the word and ordinances, and in the communion of saints. The springs of the joy of a carnal worldling lie in wealth and pleasure; but the springs of the joy of a gracious soul lie in the word of God and prayer. Christ is the true temple; all our springs are in him, and from him all our streams flow. It pleased the Father, and all believers are well pleased with it too, that in him should all fulness dwell. return to ' Top of Page ' Psalms Psa 86 Psalms Psa Psalms Psa 88 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
시온의 영광. 4 나를 아는 자들에게 내가 라합과 바벨론을 언급하리로다. 보라, 블레셋과 두로와 에티오피아여, 이 사람은 저기서 태어났다고 하는도다. 5 시온에 대해서는 이 사람 저 사람이 거기서 태어났다고 말해질 것이요, 지극히 높으신 이 친히 시온을 세우실 것이라 하는도다. 6 여호와는 백성들을 등록할 때에 이 사람이 거기서 태어났다고 기록하시리로다. 셀라. 7 노래하는 자들도 악기 연주자들도 다 거기 있으리로다. 내 모든 샘이 네 안에 있다.
시온을 다른 곳들과 비교하고 그 모든 곳보다 뛰어남을 보여 준다. 그리스도의 교회는 지상의 나라들보다 더욱 영광스럽고 탁월하다.
1. 다른 곳들도 자신의 영광이 있음을 인정한다(시 87:4). "나를 아는 자들, 나의 측근으로 공적 사안을 함께 의논하는 자들에게 내가 라합(즉 이집트)과 바벨론을 언급하리라. 보라, 블레셋과 두로와 에티오피아(혹은 아라비아)를 — 우리는 이 사람이 저기서 태어났다고 말한다. 이 나라들 출신으로 지식과 덕으로 유명한 뛰어난 인물, 참 하나님을 예배하는 개종자가 간혹 나올 것이다." 그러나 어떤 이들은 이를 이방 사람들을 교회로 불러들이고 그들을 유대인들과 한 몸으로 연합하는 것에 관한 예언이나 약속으로 해석한다. 하나님이 말씀하신다. "내가 이집트와 바벨론을 나를 아는 자들로 여기겠다. 그들이 그리스도의 복음을 받아들일 때 나는 그들을 이스라엘만큼 내 백성으로 여기고, 진정한 이스라엘 사람처럼 시온에서 태어난, 즉 거기서 거듭난 자들로 인정하여 시온의 특권을 자유롭게 누리게 하겠다." 낯선 사람들과 외국인들이 성도들과 함께 동일한 시민이 된 것이다(엡 2:19). 이방 개종자는 본토 유대인과 동등한 위치에 서게 된다. 이사야 19:23-25을 비교하라. "여호와께서 이르시기를 이집트 내 백성, 앗시리아 내 손으로 만든 것, 이스라엘 내 유산이 복되도다 하시리라."
2. 시온의 영광이 모든 것을 능가함을 여러 근거로 증명한다. (1) 시온은 그 세대에 유명해질 많은 위인들과 선인들을 배출할 것이다(시 87:5). 시온에서 이 사람 저 사람이 태어났다고 이웃 모두가 말하게 될 것이니, 지혜와 경건으로 명성이 높고 특히 하나님의 말씀과 전능자의 환상에 친숙한 수많은 인물들, 이집트나 바벨론에서 자란 어떤 이들보다 하늘의 더 큰 사랑을 받고 땅에는 더 큰 복이 될 많은 선지자들과 왕들이 나올 것이다. 교회의 위인들은 이방 나라들의 위인들을 훨씬 능가하며, 그 이름은 영구적인 기록 속에서 더욱 빛나게 될 것이다. "사람, 그 사람이 거기서 태어났다"는 구절에서 어떤 이들은 사람의 자녀들보다 더 아름다운(시 45:2) 그 사람, 인자이신 그리스도를 이해한다. 그분은 시온 근처 베들레헴에서 태어나셨고 그 백성 이스라엘의 영광이셨다. 유대 민족에게 주어진 가장 큰 영예는 육신으로는 그들에게서 그리스도가 나셨다는 것이다(롬 9:5). 혹은 이것도 이방 사람들의 회심에 적용될 수 있다. 시온에서 나간 율법, 즉 그리스도의 복음이 하나님께로 많은 영혼들을 낳는 도구가 되어, 위에 있는 예루살렘이 그들 모두의 어머니로 인정받게 될 것이라고 시온에 대해 말해질 것이다. (2) 시온의 이익은 전능하신 능력으로 강화되고 확립된다. 지극히 높으신 분 친히 시온을 세우시는 것을 맡으셨으니, 그분은 그 일을 효과적으로 하실 수 있다. 다양한 나라에서 개종자들이 들어오는 것은 불화와 분열을 일으키기는커녕 오히려 시온의 힘에 크게 기여할 것이다. 하나님 자신이 영원한 기초 위에 시온을 세우셨으므로, 나라들과 왕국들이 어떤 격변과 변혁을 겪든지, 하늘과 땅이 흔들릴지라도, 이것들은 흔들릴 수 없고 반드시 남아 있을 것이다. (3) 시온의 아들들은 영예롭게 등록될 것이다(시 87:6). "여호와는 백성들을 등록하고 신하들의 명부를 작성하실 때, 이 사람이 거기서 태어났으며 따라서 첫 번째 출생으로, 즉 그분의 집에서 태어남으로, 두 번째 출생으로, 즉 그분의 성령으로 거듭남으로 본국 출생의 신하임을 기록하실 것이다." 하나님이 각 사람의 행위대로 갚으시기 위해 사람들을 심판하러 오실 때, 하나님은 누가 시온에서 태어났는지, 따라서 하나님의 성소의 특권을 누렸는지, 즉 양자 됨과 영광과 언약들과 하나님을 섬김이 그들에게 속한 것인지를 살피실 것이다(롬 9:4; 3:1-2). 많이 받은 자들에게서 많이 요구할 것이기 때문이다. 다섯 달란트를 맡은 자들은 다섯 달란트로 이익을 남겨야 한다. "나는 네 행위와 네가 사는 곳과 네가 태어난 곳을 안다." 셀라. 시온에 거하는 자들은 이것을 명심하고 신앙 고백에 걸맞게 살아야 한다. (4) 시온의 노래들은 기쁨과 승리로 불릴 것이다. 노래하는 자들도 악기 연주자들도 다 거기서 하나님을 찬양할 것이다(시 87:7). 시온의 영예요 복음 교회의 영예인 것은, 거기서 하나님이 기쁨으로 섬김과 예배를 받으신다는 것이다. 그분의 일은 행해지며, 기쁘게 행해진다(시 68:25 참조). 하나님이 말씀하신다. "내 모든 샘이 네 안에 있다, 오 시온이여!" 하나님은 자신의 거룩한 예식들 안에 은혜의 보고들을 쌓아 두셨다. 거기에 우리 하나님의 성을 기쁘게 하는 강들이 솟아나는 샘들이 있다(시 46:4). 시편 기자도 말한다. 그가 메마른 영혼을 적셔야 할 샘들이 성소에, 말씀과 예식들 안에, 성도들의 교제 안에 있다고 여기면서. 육신적 세상 사람의 기쁨의 샘은 재물과 쾌락에 있지만, 은혜로운 영혼의 기쁨의 샘은 하나님의 말씀과 기도에 있다. 그리스도가 참 성전이시다. 우리의 모든 샘은 그분 안에 있고 그분에게서 모든 시내가 흘러나온다. 아버지가 기뻐하셨고 모든 믿는 자들도 기꺼이 여기는 바는, 모든 충만이 그분 안에 거하시는 것이다.
