본문의 중심내용

하나님의 성 시온의 영광을 찬양하는 시편입니다. 시인은 열방이 이스라엘과 동료가 되어 하나님을 인정하고 시온으로 모일 회복된 미래를 예언합니다.

[ 시편 87:1 - 87:7 ] (찬송550장)

고라 자손의 시 곧 노래〕

하나님의 영광스런 도성 시온 

1그의 터전이 성산에 있음이여 2여호와께서 야곱의 모든 거처보다 시온의 문들을 사랑하시는도다 3하나님의 성이여 너를 가리켜 영광스럽다 말하는도다 (셀라)

 포로 후 회복될 시온의 모습 

 4나는 라합과 바벨론이 나를 아는 자 중에 있다 말하리라 보라 블레셋과 두로와 구스여 이것들도 거기서 났다 하리로다 5시온에 대하여 말하기를 이 사람, 저 사람이 거기서 났다고 말하리니 지존자가 친히 시온을 세우리라 하는도다 6여호와께서 민족들을 등록하실 때에는 그 수를 세시며 이 사람이 거기서 났다 하시리로다 (셀라)

 회복된 시온으로 인한 기쁨의 찬양 

 7노래하는 자와 뛰어 노는 자들이 말하기를 나의 모든 근원이 네게 있다 하리로다

[ Psalms 87:1 - 87:7 ]

[A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.]1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;2 the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.  3Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah  4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush— “This one was born there,” they say.5 And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her.6 The LORD records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah7 Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”  

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

The Israelites had been taken as captives and had become widely scattered while Zion lay lied in ruins. Against this backdrop, the poet sung of the beauty of God’s city of Zion. Zion is God’s most beloved city and a city that was admired by all the nations. The poet looked ahead to the day that Zion would be restored. On that day, the nations that had taken the Israelites captive would gather in Zion. God would joyfully welcome them as people of Zion and all the people would sing of Zion’s beauty together (vv. 1-7). 

Who is God?

Vv. 1-7 God is the Lord of Zion, the source of all nations, people and events. Zion is the source (spring) of life, from which the river of the word that revives all creation flows out. Therefore, all powers, all wisdom and all cultures can demonstrate their full potential when they are baptized by the Word on Zion. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 1-7 Zion is the source and the hometown to which we must return. Those who know this source do not despair even when they have fallen into a mire. When we cannot see the path ahead, let’s calmly go before the God of Zion. Let’s gain strength from the spring of Zion and start anew. Meditation is a daily pilgrimage to and from Zion. 

Prayer

Lord, I pray that my wisdom and abilities will be renewed by the Word which flows from Zion.
