Psalms Chapter 073 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

The psalmist's temptation. (1-14)
How he gained a victory over it. (15-20)
How he profited by it. (21-28)

Verses 1-14 The psalmist was strongly tempted to envy the prosperity of the wicked; a common temptation, which has tried the graces of many saints. But he lays down the great principle by which he resolved to abide. It is the goodness of God. This is a truth which cannot be shaken. Good thoughts of God will fortify against Satan's temptations. The faith even of strong believers may be sorely shaken, and ready to fail. There are storms that will try the firmest anchors. Foolish and wicked people have sometimes a great share of outward prosperity. They seem to have the least share of the troubles of this life; and they seem to have the greatest share of its comforts. They live without the fear of God, yet they prosper, and get on in the world. Wicked men often spend their lives without much sickness, and end them without great pain; while many godly persons scarcely know what health is, and die with great sufferings. Often the wicked are not frightened, either by the remembrance of their sins, or the prospect of their misery, but they die without terror. We cannot judge men's state beyond death, by what passes at their death. He looked abroad, and saw many of God's people greatly at a loss. Because the wicked are so very daring, therefore his people return hither; they know not what to say to it, and the rather, because they drink deep of the bitter cup of affliction. He spoke feelingly when he spoke of his own troubles; there is no disputing against sense, except by faith. From all this arose a strong temptation to cast off religion. But let us learn that the true course of sanctification consists in cleansing a man from all pollution both of soul and body. The heart is cleansed by the blood of Christ laid hold upon by faith; and by the begun works of the Lord's Spirit, manifested in the hearty resolution, purpose, and study of holiness, and a blameless course of life and actions, the hands are cleansed. It is not in vain to serve God and keep his ordinances.

○시73:1 의로운 자의 고난
  시73:1 정직한 자를 좋아하신 하나님
시 73:1 하나님이 참으로이스라엘 중 마음이 정결한 자에게 선을 행하시나 
시 73:2 나는 거의 실족할 뻔 하였고 내 걸음이 미끄러질 뻔 하였으니 
시 73:3 이는 내가 악인의 형통함을 보고 오만한 자를 질시하였음이로다 

  시73:4 악인들이 누리는 행복으로 고민함
시 73:4 저희는 죽는 때에도 고통이 없고 그 힘이 건강하며 
시 73:5 타인과 같은 고난이 없고 타인과 같은 재앙도 없나니 
시 73:6 그러므로 교만이 저희 목걸이요 강포가 저희의 입는 옷이며 
시 73:7 살찜으로 저희 눈이 솟아나며 저희 소득은 마음의 소원보다 지나며 
시 73:8 저희는 능욕하며 악하게 압제하여 말하며 거만히 말하며 
시 73:9 저희 입은 하늘에 두고 저희 혀는 땅에 두루 다니도다 
시 73:10 그러므로 그 백성이 이리로 돌아와서 잔에 가득한 물을 다 마시며 
시 73:11 말하기를 하나님이 어찌 알랴 지극히 높은 자에게 지식이 있으랴하도다 
시 73:12 볼지어다 이들은 악인이라 항상 평안하고 재물은 더 하도다 
시 73:13 내가 내 마음을 정히 하며 내 손을 씻어 무죄하다 한 것이 실로 헛되도다 
시 73:14 나는 종일 재앙을 당하며 아침마다 징책을 보았도다 

Verses 15-20 The psalmist having shown the progress of his temptation, shows how faith and grace prevailed. He kept up respect for God's people, and with that he restrained himself from speaking what he had thought amiss. It is a sign that we repent of the evil thoughts of the heart, if we suppress them. Nothing gives more offence to God's children, than to say it is vain to serve God; for there is nothing more contrary to their universal experience. He prayed to God to make this matter plain to him; and he understood the wretched end of wicked people; even in the height of their prosperity they were but ripening for ruin. The sanctuary must be the resort of a tempted soul. The righteous man's afflictions end in peace, therefore he is happy; the wicked man's enjoyments end in destruction, therefore he is miserable. The prosperity of the wicked is short and uncertain, slippery places. See what their prosperity is; it is but a vain show, it is only a corrupt imagination, not substance, but a mere shadow; it is as a dream, which may please us a little while we are slumbering, yet even then it disturbs our repose.

시 73:15 내가 만일 스스로 이르기를 내가 이렇게 말하리라 하였더면 주의 아들들의 시대를 대하여 궤휼을 행하였으리이다 
시 73:16 내가 어찌면 이를 알까 하여 생각한즉 내게 심히 곤란하더니 
시 73:17 하나님의 성소에 들어갈 때에야 저희 결국을 내가 깨달았나이다 
시 73:18 주께서 참으로 저희를 미끄러운 곳에 두시며 파멸에 던지시니 
시 73:19 저희가 어찌 그리 졸지에 황폐되었는가 놀람으로 전멸하였나이다 
시 73:20 주여 사람이 깬 후에는 꿈을 무시함같이 주께서 깨신 후에 저희 형상을 멸시하시리이다 

Verses 21-28 God would not suffer his people to be tempted, if his grace were not sufficient, not only to save them from harm, but to make them gainers by it. This temptation, the working of envy and discontent, is very painful. In reflecting upon it, the psalmist owns it was his folly and ignorance thus to vex himself. If good men, at any time, through the surprise and strength of temptation, think, or speak, or act amiss, they will reflect upon it with sorrow and shame. We must ascribe our safety in temptation, and our victory, not to our own wisdom, but to the gracious presence of God with us, and Christ's intercession for us. All who commit themselves to God, shall be guided with the counsel both of his word and of his Spirit, the best counsellors here, and shall be received to his glory in another world; the believing hopes and prospects of which will reconcile us to all dark providences. And the psalmist was hereby quickened to cleave the closer to God. Heaven itself could not make us happy without the presence and love of our God. The world and all its glory vanishes. The body will fail by sickness, age, and death; when the flesh fails, the conduct, courage, and comfort fail. But Christ Jesus, our Lord, offers to be all in all to every poor sinner, who renounces all other portions and confidences. By sin we are all far from God. And a profession Christ, if we go on in sin, will increase our condemnation. May we draw near, and keep near, to our God, by faith and prayer, and find it good to do so. Those that with an upright heart put their trust in God, shall never want matter for thanksgiving to him. Blessed Lord, who hast so graciously promised to become our portion in the next world, prevent us from choosing any other in this.

 


시 73:21 내 마음이 산란하며 내 심장이 찔렸나이다 

시 73:22 내가 이같이 우매 무지하니 주의 앞에 짐승이오나 

시 73:23 내가 항상 주와 함께하니 주께서 내 오른손을 붙드셨나이다 

시 73:24 주의 교훈으로 나를 인도하시고 후에는 영광으로 나를 영접하시리니 

시 73:25 하늘에서는 주 외에 누가 내게 있리요 땅에서는 주 밖에 나의 사모할 자 없나이다 

시 73:26 내 육체와 마음은 쇠잔하나 하나님은 내 마음의 반석이시요 영원한 분깃이시라 

시 73:27 대저 주를 멀리하는 자는 망하리니 음녀 같이 주를 떠난 자를 주께서 다 멸하셨나이다 

시 73:28 하나님께 가까이 함이 내게 복이라 내가 주 여호와를 나의 피난처로 삼아 주의 모든 행사를 전파하리이다
