Song of Solomon Chapter 04 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Christ sets forth the graces of the church. (1-7)
Christ's love to the church. (8-15)
The church desires further influences of Divine grace. (16)

Verses 1-7 If each of these comparisons has a meaning applicable to the graces of the church, or of the faithful Christian, they are not clearly known; and great mistakes are made by fanciful guesses. The mountain of myrrh appears to mean the mountain Moriah, on which the temple was built, where the incense was burned, and the people worshipped the Lord. This was his residence till the shadows of the law given to Moses were dispersed by the breaking of the gospel day, and the rising of the Sun of righteousness. And though, in respect of his human nature, Christ is absent from his church on earth, and will continue to be so till the heavenly day break, yet he is spiritually present in his ordinances, and with his people. How fair and comely are believers, when justified in Christ's righteousness, and adorned with spiritual graces! when their thoughts, words, and deeds, though imperfect, are pure, manifesting a heart nourished by the gospel!

○아4:1 신혼이 끝남
  아4:1 신혼의 아름다움을 노래
아 4:1 내 사랑 너는 어여쁘고도 어여쁘다 너울 속에 있는 네 눈이 비둘기 같고 네 머리털은 길르앗산 기슭에 누운 무리 염소 같구나 
아 4:2 네 이는 목욕장에서 나온 털 깎인 암양 곧 새끼 없는 것은 하나도 없이 각각 쌍태를 낳은 양 같구나 
아 4:3 네 입술은 홍색 실 같고 네 입은 어여쁘고 너울 속의 네 뺨은 석류 한 쪽 같구나 
아 4:4 네 목은 군기를 두려고 건축한 다윗의 망대 곧,일천 방패 용사의 모든 방패가 달린 망대같고 
아 4:5 네 두 유방은 백합화 가운데서 꼴을 먹는 쌍태 노루 새끼 같구나 
아 4:6 날이 기울고 그림자가 갈 때에 내가 몰약 산과 유향의 작은 산으로 가리라 

  아4:7 나의 누이 나의 신부야
아 4:7 나의 사랑 너는 순전히 어여뻐서 아무 흠이 없구나 

Verses 8-15 Observe the gracious call Christ gives to the church. It is, 1. A precept; so this is Christ's call to his church to come off from the world. These hills seem pleasant, but there are in them lions' dens; they are mountains of the leopards. 2. As a promise; many shall be brought as members of the church, from every point. The church shall be delivered from her persecutors in due time, though now she dwells among lions, ( Psalms 57:4 ) . Christ's heart is upon his church; his treasure is therein; and he delights in the affection she has for him; its working in the heart, and its works in the life. The odours wherewith the spouse is perfumed, are as the gifts and graces of the Spirit. Love and obedience to God are more pleasing to Christ than sacrifice or incense. Christ having put upon his spouse the white raiment of his own righteousness, and the righteousness of saints, and perfumed it with holy joy and comfort, he is well pleased with it. And Christ walks in his garden unseen. A hedge of protection is made around, which all the powers of darkness cannot break through. The souls of believers are as gardens enclosed, where is a well of living water, ( John 4:14 , John 7:38 ) , the influences of the Holy Spirit. The world knows not these wells of salvation, nor can any opposer corrupt this fountain. Saints in the church, and graces in the saints, are fitly compared to fruits and spices. They are planted, and do not grow of themselves. They are precious; they are the blessings of this earth. They will be kept to good purpose when flowers are withered. Grace, when ended in glory, will last for ever. Christ is the source which makes these gardens fruitful; even a well of living waters.

아 4:8 나의 신부야 너는 레바논에서부터 나와 함께 하고 레바논에서부터 나와 함께 가자 아마나와 스닐과 헤르몬 꼭대기에서 사자 굴 과 표범 산에서 내려다보아라 
아 4:9 나의 누이 나의 신부야 네가 내 마음을 빼앗았구나 네 눈으로 한번 보는 것과 네 목의 구슬 한 꿰미로 내 마음을 빼앗았 구나 
아 4:10 나의 누이 나의 신부야 네 사랑이 어찌 그리 아름다운지 네 사랑은 포도주에 지나고 네 기름의 향기는 각양 향품보다 승하구나 
아 4:11 내 신부야 네 입술에서는 꿀 방울이 떨어지고 네 혀 밑에는 꿀과 젖이 있고 네 의복의 향기는 레바논의 향기 같구나 
아 4:12 나의 누이,나의 신부는 잠근 동산이요 덮은 우물이요 봉한 샘이로구나 
아 4:13 네게서 나는 것은 석류나무와 각종 아름다운 과수와 고벨화와 나도초와 
아 4:14 나도와 번홍화와 창포와 계수와 각종 유향목과 몰약과 침향과 모든 귀한 향품이요 
아 4:15 너는 동산의 샘이요 생수의 우물이요 레바논에서부터 흐르는 시내로구나 

Verse 16 The church prays for the influences of the blessed Spirit, to make this garden fruitful. Graces in the soul are as spices in these gardens, that in them which is valuable and useful. The blessed Spirit, in his work upon the soul, is as the wind. There is the north wind of conviction, and the south wind of comfort. He stirs up good affections, and works in us both to will and to do that which is good. The church invites Christ. Let him have the honour of all the garden produces, and let us have the comfort of his acceptance of it. We can invite him to nothing but what is his own already. The believer can have no joy of the fruits, unless they redound some way or other to the glory of Christ. Let us then seek to keep separate from the world, as a garden enclosed, and to avoid conformity thereto.

 


아 4:16 북풍아 일어나라 남풍아 오라 나의 동산에 불어서 향기를 날리라나의 사랑하는 자가 그 동산에 들어가서 그 아름다운 실과 먹기 를 원하노라
