聖經閱讀：詩篇43:1-5
2012年11月7日(三)
詩篇讓我們知道弦樂器在以前也被用來讚美上帝。今天經文的第4節說：「上帝啊，我就要到你的祭壇前，到賜給我無限喜樂的上帝面前。上帝，我的上帝啊，我要彈琴歌頌你。」在聖殿敬拜時，豎琴與古希臘琴都是很重要的弦樂器。豎琴是用木頭作的，有10到12條弦，用手指彈奏時會發出很大的聲音。古希臘琴比豎琴小，有5到10條弦，需要用一種叫「弦撥」的工具來彈奏。 詩篇的其它經節也提到了弦樂器。詩篇98:5-6節說：「要歌唱頌讚上主；要彈豎琴頌讚他。要用號筒和號角，在上主─我們的王面前歡呼。」 到現在為止，我們已經談過用唱歌、跳舞和彈琴來讚美上帝。哇！有這麼多不同的方法可以向上帝表達我們的愛與感謝。—DF 「用十弦樂器伴奏，配合豎琴的旋律。」 詩篇92:3
禱告：天父，我們要全心讚美祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Psalms Music (3)
Bible Reading: Psalm 43:1-5

The Book of Psalms shows us that stringed instruments were also used to praise God. Verse 4 of our Bible Reading today says, “I will come to God’s altar. I will come to the God who makes me so very happy. God, my God, I will praise you with a harp.” The harp and lyre were stringed instruments that were very important in temple worship. The harp was made of wood and had 10-12 strings. It was played with the fingers and gave off a loud sound. A lyre was smaller than a harp and played with a tool called a plectrum. A lyre had 5-10 strings. Many other verses in Psalms mention stringed instruments. Psalm 98:5-6 says, “Every person on earth, shout with joy to the Lord. Quickly, start singing songs of praise! Harps, praise the Lord. Music from the harps, praise him.” So far, we have talked about praising God by singing, dancing and playing instruments. Wow! There are many different ways that we can show God our love and thanks. —DF “God, it is good to play music for you on ten-stringed instruments, harps, and lyres.” Psalm 92:3
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we praise You with all our hearts. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
