span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.18.1" class="versetxt"> 1 わが力なる主よ、わたしはあなたを愛します。2 主はわが岩、わが城、わたしを救う者、わが神、わが寄り頼む岩、わが盾、わが救の角、わが高きやぐらです。3 わたしはほめまつるべき主に呼ばわって、わたしの敵から救われるのです。4 死の綱は、わたしを取り巻き、滅びの大水は、わたしを襲いました。5 陰府の綱は、わたしを囲み、死のわなは、わたしに立ちむかいました。6 わたしは悩みのうちに主に呼ばわり、わが神に叫び求めました。主はその宮からわたしの声を聞かれ、主にさけぶわたしの叫びがその耳に達しました。7 そのとき地は揺れ動き、山々の基は震い動きました。主がお怒りになったからです。8 煙はその鼻から立ちのぼり、火はその口から出て焼きつくし、炭はそれによって燃えあがりました。9 主は天をたれて下られ、暗やみがその足の下にありました。10 主はケルブに乗って飛び、風の翼をもってかけり、11 やみをおおいとして、自分のまわりに置き、水を含んだ暗い濃き雲をその幕屋とされました。12 そのみ前の輝きから濃き雲を破って、ひょうと燃える炭とが降ってきました。13 主はまた天に雷をとどろかせ、いと高き者がみ声を出されると、ひょうと燃える炭とが降ってきました。14 主は矢を放って彼らを散らし、いなずまをひらめかして彼らを打ち敗られました。15 主よ、そのとき、あなたのとがめと、あなたの鼻のいぶきとによって、海の底はあらわれ、地の基があらわになったのです。16 主は高い所からみ手を伸べて、わたしを捕え、大水からわたしを引きあげ、17 わたしの強い敵と、わたしを憎む者とからわたしを助け出されました。彼らはわたしにまさって強かったからです。18 彼らはわたしの災の日にわたしを襲いました。しかし主はわたしのささえとなられました。19 主はわたしを広い所につれ出し、わたしを喜ばれるがゆえに、わたしを助けられました。20 主はわたしの義にしたがってわたしに報い、わたしの手の清きにしたがってわたしに報いかえされました。21 わたしは主の道を守り、悪意をもって、わが神を離れたことがなかったのです、22 そのすべてのおきてはわたしの前にあって、わたしはその定めを捨てたことがなかったのです。23 わたしは主の前に欠けたところがなく、自分を守って罪を犯しませんでした。24 このゆえに主はわたしの義にしたがい、その目の前にわたしの手の清きにしたがってわたしに報いられました。25 あなたはいつくしみある者には、いつくしみある者となり、欠けたところのない者には、欠けたところのない者となり、26 清い者には、清い者となり、ひがんだ者には、ひがんだ者となられます。27 あなたは苦しんでいる民を救われますが、高ぶる目をひくくされるのです。28 あなたはわたしのともしびをともし、わが神、主はわたしのやみを照されます。29 まことに、わたしはあなたによって敵軍を打ち破り、わが神によって城壁をとび越えることができます。30 この神こそ、その道は完全であり、主の言葉は真実です。主はすべて寄り頼む者の盾です。31 主のほかに、だれが神でしょうか。われらの神のほかに、だれが岩でしょうか。32 神はわたしに力を帯びさせ、わたしの道を安全にされました。33 神はわたしの足をめじかの足のようにされ、わたしを高い所に安全に立たせ、34 わたしの手を戦いに慣らされたので、わたしの腕は青銅の弓をもひくことができます。35 あなたはその救の盾をわたしに与え、あなたの右の手はわたしをささえ、あなたの助けはわたしを大いなる者とされました。36 あなたがわたしの歩む所を広くされたので、わたしの足はすべらなかったのです。37 わたしは敵を追って、これに追いつき、これを滅ぼしつくすまでは帰らなかったのです。38 わたしが彼らを突き通したので、彼らは立ちあがることができず、わたしの足もとに倒れました。39 あなたは戦いのためにわたしに力を帯びさせ、わたしに立ち向かう者らをわたしのもとに、かがませられました。40 あなたは敵にその後をわたしに向けさせられたので、わたしは自分を憎む者を滅ぼしました。41 彼らは助けを叫び求めたが、救う者はなく、主にむかって叫んだけれども、彼らに答えられなかったのです。42 わたしは彼らを風の前のちりのように細かに砕き、ちまたの泥のように打ち捨てました。43 あなたは民の争いからわたしを救い、わたしをもろもろの国民のかしらとされました。わたしの知らなかった民がわたしに仕えました。44 彼らはわたしの事を聞くと、ただちにわたしに従い、異邦の人々はきて、わたしにへつらいました。45 異邦の人々は打ちしおれて、その城から震えながら出てきました。46 主は生きておられます。わが岩はほむべきかな。わが救の神はあがむべきかな。47 神はわたしにあだを報いさせ、もろもろの民をわたしのもとに従わせ、48 わたしの敵からわたしを救い出されました。まことに、あなたはわたしに逆らって起りたつ者の上にわたしをあげ、不法の人からわたしを救い出されました。49 このゆえに主よ、わたしはもろもろの国民のなかであなたをたたえ、あなたのみ名をほめ歌います。50 主はその王に大いなる勝利を与え、その油そそがれた者に、ダビデとその子孫とに、とこしえにいつくしみを加えられるでしょう。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure,.... None of Adam's posterity are pure by nature; they are all defiled with sin; and though some are pure in their own eyes, they are far from being cleansed from their filthiness; such only are pure who are sanctified by the Spirit of God, have clean hearts created in them, and whose hearts are purified by faith in the blood of Christ; who are justified by Christ's righteousness, and are washed from their sins in his blood; and who, in consequence of such grace, love, pureness of heart, speak a pure language, hold the mystery of faith in a pure conscience, and with a pure conversation, and live soberly, righteously, and godly: and whereas God is a pure and holy Being, his perfections, works, and word, are pure; he shows himself to be so to such persons, by providing for the honour of his purity and holiness in their redemption, sanctification, and salvation; by making all things to be pure to them; by granting them his presence, and blessing them with the vision of himself here and hereafter; see Matthew 5:8; this may likewise be understood of Christ, who, in his human nature, is pure from all sin, both original and actual: he indeed took upon him the sins of his people, and bore them, and made satisfaction for them, and brought in everlasting righteousness; which being done, God has showed himself pure to him, by justifying, acquitting, and discharging him from all such sins; by accepting his righteousness, and imputing it to those for whom he wrought it;

and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward; or "thou wrestlest" b, or wilt contend with them until they are destroyed: the same word is here used which Naphtali has his name from, Genesis 30:8. The froward are such as are of perverse dispositions, and of stubborn and obstinate tempers, and whose ways are crooked and distorted; and such were the people of the Jews in the times of Moses, and of Christ,

Deuteronomy 32:5; and who seem here to be designed; even the Jews in Christ's time, who were just the reverse of the above characters, were cruel and unmerciful, faithless and hypocritical, filthy and pure, disbelieved the Messiah, rejected and crucified him, were contrary to God, and to all men; and therefore God walked contrary to them, as he threatened, Leviticus 26:27; the same as showing himself froward to them; for God is not froward and perverse in himself, nor in his ways, which are all equal, just, and pure: and though there is one and the same word used in our version, yet there are two different words in the Hebrew text; the same word that is used of the froward is not used of God; that which is used of God, as before observed, signifies wrestling, and designs God's contending with the people of the Jews, in a way of wrath and fury, which came upon them to the uttermost, and issued in their entire ruin as a people and nation; the words here had their fulfilment in the destruction of Jerusalem.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

With the pure - Those who are pure in their thoughts, their motives, their conduct.

Thou wilt show thyself pure - They will find that they have to deal with a God who is himself pure; who loves purity, and who will accompany it with appropriate rewards wherever it is found.

And with the froward - The word used here - עקשׁ iqqêsh - means properly perverse; a man of a perverse and wicked mind. It is derived from a verb - עקשׁ âqash - which means, to turn the wrong way, to wrest, to pervert. It would be applicable to a man who perverts or wrests the words of others from their true meaning; who prevaricates or is deceitful in his own conduct; who is not straightforward in his dealings; who takes advantage of circumstances to impose on others, and to promote his own ends; who is sour, harsh, crabbed, unaccommodating, unyielding, unkind. It is rendered perverse in Deuteronomy 32:5; Proverbs 8:8; Proverbs 19:1; Proverbs 28:6; froward here, and in 2 Samuel 22:27; Psalms 101:4; Proverbs 11:20; Proverbs 17:20; Proverbs 22:5; and crooked in Proverbs 2:15. The word does not occur elsewhere in the Old Testament.

Thou wilt show thyself froward - Margin, wrestle. In the corresponding place in 2 Samuel 22:27 it is rendered, “Thou wilt show thyself unsavory;” though the same word is used in the original. In the margin in that place, as here, the word is wrestle. The original word in each place - פתל pâthal - means to twist, to twine, to spin; and then, to be twisted; to be crooked, crafty, deceitful. In the form of the word which occurs here (Hithpael), it means, to show oneself crooked, crafty, perverse. (Gesenius, Lexicon). It cannot mean here that God would assume such a character, or that he would be crooked, crafty, perverse in his dealings with men, for no one can suppose that the psalmist meant to ascribe such a character to God; but the meaning plainly is, that God would deal with the man referred to according to his real character: instead of finding that God would deal with them as if they were pure, and righteous, and merciful, such men would find that he deals with them as they are - as perverse, crooked, wicked.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 18:26. With the froward — עקש ikkesh, the perverse man; he that is crooked in his tempers and ways.

Thou wilt show thyself froward. — תתפתל tithpattal, thou wilt set thyself to twist, twine, and wrestle. If he contend, thou wilt contend with him. Thou wilt follow him through all his windings; thou wilt trace him through all his crooked ways; untwist him in all his cunning wiles; and defeat all his schemes of stubbornness, fraud, overreaching, and deceit.

My old Psalter has, With the wiked thow sal be wike. Here the term wicked is taken in its true original sense, crooked, or perverse. With the wiked, the perverse, thou wilt show thyself wike, i.e., perverse; from [Anglo-Saxon], to draw back, to slide. As he draws back from thee, thou wilt draw back from him. It may, as before intimated, come from [A.S.], to seek for enchantments; leaving God, and going to devils; to act like a witch: but here it must mean as above. The plain import is, "If thou perversely oppose thy Maker, he will oppose thee: no work or project shall prosper that is not begun in his name, and conducted in his fear."
