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

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me,.... That is, as soon as they should hear of Christ, through the preaching of the word, by which faith would come, they should readily and at once receive, embrace, and profess the Gospel, and yield a cheerful submission to the ordinances of it; and which has had its accomplishment among the Gentiles, Acts 28:28;

the strangers shall submit themselves unto me; meaning either the same persons as before; the Gentiles, who were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenant of promise, who should submit to Christ, to his Gospel, to his righteousness, and to the sceptre of his kingdom; though some interpret it of the degenerate Jews, "the sons of the stranger", as the words may be rendered; who, though called the children of God, and the children of the kingdom, yet were, as our Lord says, of their father the devil; and these, some of them, in a flattering and dissembling way, feigned themselves to be the followers and disciples of Christ: and, indeed, it looks as if hypocrites were intended, whether among Jews or Gentiles, or both, since the word here used, and rendered "submit", signifies to "lie"; and so it is in the metaphrase of Apollinarius; or, as in the margin of some Bibles, to "yield a feigned obedience"; see Psalms 66:3. There seems to be an allusion to the conquest of nations, some of the inhabitants of which readily and heartily submit, but others only feignedly, and through fear, and the force of superior power they cannot withstand.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me - Margin, as in Hebrew, At the hearing of the ear. That is, their submission will be prompt and immediate. The fame of my victories will be such as to render resistance hopeless; my fame, as at the head of a mighty empire, will be such as to lead them to desire my friendship and protection.

The strangers - Margin, as in Hebrew, The sons of the stranger. The word refers to foreigners, to those of other nations. His name and deeds would inspire such respect, or create such a dread of his power, that they would be glad to seek his friendship, and would readily submit to his dominion.

Shall submit themselves unto me - Margin, yield feigned obedience. The Hebrew word used here - כחשׁ kâchash - means properly to lie, to speak lies; then, to deceive, or disappoint; then, to feign, to flatter, to play the hypocrite. It is manifestly used in this sense here, as referring to those who, awed by the terror of his name and power, would come and profess subjection to him as a conqueror. Yet the use of the word here implies that he was aware that, in many cases, this would be only a feigned submission, or that the homage would be hypocritical; homage inspired by terror, not by love. Undoubtedly, much of the professed subjection of conquered nations is of this kind, and it would be well if all conquerors understood this as David did. He accepted, indeed, the acquiescence and the submission, but he understood the cause; and this knowledge would only tend to make his throne more secure, as it would save him from putting confidence or trust where there was no certainty that it would be well placed.

Toward David as a sovereign there was much real loyalty, but there was also much professed allegiance that was false and hollow; allegiance which would endure only while his power lasted, and which would only wait for an opportunity to throw off the yoke. In respect to God, also, there are not a few who “feignedly submit” to him, or who yield feigned obedience. They, too, are awed by his power. They know that he is able to destroy. They see the tokens of his greatness and majesty, and they come and profess submission to him - a submission founded on terror, not on love; a submission which would cease at once could they be assured of safety if they should renounce their allegiance to him. And as David was not ignorant of the fact that not a little of the professed submission to him was false and feigned - so, in a much higher sense - in a much more accurate manner - God is aware of the fact that many who profess to be subject to him are subject in profession only; that if they could do it with safety, they would throw off the very appearance of loyalty, and carry out in reality what exists in their hearts. It must have been sad for David to reflect how greatly the number of his professed subjects might have been diminished, if none had been retained but those who truly loved his reign, and respected him as a sovereign; it is sad to reflect how greatly the number of the professed friends of God would be diminished, if all those should withdraw who have yielded only reigned obedience to him! Yet the Church would be the better and the stronger for it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 18:44. As soon as they hear of me — His victories were so rapid and splendid over powerful enemies, that they struck a general terror among the people, and several submitted without a contest.

Strangers shall submit themselves unto me. — Some translate this: "The children of the foreign woman have lied unto me." This has been understood two ways: My own people, who have sworn fealty to me, have broken their obligation, and followed my rebellious son. Or, The heathens, who have been brought under my yoke, have promised the most cordial obedience, and flattered me with their tongues, while their hearts felt enmity against me and my government. Nevertheless, even in this unwilling subjection I was secure, my police being so efficient, and my kingdom so strong.
