詩編 34:7

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.34.1" class="versetxt"> 1 わたしは常に主をほめまつる。そのさんびはわたしの口に絶えない。2 わが魂は主によって誇る。苦しむ者はこれを聞いて喜ぶであろう。3 わたしと共に主をあがめよ、われらは共にみ名をほめたたえよう。4 わたしが主に求めたとき、主はわたしに答え、すべての恐れからわたしを助け出された。5 主を仰ぎ見て、光を得よ、そうすれば、あなたがたは、恥じて顔を赤くすることはない。6 この苦しむ者が呼ばわったとき、主は聞いて、すべての悩みから救い出された。7 主の使は主を恐れる者のまわりに陣をしいて彼らを助けられる。8 主の恵みふかきことを味わい知れ、主に寄り頼む人はさいわいである。9 主の聖徒よ、主を恐れよ、主を恐れる者には乏しいことがないからである。10 若きししは乏しくなって飢えることがある。しかし主を求める者は良き物に欠けることはない。11 子らよ、来てわたしに聞け、わたしは主を恐るべきことをあなたがたに教えよう。12 さいわいを見ようとして、いのちを慕い、ながらえることを好む人はだれか。13 あなたの舌をおさえて悪を言わせず、あなたのくちびるをおさえて偽りを言わすな。14 悪を離れて善をおこない、やわらぎを求めて、これを努めよ。15 主の目は正しい人をかえりみ、その耳は彼らの叫びに傾く。16 主のみ顔は悪を行う者にむかい、その記憶を地から断ち滅ぼされる。17 正しい者が助けを叫び求めるとき、主は聞いて、彼らをそのすべての悩みから助け出される。18 主は心の砕けた者に近く、たましいの悔いくずおれた者を救われる。19 正しい者には災が多い。しかし、主はすべてその中から彼を助け出される。20 主は彼の骨をことごとく守られる。その一つだに折られることはない。21 悪は悪しき者を殺す。正しい者を憎む者は罪に定められる。22 主はそのしもべらの命をあがなわれる。主に寄り頼む者はひとりだに罪に定められることはない。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him,.... By whom may be meant, either the uncreated Angel, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of God's presence, and of the covenant, the Captain of salvation, the Leader and Commander of the people; and whose salvation is as walls and bulwarks about them; or as an army surrounding them: or a created angel may be intended, even a single one, which is sufficient to guard a multitude of saints, since one could destroy at once such a vast number of enemies, as in 2 Kings 19:35; or one may be put for more, since they are an innumerable company that are on the side of the Lord's people, and to whom they are joined; and these may be said to encamp about them, because they are an host or army; see Genesis 32:1; and are the guardians of the saints, that stand up for them and protect them, as well as minister to them;

and delivereth them; out of the hands of all their enemies. David had a guard, an army of these about him, in the court of Achish, who preserved him from being seized, and receiving any harm there; and who brought him from thence in safety: there is no doubt but he here speaks his own experience.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The angel of the Lord - The angel whom the Lord sends, or who comes, at his command, for the purpose of protecting the people of God. This does not refer to any particular angel as one who was specifically called “the angel of the Lord,” but it, may refer to any one of the angels whom the Lord may commission for this purpose; and the phrase is equivalent to saying that “angels” encompass and protect the friends of God. The word “angel” properly means a “messenger,” and then is applied to those holy beings around the throne of God who are sent forth as his “messengers” to mankind; who are appointed to communicate his will, to execute his commands; or to protect his people. Compare Matthew 24:31, note; Job 4:18, note; Hebrews 1:6, note; John 5:4, note. Since the word has a general signification, and would denote in itself merely a messenger, the qualification is added here that it is an “angel of the Lord” that is referred to, and that becomes a protector of the people of God.

Encampeth - literally, “pitches his tent.” Genesis 26:17; Exodus 13:20; Exodus 17:1. Then the word comes to mean “to defend;” to “protect:” Zechariah 9:8. The idea here is, that the angel of the Lord protects the people of God as an army defends a country, or as such an army would be a protection. He “pitches his tent” near the people of God, and is there to guard them from danger.

About them that fear him - His true friends, friendship for God being often denoted by the word fear or reverence. See the notes at Job 1:1.

And delivereth them - Rescues them from danger. The psalmist evidently has his own case in view, and the general remark here is founded on his own experience. He attributes his safety from danger at the time to which he is referring, not to his own art or skill; not to the valor of his own arm, or to the prowess of his followers, but, to the goodness of God in sending an angel, or a company of angels, to rescue him; and hence, he infers that what was true of himself would be true of others, and that the general statement might be made which is presented in this verse. The doctrine is one that is frequently affirmed in the Scriptures. Nothing is more clearly or constantly asserted than that the angels are employed in defending the people of God; in leading and guiding them; in comforting them under trial, and sustaining them in death; as it is also affirmed, on the other hand, that wicked angels are constantly employed in leading men to ruin. Compare Daniel 6:22, note; Hebrews 1:14, note. See also Genesis 32:1-2; 2 Kings 6:17; Psalms 91:11; Luke 16:22; Luke 22:43; John 20:12. It may be added that no one can prove that what is here stated by the psalmist may not be literally true at the present time; and to believe that we are under the protection of angels may be as philosophical as it is pious. The most lonely, the most humble, the most obscure, and the poorest child of God, may have near him and around him a retinue and a defense which kings never have when their armies pitch their tents around their palaces, and when a thousand swords would at once be drawn to defend them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 34:7. The angel of the Lord encampeth round — I should rather consider this angel in the light of a watchman going round his circuit, and having for the objects of his especial care such as fear the Lord.
