span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.71.1" class="versetxt"> 1 主よ、わたしはあなたに寄り頼む。とこしえにわたしをはずかしめないでください。2 あなたの義をもってわたしを助け、わたしを救い出してください。あなたの耳を傾けて、わたしをお救いください。3 わたしのためにのがれの岩となり、わたしを救う堅固な城となってください。あなたはわが岩、わが城だからです。4 わが神よ、悪しき者の手からわたしを救い、不義、残忍な人の支配から、わたしを救い出してください。5 主なる神よ、あなたはわたしの若い時からのわたしの望み、わたしの頼みです。6 わたしは生れるときからあなたに寄り頼みました。あなたはわたしを母の胎から取り出されたかたです。わたしは常にあなたをほめたたえます。7 わたしは多くの人に怪しまれるような者となりました。しかしあなたはわたしの堅固な避け所です。8 わたしの口はひねもす、あなたをたたえるさんびと、頌栄とをもって満たされています。9 わたしが年老いた時、わたしを見離さないでください。わたしが力衰えた時、わたしを見捨てないでください。10 わたしの敵はわたしについて語り、わたしのいのちをうかがう者は共にはかって、11 「神は彼を見捨てた。彼を助ける者がないから彼を追って捕えよ」と言います。12 神よ、わたしに遠ざからないでください。わが神よ、すみやかに来てわたしを助けてください。13 わたしにあだする者を恥じさせ、滅ぼしてください。わたしをそこなわんとする者を、そしりと、はずかしめとをもっておおってください。14 しかしわたしは絶えず望みをいだいて、いよいよあなたをほめたたえるでしょう。15 わたしの口はひねもすあなたの義と、あなたの救とを語るでしょう。わたしはその数を知らないからです。16 わたしは主なる神の大能のみわざを携えゆき、ただあなたの義のみを、ほめたたえるでしょう。17 神よ、あなたはわたしを若い時から教えられました。わたしはなお、あなたのくすしきみわざを宣べ伝えます。18 神よ、わたしが年老いて、しらがとなるとも、あなたの力をきたらんとするすべての代に宣べ伝えるまで、わたしを見捨てないでください。19 神よ、あなたの大能と義とは高い天にまで及ぶ。あなたは大いなる事をなされました。神よ、だれかあなたに等しい者があるでしょうか。20 あなたはわたしを多くの重い悩みにあわされましたが、再びわたしを生かし、地の深い所から引きあげられるでしょう。21 あなたはわたしの誉を増し、再びわたしを慰められるでしょう。22 わが神よ、わたしはまた立琴をもってあなたと、あなたのまこととをほめたたえます。イスラエルの聖者よ、わたしは琴をもってあなたをほめ歌います。23 わたしがあなたにむかってほめ歌うとき、わがくちびるは喜び呼ばわり、あなたがあがなわれたわが魂もまた喜び呼ばわるでしょう。24 わたしの舌もまたひねもすあなたの義を語るでしょう。わたしをそこなわんとした者が恥じあわてたからです。

Bible Verse Review

as a wonder: Kemopaton, "as a prodigy," my low estate: - my slaying the lion and bear, - conquering the Philistine, - escaping the fury of Saul, - being raised to the throne of Israel, - enduring such uncommon trials and afflictions, - and experiencing such wonderful deliverances.

These all mark me out as the subject of "wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong Refuge." Isaiah 8:18, Zechariah 3:6, Luke 2:34, Acts 4:13, 1 Corinthians 4:9, 2 Corinthians 4:8-12, 2 Corinthians 6:8-10

thou art: Psalms 62:7, Psalms 142:4, Psalms 142:5, Jeremiah 16:19

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I am as a wonder unto many,.... To the multitude, to the populace, or "to the great" u and mighty; and indeed to both: which respects not his wonderful preservation from the womb, he had before observed; nor his being in a wonderful manner raised to the throne of Israel; nor the wonderful things and amazing exploits done by him, and victories he obtained; nor the wonderful instances of divine grace and goodness to him; but rather the forlorn and distressed state and condition he was now in, being obliged to quit his palace, and flee from the face of his son, accompanied only with a few of his servants; and so was a shocking sight, a spectacle, as the apostle says of himself, to others, to the world, to angels, and to men, 1 Corinthians 4:9; so the Messiah and his children are said to be set for signs and wonders, Isaiah 8:18; and Joshua and his fellows to be men wondered at, Zechariah 3:8; as the saints are by themselves, that they should partake of such favours; and by the angels, that they should be the objects of electing, redeeming, calling, adopting, justifying, and pardoning grace; and by the world, that they should choose to suffer affliction and reproach for Christ, bear it with so much patience, and be supported, and thrive under it; see 2 Corinthians 6:8;

but thou [art] my strong refuge; or "my refuge of strength" w; his refuge and strength, as in Psalms 46:1; his refuge, to which he betook himself, when refuge failed him, and no man cared for him, and which he found to be a strong one, and in it safety.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am as a wonder unto many - The word here rendered “wonder” - מופת môphêth - means properly a miracle, a prodigy; then things that are suited to excite wonder or admiration; then, a sign, a token. See the notes at Isaiah 8:18. The meaning here is, that the course of things in regard to him - the divine dealings toward him - had been such as to excite attention; to strike the mind as something unusual, and out of the common course, in the same way that miracles do. This might be either from the number and the character of the calamities which had come upon him; or from the narrow escapes which he had had from death; or from the frequency of the divine intervention in his behalf; or from the abundant mercies which had been manifested toward him. The connection makes it probable that he refers to the unusual number of afflictions which had come upon him, and the frequency of the divine interpositions in his behalf when there was no other refuge, and no other hope.

But thou art my strong refuge - See the notes at Psalms 18:2. That is, God had been his Protector, his hiding-place.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 71:7. I am as a wonder unto many — I am כמופת kemopheth, "as a portent," or "type:" I am a typical person; and many of the things that happen to me are to be considered in reference to him of whom I am a type. But he may mean I am a continual prodigy. My low estate, my slaying the lion and the bear, conquering the Philistine, escaping the fury of Saul, and being raised to the throne of Israel, are all so many wonders of thy providence, and effects of thy power and grace.
