【诗96:10】人在列邦中要说：耶和华作王！世界就坚定，不得动摇；他要按公正审判众民。【Psa 96:10】Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.

诗篇96篇是一首呼召万民敬拜神的诗歌。当时，列国都敬拜偶像，全地陷在满足私欲，顺从罪恶中。诗人却宣告，耶和华作王！祂是天地万物的创造主，是历史的主宰，是永远坐在宝座上的王。Psalm 96 is a song calling all peoples to worship God. At that time, the nations worshipped idols, and the whole earth was caught up in satisfying selfish desires and following sin. Yet the psalmist declared, “The Lord reigns!” He is the Creator of heaven, earth, and all things, the Lord of history, and the King who sits on the throne forever.

“世界就坚定，不得动摇”。 神作王，并非世界从此没有灾难和动荡。而是指无论环境和心境如何的跌宕起伏，仍信神掌权，并胜过一切仇敌。“The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.” God’s reign does not mean that the world will no longer face disasters or turmoil. Rather, it means that no matter how much our circumstances or emotions rise and fall, we continue to believe that God is in control and that He triumphs over every enemy.在神旨意中，坚定跟随，不偏左右。真正信靠神作王的人，必是在生活中尊主为大，活出敬畏神、信靠神的生命。信靠祂的必站立不动摇。Within God’s will, we follow Him steadfastly, turning neither to the right nor to the left. Those who truly trust that God reigns will honour the Lord as supreme in their daily lives and live with reverence for and trust in Him. Those who trust in Him will stand firm and not be shaken.

这节经文也提醒我们，耶和华做王，不仅有慈爱，还有公义。“祂要按公正审判众民。” This verse also reminds us that the Lord reigns not only with lovingkindness, but also with righteousness. “He will judge the peoples with equity.”祂察看人的内心，按真理施行审判。我们不单将来接受审判，而是每天站在神审判台前，蒙光照，被你纠正，走在圣洁光中，成为分别为圣的一族。He examines the human heart and judges according to truth. We will not only face judgement in the future; each day, we stand before God’s judgement seat, receive His light, are corrected by You, walk in the light of holiness, and become a people set apart for You.神愿我们因顺服公义圣洁住在祂里面，过着在地如在天，以神为王的生活。God desires us to remain in Him through obedience, righteousness, and holiness, living on earth as it is in heaven, with God as King.

我们要常回到内心求问：此刻谁在我里边做王？我在听命顺服谁？仇敌能够任意往来，欺压践踏，乃是因着我们自己在作王，随便开门。我们不肯心里的房间交给神。We need to return often to our hearts and ask: Who is reigning within me at this moment? Whom am I listening to and obeying? The enemy is able to come and go freely, oppressing and trampling upon us, because we ourselves are reigning and carelessly opening the door. We are unwilling to give the rooms of our hearts to God.因此，当面对世界的混乱、未来的不确定、生活中的挑战时，我们很容易被恐惧、焦虑和受人言影响。但神提醒我们：“耶和华作王！”我们的盼望不是建立在环境的稳定上，而是建立在掌管万有的神身上。Therefore, when we face the world’s disorder, uncertainty about the future, and the challenges of life, we are easily affected by fear, anxiety, and the words of others. But God reminds us, “The Lord reigns!” Our hope is not built on stable circumstances, but on the God who rules over all things.

神啊，因有人高举你，得我们得以认识你。当我们不断以私欲为先，喜好为先，给撒旦开门任其进来偷窃杀害毁坏时，我们要扬起耶和华为王的旌旗。God, because others exalted You, we were able to come to know You. When we continually put our selfish desires and preferences first, opening the door to Satan and allowing him to come in to steal, kill, and destroy, we must raise the banner declaring that the Lord is King.愿你作王，愿你平安，公义，得胜充满我们。也愿我们不止享受恩典，更要在全地为你的救恩作见证。May You reign, and may Your peace, righteousness, and victory fill us. May we not only enjoy Your grace, but also bear witness throughout the earth to Your salvation.
