诗六八27~29　　在那里……有西布伦的首领，有拿弗他利的首领。你的能力是你神所命定的；神啊，求你坚固你为我们所成全的事。因你在耶路撒冷的殿，列王必带贡物献给你。

　　西布伦住在海边（加利利），是停船的海口（创四九13），预表基督作为传福音者的“海口”，为着传扬神福音的输送和扩展。福音得了成就，但需要借着“船”扩展福音。五旬节那天，至少有一百二十艘福音“船”（他们全是加利利人），从这“海口”出发去扩展福音。

　　创世记四十九章二十一节告诉我们，拿弗他利是被释放的母鹿，他出嘉美的言语。……拿弗他利预表基督是在复活中从死里得释放的一位，由“被释放的母鹿”所表征（诗二二标题，歌二8~9），祂出嘉美的言语，为着传扬祂的福音。在复活里，基督来到祂的门徒那里，嘱咐他们使万民作祂的门徒（太二八18~20）。

　　西布伦和拿弗他利的百姓都是加利利人（四12~17，徒一11），基督的福音是从他们得着扩展、传扬并推广。……按预表，西布伦和拿弗他利形成一组，为着扩展并推广基督为着神的救恩所成就之救赎的喜信（诗篇生命读经，四○九至四一○页）。

　　Psa. 68:27-29 ...The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Your God has commanded your strength; strengthen, O God, that which You have done for us. Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring a gift to You.

　　Dwelling at the haven of the sea (Galilee) for a haven of ships (Gen. 49:13), Zebulun typifies Christ as the "haven" of the evangelists for the transportation and spreading in the preaching of God's gospel. The gospel has been accomplished, but there is the need of the spreading of the gospel by means of "ships." On the day of Pentecost, at least one hundred and twenty gospel "ships," all of whom were Galileans, set out to spread the gospel.

　　Genesis 49:21 tells us that Naphtali is a hind let loose and that he gives goodly words.

　　Naphtali typifies Christ as the One who is released from death in resurrection, signified by the "hind let loose" (Psa. 22, title; S.S. 2:8-9), and gives goodly words for the preaching of His gospel (Matt. 28:18-20). In resurrection Christ came to His disciples and charged them to disciple the nations.

　　People of both Zebulun and Naphtali were men of Galilee (Matt. 4:12-17; Acts 1:11), from whom the gospel of Christ has been spread, preached, and propagated....In typology Zebulun and Naphtali form a group for the spreading and the propagating of the glad tidings of Christ's redemption for God's salvation. (Life-study of the Psalms, p. 334)

　　〔诗篇六十八篇二十八节下半至二十九节上半〕指明，神坚固祂为选民所成全的事以后，由于神的殿在耶路撒冷，所以在神殿中对神之享受的影响就遍及耶路撒冷全城。……神的殿表征众地方召会，耶路撒冷城表征国度，就是召会的坚固和保护。……六十八篇结束于为神得着地的话（29下~35）。……对神之享受的影响，是要为神得着全地。……照着二十九节下半，列王必带贡物献给神。……三十一节指明，公侯要从埃及出来朝见神，来到神的城耶路撒冷；古实（今天的衣索匹亚）人要急忙向神举手祷告。

　　〔二十九节下半至三十五节〕所描绘的情景，要完成于要来的复兴时代（太十九28），那时全地的人要来到耶路撒冷敬拜神，并得着训诲和光照（赛二2~3，亚八20~23，十四16）。……在〔诗篇六十八篇〕结束的经文〔35〕里，诗人赞美神并颂赞祂（诗篇生命读经，四一一至四一三页）。

　　我们需要祷告，求神从召会中坚固祂为我们所成全的事。……（28~29）。……神已经将撒但置于死地。我们不需要神重复这项行动，但我们的确需要祂坚固我们。神已经将我们的己、旧人钉在十字架上—神已经成全了这事，祂不需要重作。然而，我们的确需要神在我们里面坚固这种经历。圣经告诉我们，我们已经与基督一同升到天上—神已经成全了这事。今天我们所需要的，就是在我们里面坚固这种经历。这种坚固是在殿中。

　　当我们在地方召会中经历神的坚固，召会就从殿变化为城。殿成了耶路撒冷。殿由城墙围绕、保护并防卫。然后，因着我们这样得胜，这样超越，我们就觉得，地上列王都必带贡物献给主〔启二一24〕。……诗篇六十八篇三十一至三十二节指明全地要如何被主得着，主乃是借着城恢复地（李文集一九六九年第三册，一三五至一三七页）。

　　[Psalm 68:28b-29a] indicates that following God's strengthening of what He has done for His elect, the influence of the enjoyment of God in His house would spread to the entire city of Jerusalem because of the house of God, which was at Jerusalem.

　　The house of God signifies the local church, and the city of Jerusalem signifies the kingdom, the strengthening and the safeguard of the church.

　　Psalm 68 concludes with a word about the gaining of the earth for God (vv. 29b-35)....The influence of the enjoyment of God will gain the whole earth for God....According to verse 29b, kings of the nations will bring a gift to God.

　　Verse 31 indicates that nobles will come out of Egypt to visit Jerusalem, the city of God, and that Cush (today's Ethiopia) will quickly stretch out its hand to God.

　　The scenery portrayed [in verses 29b through 35] will consummate in the coming age of restoration (Matt. 19:28), in which all the earth will come to Jerusalem to worship God and to receive instruction and enlightenment (Isa. 2:2-3; Zech. 14:16-17).

　　In this concluding verse [Psa. 68:35] the psalmist praises God and blesses Him. (Life-study of the Psalms, pp. 335-337)

　　We need to pray that God will strengthen that which He has done for us out of the church...(Psa. 68:28-29)....God has put Satan to death already. We do not need God to repeat this act, but we do need Him to strengthen us. God has put our self, our old man, on the cross already—God has done this, and He need not reenact it. However, we need God to strengthen this experience within us. The Bible tells us that we have ascended with Christ to the heavens—God has done this already. Today what we need is the strengthening of this experience within us. This strengthening is in the temple.

　　When we experience the strengthening of God in the local church, the church is transformed from a house to a city. The temple becomes Jerusalem. The house is surrounded, protected, and safeguarded by the walls of the city. Then, because we are so victorious, so overcoming, so transcendent, we have the sense that all the kings of the earth will bring a gift to the Lord [Rev. 21:24]....Psalm 68:31 and 32...indicate how the whole earth will be gained by the Lord. Through the city the Lord recovers the earth. (CWWL, 1969, vol. 3, "Christ and the Church Revealed and Typified in the Psalms," pp. 100-102)
