第四章
2到那日，耶和華發生的苗必華美尊榮，地的出產必為以色列逃脫
的人顯為榮華茂盛。3-4主以公義的靈和焚燒的靈，將錫安女子的
污穢洗去，又將耶路撒冷中殺人的血除淨。那時，剩在錫安、留在
耶路撒冷的，就是一切住耶路撒冷、在生命冊上記名的，必稱為
聖。5耶和華也必在錫安全山，並各會眾以上，使白日有煙雲，黑
夜有火燄的光，因為在全榮耀之上必有遮蔽。6必有亭子，白日可
以得蔭避暑，也可以作為藏身之處，躲避狂風暴雨。

默想：
1.本章的信息為耶路撒冷劫後餘生者帶來盼望；因為當神對猶
大、耶路撒冷的懲罰過後，罪人被剪除，餘生者得到潔淨；耶
路撒冷將成為聖潔，可以作為遮蔭、避難的藏身之處。

2.但是這事必須透過一個稱為“耶和華發生的苗”來完成，這就
是彌賽亞，他來自大衛家族，並要完成神拯救猶太人與全人類
的終極拯救計劃。

3.神的旨意計劃是一定會成就的，且是超過我們能力所及。因此
神親自藉著耶穌基督，使得我們有可能行走在神的光中，我們
成為神新造的人。因此我們所能作的，就是無論現實的世界是
多麼的黑暗，我們都要以正直的生活來榮耀神。

Chapter 4
2 In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and
the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3
Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy,
all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem.4 The Lord will wash
away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from
Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. 5 Then the LORD
will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a
cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything
the glory will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the
heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

Meditation
1.This chapter issues the hope for those survive God’s punishment
upon Judah and Jerusalem. For after God’s judgment has removed
sinners and purified survivors, a cleansed and holy Jerusalem will
serve as a shelter and shade for people.

2.But this will only be accomplished by a person called “the Branch
of the Lord’. This is referred to Messiah who is to come from
David’s family line and to accomplish the ultimate deliverance of
the Jews and all humankind.

3.Therefore, God’s ideal surely will be achieved but it is more than
we can accomplish in our own strength. God Himself has acted
in Christ to make it possible for you and me to walk in the light of
the Lord. We are His new creation. All we can do is to honour the
Lord by living righteous lives, however dark the ways of this present
world.

第三章
16 耶和華又說：“因為錫安的女子狂傲，行走挺項，賣弄眼目，
俏步徐行，腳下玎璫。17所以主必使錫安的女子頭長禿瘡；耶和華
又使她們赤露下體。”18到那日，主必除掉她們華美的腳釧、髮
網、月牙圈、19耳環、手鐲、蒙臉的帕子、20華冠、足鏈、華帶、
香盒、符囊、21戒指、鼻環、22吉服、外套、雲肩、荷包、23手
鏡、細麻衣、裹頭巾、蒙身的帕子。24必有臭爛代替馨香，繩子
代替腰帶，光禿代替美髮，麻衣繫腰代替華服，烙傷代替美容。
25你的男丁必倒在刀下；你的勇士必死在陣上。26錫安（註：原文
作“她”）的城門必悲傷、哀號；她必荒涼坐在地上。

默想：
1.這段經文很生動地描述，當我們的生命與全能神的旨意不協調
時，將會帶來的悲慘與哀傷。這就提醒我們，當人拒絕走在神
的光中，至終他們是無法蒙福，無法興旺的。

2.在你周圍的男男女女當中，你是否也能夠看到狂傲與自我中心
的態度？他們對美麗的看法，與彼前3：3-4有沒有差別？你認
為彼得所說的內在美，是否也可以適用在男人身上？

3.你怎樣在自己身上培養這樣的內在美？神有沒有對你有一些管
教，為要引導你成長，成為純淨、無瑕疵？

Chapter 3
16 The LORD says, “The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with
outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying
hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.17 Therefore the Lord will
bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;the LORD will make their
scalps bald. ”18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles
and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19 the earrings and bracelets
and veils, 20 the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles
and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings, 22 the fine robes and the
capes and cloaks, the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments and
tiaras and shawls.24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of
a sash, a rope;instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing,
sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. 25 Your men will fall by the
sword, your warriors in battle.26 The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;
destitute, she will sit on the ground.

Meditation
1.This passage describes vividly the dismay and demise that come
when life is out of sync with the will of the sovereign God. It
reminds us that people who refuse to walk in the light of the Lord
will not prosper.

2.How do you see the haughty, self-centered attitudes reflected in men
and women around you? How does their idea of beauty compare
with that of 1 Peter 3:3-4? Do you think such inner beauty applies
to men, as well?

3.How have you tried to develop this inner beauty on your own? How
has God’s discipline of you led to growth and purity?

第二章
10你當進入巖穴，藏在土中，躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
11到那日，眼目高傲的必降為卑，性情狂傲的都必屈膝，惟獨耶和
華被尊崇。12 必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子，要臨到驕傲狂妄
的，一切自高的都必降為卑；13 又臨到黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊
的橡樹；14 又臨到一切高山的峻嶺；15 又臨到高台和堅固城牆；
16 又臨到他施的船隻並一切可愛的美物。17 驕傲的必屈膝，狂妄
的必降卑；在那日，惟獨耶和華被尊崇。18 偶像必全然廢棄。
19 耶和華興起使地大震動的時候，人就進入石洞，進入土穴，躲避
耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。20到那日，人必將為拜而造的金偶
像、銀偶像拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。21到耶和華興起使地大震動的時候，
人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裡，躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮
光。22 你們休要倚靠世人，他鼻孔裡不過有氣息，他在一切事上可
算甚麼呢？

默想：
1.這段經文提到很多偉大的自然現象或人為成就，是以色列人
引以為傲，可以歸依的。但是以賽亞警告他的同胞，到“那
日”當耶和華神被尊崇、興起時，神要審判狂傲的人，這些偉
大的現象與成就，都要一一被打倒、降卑，他們還能以什麼為
傲、以什麼為歸依？

2.以賽亞預言將來在主的日子，人將不再狂傲。 傲慢不是我們
想有的品格，但是很多人都經常會落在自大自傲的當中。
3.祈求神教導你，如何看清自己的自大自傲，並如何才能不依靠
世人（22節），而單單仰賴神？

Chapter2
10 Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the
LORD and the splendor of his majesty!11 The eyes of the arrogant will be
humbled and human pride brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted
in that day.12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and
lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled), 13 for all the cedars
of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan, 14 for all the towering
mountains and all the high hills, 15 for every lofty tower and every
fortified wall, 16 for every trading ship and every stately vessel.
17 The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled;
the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, 18 and the idols will totally disappear.
19 People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground
from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.20 In that day people will throw away to
the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made
to worship.21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging
crags from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his
majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.22 Stop trusting in mere humans,
who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?

Meditation
1.This passage mentions a number of great things (natural or humanmade)
which the Israelites must have been boastful of. Yet, Isaiah
warned his fellow countrymen that God would act to judge the arrogant
people by bringing low these great things among them in the
day when the splendor of God’s majesty is revealed.

2.Isaiah prophesied that on the Day of the Lord, the pride of men will
be no more. We know that arrogance is not a desirable trait, yet
many of us fall victim to our own arrogance.

3.Ask God to teach you what it means to stop trusting in humanity
(v22) and to only rely on God.

第一章
10你們這所多瑪的官長啊，要聽耶和華的話！你們這蛾摩拉的百姓
啊，要側耳聽我們神的訓誨！11耶和華說：“你們所獻的許多祭物
與我何益呢？公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油，我已經夠了；公牛的
血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。12你們來朝見我，誰向
你們討這些，使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？13你們不要再獻虛浮的供
物！香品是我所憎惡的；月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會，也是我所
憎惡的；作罪孽又守嚴肅會，我也不能容忍。14你們的月朔和節
期，我心裡恨惡，我都以為麻煩；我擔當，便不耐煩。15你們舉手
禱告，我必遮眼不看；就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。你們的手
都滿了殺人的血。”16 你們要洗濯、自潔，從我眼前除掉你們的惡
行；要止住作惡，17學習行善，尋求公平，解救受欺壓的，給孤兒
伸冤，為寡婦辨屈。”

默想：
1.以賽亞在這裡記載神的子民——以色列人，他們忠實地依循規
例執行禮儀，按時在指定的節期前往聖殿，以正確無誤的方式
供獻祭物，並作冗長並令人動容的禱告。神卻看這一切為“虛
浮”（無意義的）。以色列人似乎認為，只要遵守這些儀式條
例，就能保證神的祝福；但是神卻全然的否定他們的想法。

2.神注重的是召喚百姓來順從祂的旨意，尤其要為受欺壓的，孤
兒，寡婦，就是要為那些無助的人伸張正義。

3.真正活潑的信仰，並非僅僅是外表的虔誠，而是由我們與神的
關係中，產生出的公義、正直。

4.反省一下，你在教會所參與的活動，或是向神的禱告，是否已
經成為空洞的儀式？或是你是從愛神與對神的委身，而來事奉
神的？

Chapter 1
10Hear the word of the LORD, rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of
our God, you people of Gomorrah!11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the LORD. “I have more than enough of burnt
offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the
blood of bulls and lambs and goats.12When you come to appear before
me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts?13 Stop bringing
meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons,
Sabbaths and convocations —I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festival I hate with all my
being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full
of blood!16 Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out
of my sight; stop doing wrong.17 Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend
the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the
widow.

Meditation:
1.Isaiah described a religious people whose ritual seems to be according
to the law. These people went up to the temple dutifully for the
required festivals; they offered sacrifices correctly, made long and
impressive prayers. But God called all these meaningless. They
seem to believe that following rituals will guarantee God’s blessings.
But God totally rejected it.

2.The people were, instead, summoned to obedience, focusing particularly
on justice toward the oppressed, widows, and orphans,
people who are vulnerable and without social protection.

3.The point is that a real and vital faith is not that we appear and do
right, but that our relationship with God has produced righteousness.

4.Is your involvement in church activities, or prayer has become
empty ritual, or do you serve the Lord from a heart of love and
devotion?

第四十一章
1 眷顧貧窮的有福了！他遭難的日子，耶和華必搭救他！
2 耶和華必保全他，使他存活；他必在地上享福。求你不要把他交
給仇敵，遂其所願。
3 他病重在榻，耶和華必扶持他；他在病中，你必給他鋪床。
4 我曾說：“耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，醫治我，因為我得罪了你。”
5 我的仇敵用惡言議論我說：“他幾時死，他的名才滅亡呢？”
6 他來看我，就說假話，心存奸惡，走到外邊才說出來。
7 一切恨我的，都交頭接耳地議論我；他們設計要害我。
8 他們說：“有怪病貼在他身上；他已躺臥，必不能再起來。”
9 連我知己的朋友，我所倚靠吃過我飯的，也用腳踢我。
10 耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，使我起來，好報復他們。
11 因我的仇敵不得向我誇勝，我從此便知道你喜愛我。
12 你因我純正就扶持我，使我永遠站在你的面前。
13 耶和華以色列的神是應當稱頌的，從亙古直到永遠。阿們！阿們！

默想：
1.本詩是大衛在病重時向神呼求的禱告。他深信那些眷顧窮苦軟
弱的人的，在他們軟弱有需要時，必會得到眷顧。

2.從他自己的經歷中，大衛深信，就算所有人，包括他的親密朋
友，都眾叛親離時，神絕對不會拋棄我們的。

3.讚美神的愛與憐憫，他永遠不撇下你，也不離棄你。

Chapter 41
1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers
them in times of trouble.
2 The LORD protects and preserves them— they are counted among the
blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their
bed of illness.
4 I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish? ”
6 When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart
gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.
7 All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst
for me, saying, 8 “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up
from the place where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread,
has turned against me.
10 But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
13 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

Meditation
1. This song is David’s prayer for mercy when he was seriously ill.
He expresses his confidence that those who care for the weak will
be cared for in their own weakness.

2. From his past experiences, David concluded that even though everyone
else, including our close friends, may abandon us when we
most need their support, God will never give up on us.

3. Praise God for his love and mercy that never gives up on you.

第四十章
1 我曾耐性等候耶和華，他垂聽我的呼求。
2 他從禍坑裡、從淤泥中把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我
腳步穩當。
3 他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕，
並要倚靠耶和華。
4 那倚靠耶和華，不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的，這人便為有福！
5 耶和華我的神啊，你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念甚多，
不能向你陳明；若要陳明，其事不可勝數。
6 祭物和禮物，你不喜悅，你已經開通我的耳朵；燔祭和贖罪祭非
你所要。
7 那時我說：“看哪，我來了！我的事在經卷上已經記載了。
8 我的神啊，我樂意照你的旨意行；你的律法在我心裡。”
9 我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音，我必不止住我的嘴唇。耶和華啊，
這是你所知道的。
10 我未曾把你的公義藏在心裡，我已陳明你的信實和你的救恩。
我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。

默想：
1.這篇詩是當困難重重時向神呼求的禱告，也是慶祝神在需要時
的憐憫。首先述說神過去的恩典（1-5節），然後見證王對神
的忠實（6-10節），最後就是祈求神的幫助。

2.在你有急切需要時，若是神好像拖了很久還不施拯救，這時你
會去尋求什麼其他方法——“假神”來解決你的問題？當你靠
這個“假神”之後，有什麼結果？

3.你生命中有什麼像是在“禍坑，泥濘坑”（2節）中？這篇詩
篇怎樣幫助你要怎樣可以脫離這個禍坑？

Chapter 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my
feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many
will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.
4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the
proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you
planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and
tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have
opened— burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.
8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
9 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips,
LORD, as you know.
10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness
and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
from the great assembly.

Meditation
1. This song is a prayer for help when troubles abound. It is also a celebration
of God’s mercy in times of need. It begins with praise of
God for his past mercies (vv1-5) and a testimony to the kings’ own
faithfulness to the Lord (vv6-10). The rest of the song is a prayer
for help.

2. In your own times of need, when God seems to take too long to
help you, what “false gods” (v4) offer tempting alternative solutions
to you? What happened the last time you relied on one of
those “gods”?

3. What in your life feels like a “slimy pit”? (v2) Which helps you
most with present troubles: remembering God’s actions in the past?
Or claiming God’s promises for the future? Why?

第三十九章
1 我曾說：“我要謹慎我的言行，免得我舌頭犯罪。惡人在我面前
的時候，我要用嚼環勒住我的口。”
2 我默然無聲，連好話也不出口，我的愁苦就發動了。
3 我的心在我裡面發熱。我默想的時候，火就燒起，我便用舌頭說話：
4 耶和華啊，求你叫我曉得我身之終，我的壽數幾何，叫我知道我
的生命不長。
5 你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各
人最穩妥的時候，真是全然虛幻。
6 世人行動實係幻影：他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來
有誰收取。
7 主啊，如今我等甚麼呢？我的指望在乎你！
8 求你救我脫離一切的過犯，不要使我受愚頑人的羞辱。
9 因我所遭遇的是出於你，我就默然不語。
10求你把你的責罰從我身上免去，因你手的責打，我便消滅。
11你因人的罪惡懲罰他的時候，叫他的笑容消滅（註：“的笑
容”或作“所喜愛的”），如衣被蟲所咬。世人真是虛幻！
12 耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告，留心聽我的呼求！我流淚，求你不要
靜默無聲，因為我在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，像我列祖一般。
13 求你寬容我，使我在去而不返之先可以力量復原。”

默想：
1.詩人在為一些問題在掙扎：生命如此脆弱，如此短暫，就像一
片過眼煙雲。我究竟還有多久的生命？究竟活著有什麼意義（
6節）？你就不能饒了我（10，13節）？但是，詩人卻仍然對
神有希望（7節），並繼續求神拯救他脫離罪惡（8節）。

2.“我就默然不語“（9節）這節經文邀請我們在神的面前“安
靜”，“讓我們的靈與任何響聲隔離，無論是噪音，音樂，還
是人的言語，好讓噪雜的內心可以安靜下來，使我們越發專注
於神”。

3.今天或是本週內，安排一段與神安靜的時間，默想這段經文，
尤其是9節。將你的經歷與感受，與小組弟兄姐妹分享。

Chapter 39
1 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a
muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.”
2 So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my
anguish increased;
3 my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then
I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me
know how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is
as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.
6 “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush
about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
8 Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.
9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has
done this.
10 Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11 When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume
their wealth like a moth — surely everyone is but a breath.
12 “Hear my prayer, LORD, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to
my weeping. I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my
ancestors were.
13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and
am no more.”

Meditation
1. The psalmist was wrestling with a lot of anguished questions: life is
so fragile, so short, like a puff of air, a passing shadow. How long
do I have? What does it mean anyway? (v6) Can’t you back off a
bit, God? (vv10, 13). But then the singer also has hope in God (v7)
and continues to seek deliverance from sin (v8).

2. “I am silent; I do not open my mouth…”(v9) ushers an invitation
for us to be SILENT before God to close “off our souls from
‘sounds’, whether noise, music, or words, so that we may better still
the inner chatter and clatter of our noisy hearts and be increasingly
attentive to God”.

3. Plan to have a Silent Date with God today or this week. Share your
experience with your group.

第三十八章
15 耶和華啊，我仰望你！主我的神啊，你必應允我！
16 我曾說：“恐怕他們向我誇耀。我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。”
17 我幾乎跌倒，我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 我要承認我的罪孽，我要因我的罪憂愁。
19 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，無理恨我的增多了。
20 以惡報善的與我作對，因我是追求良善。
21 耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的神啊，求你不要遠離我！
22 拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！

默想：
1.新舊約聖經都告訴我們，神要管教他所愛的。大衛知道他被神
管教，心中覺得受傷、軟弱、被壓、充滿苦痛。大衛並沒有躲
藏、或找尋藉口，或怪罪他人，大衛帶著他的創傷來到神面
前。就像一個小孩子在被媽媽管教之後，跑來與媽媽擁抱，我
們也是這樣向神伸出雙手。當我這樣作時，神就會將我們擁入
懷中、安慰我們。

2.大衛雖然知道他的遭遇是神對他的管教，他仍然現象神會聽他
的呼求。他怎能這樣肯定？他說“我要承認我的罪孽，我要因
我的罪憂愁”（18節）。

3.所以，大衛明白約翰一書1:9 所說的“我們若認自己的罪，神
是信實的，是公義的，必要赦免我們的罪……“

4.你十分曾經歷過一些痛苦，其原因是你自己至少要負一部分的
責任？你當時如何處理的？你可以從大衛學到什麼功課？

Chapter 38
15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when
my feet slip.”
17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies without cause; those who hate me
without reason are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.
21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.

Meditation
1. Both Old and New testaments tell us that the Lord disciplines those
he loves. David, knowing that he was being disciplined by God,
felt wounded, weak, crushed, filled with searing pain. Rather than
trying to hide, or find excuses, or blames, David came to God with
his pain! Like a little child who turns to mommy for a hug after
being spanked, we are to turn to God with arms held out. When we
do, God , like any loving parent, will takes us up in his arms and
comforts us.

2. Despite the fact that David realized he was being disciplined for
sin, he was confident that God would answer his plea. How could
he be so sure? He said, “I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my
sin” (v18).

3. David understood what 1 John 1:9 conveys to us as a promise: “If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us.”

4. When have you experienced pain that was at least partly your fault?
How did you handle it? What can you learn from David’s example?

第三十七章
1 不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要向那行不義的生出嫉妒。
2 因為他們如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。
3 你當倚靠耶和華而行善，住在地上，以他的信實為糧；
4 又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。
5 當將你的事交託耶和華，並倚靠他，他就必成全。
6 他要使你的公義如光發出，使你的公平明如正午。
7 你當默然倚靠耶和華，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通達的和那惡
謀成就的心懷不平。
8 當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒；不要心懷不平，以致作惡。
9 因為作惡的必被剪除，惟有等候耶和華的必承受地土。
10 還有片時，惡人要歸於無有。你就是細察他的住處，也要歸於無有。
11 但謙卑人必承受地土，以豐盛的平安為樂。

默想：
1.我們常常會以為“多行善事必會昌盛，漠視上帝終必敗壞”。
但是事實往往並非如此，以致我們懷疑，為何好事總是發生在
壞人身上。詩人說，不要擔心，神遲早會審判、刑罰的。

2.在遇到惡人發達時，我們不應焦慮，而要信靠神，甚至“要以
耶和華為樂”，因他會保護並供應“你心裡所求的”。

3.你心中暗地裡是否對某一位作惡又暫享福樂的人，有心懷不平
的感受？這表示你對神有怎樣的看法？你人生的聚焦點是在今
生世上的成功，還是將財寶儲存在天上？和神對話，告訴神你
心中的感受。然後聆聽神如何對你回應。

Chapter 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who
do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon
die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasq ture.
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your
vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when
people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret —it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the
LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for
them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

Meditation
1. We often think: “Do good and prosper, ignore God and fail”. But
this often doesn’t work, and we wonder why good things happen to
bad people. The psalmist says not to worry about it. God will take
care of them soon enough.

2. Instead of fretting, we should trust, even “delight” in God who will
protect and provide generously for those who do.

3. How do you secretly want to see happen to those who do evil and
enjoy momentary success? How would their success and your
reaction to it make you feel about God, about yourself and those
people? Are you focused on success here in this world, or on storing
up treasures in heaven?

4. Talk with God and tell him your emotions right now. Then listen to
God’s response.

第三十六章
1 惡人的罪過在他心裡說：“我眼中不怕神！”
2 他自誇自媚，以為他的罪孽終不顯露，不被恨惡。
3 他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐，他與智慧善行已經斷絕。
4 他在床上圖謀罪孽，定意行不善的道，不憎惡惡事。
5 耶和華啊，你的慈愛上及諸天；你的信實達到穹蒼。
6 你的公義好像高山，你的判斷如同深淵。耶和華啊，人民、
牲畜，你都救護。
7 神啊，你的慈愛何其寶貴！世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。
8 他們必因你殿裡的肥甘得以飽足；你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。
9 因為在你那裡有生命的源頭，在你的光中，我們必得見光。
10 願你常施慈愛給認識你的人，常以公義待心裡正直的人。
11 不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我；不容兇惡人的手趕逐我。
12 在那裡，作孽的人已經仆倒。他們被推倒，不能再起來。

默想：
1.在詩篇裡面，義人是指那些仍然會犯罪，但是一般來說，是願
意追求討神喜悅的人。而惡人是指那些雖然可能會做好事，但
一般來說，卻拒絕神的道路的人。大衛完全相信作惡的將會被
神“推倒”（12節）。

2.大衛確信惡人必會失敗，這是因為他對神的認識而有的信念。
他確知神會審判惡人，並不斷向他所認識的人（10節）施慈
愛。

3.你最近是否有嚐過神“殿裡的肥甘”（大宴席，恩典）？神如
何使你心靈得到更新，使你重新有活躍起來？

Chapter 36
1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of
the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate
their sin.
3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act
wisely or do good.
4 Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful
course and do not reject what is wrong.
5 Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the
skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the
great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the
shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from
your river of delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the
upright in heart.
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the
wicked drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!

Meditation
1. In the Psalms, the “righteous” seem to be those who may do evil but
are generally seeking to please God. The “wicked” are those who,
despite good they may do, are generally rejecting God’s ways.

2. David was completely convinced that evildoers will be “thrown
down” by the Lord (v12).

3. David’s conviction that the wicked must fail rested squarely on his
understanding of who God is. He is assured that God will judge the
wicked and continue to display love toward those who know him.

4. What have you tasted of God’s “feast” recently? How has he refreshed
or enlivened you?

第三十五章
1 耶和華啊，與我相爭的，求你與他們相爭；與我相戰的，求你與
他們相戰。
2 拿著大小的盾牌，起來幫助我！
3 抽出槍來，擋住那追趕我的。求你對我的靈魂說：“我是拯救你的。”
4 願那尋索我命的，蒙羞受辱；願那謀害我的，退後羞愧。
5 願他們像風前的糠，有耶和華的使者趕逐他們。
6 願他們的道路又暗又滑，有耶和華的使者追趕他們。
7 因他們無故地為我暗設網羅，無故地挖坑，要害我的性命。
8 願災禍忽然臨到他身上；願他暗設的網纏住自己；願他落在其中
遭災禍！
9 我的心必靠耶和華快樂，靠他的救恩高興。
10 我的骨頭都要說：“耶和華啊，誰能像你，救護困苦人脫離那
比他強壯的，救護困苦窮乏人脫離那搶奪他的？”

默想：
1.當詩人覺得受到傷害時，他的憤怒就如江河湧流而成；他根本
不會理會到“我不應當說這些話的”。一個成熟的基督徒，並
不表示他的情緒會是很平穩，沒有高低的，而是以敬虔的凡事
來深層地感受。

2.當別人不公平的對待你的時候，你會如何反應？在怎樣的情況
下，你會希望主來為你爭鬥、打抱不平？

3.我們對那些傷害我們的人，不一定能夠很恩慈的對待，但是我
們可以選擇不以感受來相待，而是以順從基督來對待那些人。
目前，你對什麼人有憎恨憤怒的感受？

4.為這個人向神禱告，求神祝福這位傷害你的人。

Chapter 35
1 Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those
who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I
am your salvation. ”
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those
who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD
driving them away; 6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel
of the LORD pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a
pit for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle
them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, LORD? You rescue
the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those
who rob them.”

Meditation
1. When the psalmist feels hurt, the anger pours forth in an eloquent
torrent. There is no sense of “I’m not supposed to feel this way.”
Christian maturity is not about reducing the highs and lows of emotions
to a level plane, but of feeling deeply in a godly way.

2. How do you respond when people treat you unfairly? In what situation
do you wish the Lord would fight for you?

3. We may not feel gracious toward those who hurt us, but we choose
to act that way, not from feelings but from obedience to Jesus Christ.
Who do you feel hostility and anger toward?

4. Ask God to bless those who have hurt you.

第三十四章
8 你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善；投靠他的人有福了！
9 耶和華的聖民哪，你們當敬畏他，因敬畏他的一無所缺。
10 少壯獅子還缺食忍餓；但尋求耶和華的，甚麼好處都不缺。
11 眾弟子啊，你們當來聽我的話！我要將敬畏耶和華的道教訓你們。
12 有何人喜好存活，愛慕長壽，得享美福，
13 就要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話。
14 要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。
15 耶和華的眼目看顧義人；他的耳朵聽他們的呼求。
16 耶和華向行惡的人變臉，要從世上除滅他們的名號。
17 義人呼求，耶和華聽見了，便救他們脫離一切患難。
18 耶和華靠近傷心的人，拯救靈性痛悔的人。
19 義人多有苦難，但耶和華救他脫離這一切，
20 又保全他一身的骨頭，連一根也不折斷。

默想：
1.我們很難承認有些事是懂的，有些問題是無法克服的；而當我
們不再拼命想辦法靠自己來解決時，就可以接受神所要賜給我
們的幫助。

2.“嚐嚐……，便知道”，詩人邀請我們一起去經歷神對我們的
美善恩典。讓我們一起委身來作正確的事， 有時候我們可能
還是會做一些很愚蠢的事，但是若我們決心討神的喜悅，我們
就相信神必會拯救我們，脫離任何的難關。

3.求神增加你“嚐嚐……，便知道”的能力，明白神是與你同
在，並且他是美善的。

Chapter 34
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes
refuge in him.
9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD
lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive
to heir cry; 16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them
from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are
crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers
him from them all; 20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will
be broken.

Meditation
1. It assaults our pride to acknowledge that there are things we don’t
know or problems we can’t overcome. But when we stop trying to
do it ourselves, we are in a position to receive the help God sends.

2. “Taste and see”, the psalmist invites us to experience God’s goodness
for ourselves. Let us commit ourselves to doing what is right.
We may act foolishly at times, but if we are dedicated to pleasing
God, we can trust the Lord to deliver us.

3. Ask God to increase your ability to “taste and see” that he is with
you and that he is good.

第三十三章
12 以耶和華為神的，那國是有福的！他所揀選為自己產業的，
那民是有福的！
13 耶和華從天上觀看，他看見一切的世人；
14 從他的居所往外察看地上一切的居民，
15 他是那造成他們眾人心的，留意他們一切作為的。
16 君王不能因兵多得勝；勇士不能因力大得救。
17 靠馬得救是枉然的；馬也不能因力大救人。
18 耶和華的眼目看顧敬畏他的人和仰望他慈愛的人，
19 要救他們的命脫離死亡，並使他們在饑荒中存活。
20 我們的心向來等候耶和華，他是我們的幫助，我們的盾牌。
21 我們的心必靠他歡喜，因為我們向來倚靠他的聖名。
22 耶和華啊，求你照著我們所仰望你的，向我們施行慈愛。

默想：
1.詩篇33篇描述了我們偉大的神，以色列的神是掌管宇宙的神。
神是創造者，他以自己的能力使得宇宙運轉有序，世上沒有任
何的權能能夠阻擾他拯救世人的計劃。除了神，認識無法得救
的，神也看顧敬畏他的人。

2.想像一下，你的行為，你的一天從早到晚，神都看見。他會看
到你的哪些行為呢？這些行為如何說明你的優次觀、價值觀、
及你所熱衷的事物？

3.你對自己能夠達到成功，有哪些是基於錯誤的依靠？(例如，
靠自己的能力，靠你的背景，教育，聰明，錢財，影響力，朋
友……或幾千個其他的東西。)

4.在認定你的錯誤依靠後，將它們一一交給神，求神為你把它們
拿走，好讓你能夠專心一意的信靠創造者、全能主。

Chapter 33
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for
his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from
his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—15 he
who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by
his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it
cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose
hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death and keep
them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope
in you.

Meditation
1. This psalm gives a big picture of God. Israel’s God has power over
all creation. Because the Lord is the creator, who by his power imposed
his order on the creation, no power or combination of powers
can thwart his plan and purpose to save his people. Men cannot
be saved apart from God. And God watches over “those who fear
him”.

2. Imagine that God watched you conduct your day from beginning to
end. What would he see about your actions? How do they express
your priorities, values and commitments?

3. What hopes for success do you have that are misdirected? (Consider
whether you put your trust in your skills, your background,
your education, your intelligence, your money, your influence, your
friends . . . or a thousand other things.)

4. After you have identified your false hopes, turn them over to God.
Ask him to take them from you.

第三十二章
1 得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的！
2 凡心裡沒有詭詐、耶和華不算為有罪的，這人是有福的！
3 我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。
4 黑夜白日，你的手在我身上沉重；我的精液耗盡，如同夏天的乾旱。
5 我向你陳明我的罪，不隱瞞我的惡。我說：“我要向耶和華承認
我的過犯。”你就赦免我的罪惡。
6 為此，凡虔誠人都當趁你可尋找的時候禱告你；大水泛溢的時
候，必不能到他那裡。
7 你是我藏身之處，你必保佑我脫離苦難，以得救的樂歌四面環繞我。
8 我要教導你，指示你當行的路；我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。
9 你不可像那無知的騾馬，必用嚼環轡頭勒住牠，不然，就不能馴服。
10 惡人必多受苦楚；惟獨倚靠耶和華的，必有慈愛四面環繞他。
11你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂；你們心裡正直的人都當歡呼。

默想：
1.當我們做錯事情，要認錯時，是很不容易的；因為當中有羞
恥、困窘感、怕被懲罰的懼怕感、以及怕被傷害的脆弱感。

2.但是大衛卻強調得蒙赦免的人是有福的。不肯認罪會扭曲我們
與主的關係。但是當我們認罪後，神不但赦免我們，還恢復我
們與他的親密關係；並且再次引領我們走在他的旨意中。難怪
大衛在得赦免，與神恢復關係後，在本篇詩的最後，喜樂地歡
呼起來。

3.反省一下，是否你曾經犯過什麼錯至今還沒有承認、求赦免
的？是什麼？誠懇地向神認罪，求神的饒恕， 並經歷神赦罪
的恩典。 並且求神此智慧與勇氣，來向得罪的人認錯。

Chapter 32
1 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are
covered.
2 Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all
day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” And you
forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and sur
round me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will
counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but
must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD’s unfailing love sur
rounds the one who trusts in him.
11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who
are upright in heart!

Meditation
1. Owning up when we do something wrong really hurts. There’s
the shame, the embarrassment the fear of punishment, the sense of
vulnerability.

2. Yet, David affirms that the forgiven man is blessed. Unconfessed
sin distorts our relationship with the Lord. But when we acknowledge
our sin, He not only forgives us, He restores us to intimate
fellowship with Him. Once again He leads us in His ways. No
wonder David, his restoration now complete, cried out in joy and
gladness at this psalm’s end.

3. Consider whether there are things sins in the past for which you are
guilty but have never sought forgiveness. Name those things. Ask
God’s forgiveness for what you have done wrong, and experience
his grace. Pray for wisdom and courage to ask forgiveness from the
person you’ve wronged.

第三十一章
14 耶和華啊，我仍舊倚靠你；我說：“你是我的神！”
15 我終身的事在你手中，求你救我脫離仇敵的手和那些逼迫我的人。
16 求你使你的臉光照僕人，憑你的慈愛拯救我。
17 耶和華啊，求你叫我不至羞愧，因為我曾呼籲你；求你使惡人
羞愧，使他們在陰間緘默無聲。
18 那撒謊的人逞驕傲輕慢，出狂妄的話攻擊義人，願他的嘴啞而無言。
19 敬畏你、投靠你的人，你為他們所積存的，在世人面前所施行
的恩惠是何等大呢！
20 你必把他們藏在你面前的隱密處，免得遇見人的計謀；你必暗
暗地保守他們在亭子裡，免受口舌的爭鬧。

默想：
1.本篇詩的前半段（1-13節），是描述大衛被掃羅王追逐的情
況；有時候幾乎無指望了，他心中充滿沮喪。但是大衛仍然能
夠開口說：“我仍舊倚靠你“（14節），並且” 我終身的事
在你手中“（15節）。

2.這可能在我們受到極重的壓力時最大的挑戰。我們所需要的是
現在就得到解脫，我們不要等待，但是我們的時間，以及我們
自己都在神的手中。直等到神行動，我們必須抓住神的恩典來
等待，緊緊握住神，他是我們的避難所（隱密處）。

3.神是美善的，我們信靠他為敬畏神的人所積存各樣好處。

4.你怎樣將“我終身的事在你手中”（15節）實際地活現在你的
日常生活中？特別是當你面對困難與苦難時？

14 But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my
enemies, from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let
the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they
speak arrogantly against the righteous.
19 How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those
who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take
refuge in you.
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human
intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.

Meditation
1. The first half of the psalm (v1-13) described David being pursued
by armies led by King Saul. At times, his situation seemed hopeless,
and he was gripped by despair. Yet David found grace to say,
“I trust in you”(v14) and “my times are in your hands”(v15).

2. This is perhaps the greatest challenge we face when hard-pressed.
We want relief now. We don’t want to wait. Yet our times as well
as we ourselves are in God’s hands. Until God acts, we must find
grace to wait, holding tight to God as our refuge.

3. God is good and we can be sure that He has goodness stored up for
us who fear Him. For now, we are safe. In the future, we will be
doubly blessed.

4. How would you make this statement, “My times are in your hands”
(v15), a reality in your life? What does it actually mean to you
when faced with troubles and difficulties?

第三十章
1 耶和華啊，我要尊崇你，因為你曾提拔我，不叫仇敵向我誇耀。
2 耶和華我的神啊，我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。
3 耶和華啊，你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來，使我存活，不至於下坑。
4 耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他，稱讚他可記念的聖名。
5 因為他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間；他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖
然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。
6 至於我，我凡事平順，便說：“我永不動搖。”
7 耶和華啊，你曾施恩，叫我的江山穩固；你掩了面，我就驚惶。
8 耶和華啊，我曾求告你。我向耶和華懇求說：
9 “我被害流血，下到坑中，有甚麼益處呢？塵土豈能稱讚你，傳
說你的誠實嗎？
10 耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！耶和華啊，求你幫助我！”
11 你已將我的哀哭變為跳舞，將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂。
12 好叫我的靈（註：原文作“榮耀”）歌頌你，並不住聲。
耶和華我的神啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！

默想：
1.大衛感謝神醫治他的疾病（2節），神也聆聽悔罪人祈求憐憫
的呼求，並使我們能夠稱謝神知道永遠（12節）。我們心中大
得安慰，“因為（神）的怒氣不過是轉眼之間；他的恩典乃是
一生之久”。因此“一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼”
（5節）。

2.大衛在這首詩中表達了他生命中的起起伏伏。回想過去的半年
到一年當中，你生命中有哪些高潮與低潮，將他們逐一記錄下
來；並想像神與你共渡這些高高低低的經歷。知道神與你同行
對你有什麼幫助？

3.回想過去神曾經在你的難關中，如何幫助你去渡過。為此來感
謝神。

Chapter 30
1 I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not
let my enemies gloat over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.
3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me
from going down to the pit.
4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy
name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand
firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
8 To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust
praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help. ”
11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and
clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be
silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.

Meditation
1. David praised God here for a physical healing (v 2). God also
hears the cries of the penitent for mercy, and makes it possible for
us to give God thanks forever (v12). It gives us great comfort to
know that God is one whose “anger lasts only a moment, but his
favor lasts a lifetime.” Therefore, while “weeping may remain for a
night,” we can be sure that “rejoicing comes in the morning.”(v5)

2. David expresses some of the ups and downs of his life. Consider
Reflect over the last six months to a year of your life and chart
write down a list of your ups and downs. Picture the Lord with you
through the ups and downs of your life. How does it help you to
know God is with you?

3. Give thanks to God for the ways he has been a help to you in the
hard places of your life.

第二十九章
1 神的眾子啊，你們要將榮耀能力歸給耶和華，歸給耶和華。
2 要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他，以聖潔的妝飾
（註：“的”或作“為”）敬拜耶和華。
3 耶和華的聲音發在水上，榮耀的神打雷，耶和華打雷在大水之上。
4 耶和華的聲音大有能力；耶和華的聲音滿有威嚴。
5 耶和華的聲音震破香柏樹；耶和華震碎黎巴嫩的香柏樹。
6 他也使之跳躍如牛犢，使黎巴嫩和西連跳躍如野牛犢。
7 耶和華的聲音使火燄分岔。
8 耶和華的聲音震動曠野；耶和華震動加低斯的曠野。
9 耶和華的聲音驚動母鹿落胎，樹木也脫落淨光；凡在他殿中的，
都稱說他的榮耀。
10 洪水泛濫之時，耶和華坐著為王；耶和華坐著為王，直到永遠。
11 耶和華必賜力量給他的百姓，耶和華必賜平安的福給他的百姓。

 

默想：
1.詩篇29篇所描述的，多是神如同暴風雨一般雄壯與偉大的力
量，令人不單敬畏，甚至心起懼怕。

2.有時候神會用暴風雨來吸引我們留意他，並讓我們因敬畏、恐
懼而俯伏在他面前；但是神也同時會“賜平安的福給他的百姓”。

3.你現在是否正在遭受什麼暴風雨的襲擊，或是你已經像是龍捲
風襲過的一片狼藉、滿目瘡痍？你是否像大衛一樣的回應——
為神掌管風雨而歸榮耀給神？或是你像樹木一樣，也在風雨中
搖盪漂泊？為什麼？

Chapter 29
1 Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory
and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the
splendor of his holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces
the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert
of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And
in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as
King forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people
with peace.

Meditation
1. Most of Psalm 29 describes the actions of God as a mighty and
powerful rainstorm, inspiring not only awe, but even fear.

2. Sometimes God uses a storm to draw our attention to him and cause
us to fall before him in awe and fear, but he also “blesses his people
with peace.”

3. What storm(s)s blows through your life now or has blown through
your life recently? Are you responding like David – giving glory to
God for ruling over the storm? Or are you like nature – in uproar?
Why?

第二十八章
1 耶和華啊，我要求告你；我的磐石啊，不要向我緘默；倘若你向
我閉口，我就如將死的人一樣。
2 我呼求你，向你至聖所舉手的時候，求你垂聽我懇求的聲音！
3 不要把我和惡人並作孽的一同除掉，他們與鄰舍說和平話，心裡卻是奸惡。
4 願你按著他們所做的，並他們所行的惡事待他們。願你照著他們
手所做的待他們，將他們所應得的報應加給他們。
5 他們既然不留心耶和華所行的和他手所做的，他就必毀壞他們，不建立他們。
6 耶和華是應當稱頌的，因為他聽了我懇求的聲音。
7 耶和華是我的力量，是我的盾牌，我心裡倚靠他，就得幫助；所
以我心中歡樂，我必用詩歌頌讚他！
8 耶和華是他百姓的力量，又是他受膏者得救的保障。
9 求你拯救你的百姓，賜福給你的產業，牧養他們，扶持他們，直
到永遠！

 

默想：
1.有時候，我們的禱告似乎像對著沉悶寂靜的天空無的放矢一般
的無效，神好像漠不關心，情願讓我們被惡人拖走。就在這樣
的時候，我們要記得的就是“耶和華是”。

 

2.大衛回想神是誰，他就能信靠神而得到幫助（7-8節）；外面
的情況並沒有改變，但是大衛的心中卻能有說不出來的喜樂而跳躍。

 

3.你什麼時候曾經像大衛這般的急切（1-5節）？或是像大衛那
般的有信心（6-7節）？再重新緩慢地讀幾遍這段詩篇，一面
讀，一面禱告；若有什麼字句吸引你的，就停駐下來，聆聽神
對你現在的處境，要向你說什麼？

Chapter 28
1 To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who
speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what
their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his
hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and
he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his
anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and
carry them forever.

 

Meditation
1. There are times when our prayers seem futile, launched toward a
dull and silent heaven. God seems indifferent, willing to let us be
dragged away with the wicked. Even at times like these, we are to
remember that “the Lord is”.

 

2. As David remembered who God is, he was able to trust in Him to
receive help (vv7-8). The circumstances had not changed, but suddenly
David found his heart leaping with unexplained joy.

 

3. When have you been as desperate as David (vv1-5)? As confident
at David (vv6-7)? Read through this psalm a few times slowly.
Pray as you read it, pause when something phrase catches your attention.
Listen to what God is trying to speak to you about your
present situations.

第二十七章

1 耶和華是我的亮光，是我的拯救！我還怕誰呢？耶和華是我性命
的保障（註：或作“力量”），我還懼誰呢？
2 那作惡的，就是我的仇敵，前來吃我肉的時候，就絆跌仆倒。
3 雖有軍兵安營攻擊我，我的心也不害怕；雖然興起刀兵攻擊我，
我必仍舊安穩。
4 有一件事，我曾求耶和華，我仍要尋求：就是一生一世住在耶和
華的殿中，瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裡求問。
5 因為我遭遇患難，他必暗暗地保守我；在他亭子裡，把我藏在他
帳幕的隱密處，將我高舉在磐石上。
6 現在我得以昂首，高過四面的仇敵；我要在他的帳幕裡歡然獻
祭，我要唱詩歌頌耶和華！

默想：
1.“有一件事，我曾求耶和華”（4節）。你曾經向神求過多少
事情？一百件，一千件？我們都曾經為著很簡單或是嚴重的請
求，向神作過許多許多的請求。但是這篇詩的詩人竟然只求一件事。

2.這是一個怎樣的人？他必定尋找到那位偉大、誘人並可親的
神。他雖然只求一件事，但要在三方面來表現：“住在耶和華
的殿中、瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裡求問”。

3.這個單一的渴望，將其他所有的祈求都包括在內，就是要在神
所在之處，看神所啟示的，並學習神所教導的。當時詩人所面
對的困難，並沒有驅使他去尋求世界能提供解決問題的有效方
法。他的困難反而驅使他來求一件事，就是神自己。

4.再慢慢地讀這段經文，將它作為你自己對神的禱告與請求。這
樣禱告之後，你對這個唯一的請求有什麼感受？做這樣的請求
對你有什麼意義？

Chapter2 7
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The
LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies
and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break
out against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in
the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of
the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will
hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at
his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and
make music to the LORD.

Meditation
1. “One thing I ask from the Lord” (v4). How many things have you
asked God for? A hundred, a thousand things? We all have prayed
and asked God for many things from the simple to the serious. Yet,
the psalmist asked for only ONE thing.

2. Here is a person who has discovered the immensity, the attractiveness,
and the accessibility of God. He desires one thing, but
it’s expressed in three ways, to live in the house of the Lord, to
gaze(contemplate) on the beauty of the Lord, and to seek (study)
him in his temple.

3. This single desire that absorbs all other desires is to be where God
is, to see what he reveals, and to learn what he teaches. The trouble
the psalmist faced didn’t drive him into trying every solution
the world offersthing in hopes that something might turn up that
worked. His troubles drove him to one thing: to God.

4. Read this passage again slowly as your own prayer and plead to
God. How does it feel to ask God for the one single request? What
does that mean to you?

第二十六篇
1 耶和華啊，求你為我伸冤，因我向來行事純全，我又倚靠耶和華並不搖動。
2 耶和華啊，求你察看我，試驗我，熬煉我的肺腑心腸；
3 因為你的慈愛常在我眼前，我也按你的真理而行。
4 我沒有和虛謊人同坐，也不與瞞哄人的同群；
5 我恨惡惡人的會，必不與惡人同坐。
6 耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜，才環繞你的祭壇；
7 我好發稱謝的聲音，也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。
8 耶和華啊，我喜愛你所住的殿和你顯榮耀的居所。
9 不要把我的靈魂和罪人一同除掉；不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉。
10 他們的手中有奸惡，右手滿有賄賂。
11 至於我，卻要行事純全。求你救贖我，憐恤我！
12 我的腳站在平坦地方，在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華！

默想：
1.“行事純全”（無可指摘，1，11節）的生活並非表示不犯
罪，而是指一個人的內心深處對神存敬畏的心，以及立志過敬
虔聖潔的生活，而非僅僅外表的虔誠而已。這是描述一個認真
尋求神的人，他在生命中所表現的是謙卑、卻充滿信心與平
安。這樣的人恨惡邪惡，擁抱聖潔；他們敬拜神，歡喜與神親
密同行，並喜愛來到神的聖所，因為那裡有神的同在。

2.這樣的生命表現在：對神不搖動的信靠（1節），經常體驗神
對他的愛（3節），天天遵行神的話語（真理3節），極力抗拒
惡人及他們的惡行（4-5），並喜愛來到神的家中敬拜、讚美
他（6-8節）。

3.求主幫助你過一個“行事純全”的生活。

Psalms 26
1 Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in
the LORD and have not faltered.
2 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; 3 for I
have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in
reliance on your faithfulness.
4 I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8 LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who
are bloodthirsty, 10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right
hands are full of bribes.
11 I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise
the LORD.

Meditation:
1. The “blameless” life is not life without sin. It was a deep inner
dedication to God that found expression in a godly way of life. It
is rooted in the habits of faithfulness (vv3-5, 11; ref Ps 1) rather
than momentary piety. It is the life of a person who seriously seeks
God. and This life reflects the humble, yet confident, peace;. They
despises evil and embraces godliness. The persony worships God
and delights in a closer “walk” with the Lord. He/she They delights
in coming to God’s house for worship and praise.

2. This life is marked by unwavering trust in God (v1), and by constant
love for him (v3). It is expressed by daily obedience to God’s
truth (v3), with rejection of the wicked as well as wickedness (vv4-
5). And he loves coming to God’s house to worship and praise
(vv6-8). How does you life compare?

3. Ask God to help you to live a “blameless” life.

第二十五章
1 耶和華啊，我的心仰望你。
2 我的神啊，我素來倚靠你。求你不要叫我羞愧，不要叫我的仇敵向我誇勝。
3 凡等候你的必不羞愧；惟有那無故行奸詐的必要羞愧。
4 耶和華啊，求你將你的道指示我，將你的路教訓我！
5 求你以你的真理引導我，教訓我，因為你是救我的神，我終日等候你。
6 耶和華啊，求你記念你的憐憫和慈愛，因為這是亙古以來所常有的。
7 求你不要記念我幼年的罪愆和我的過犯。耶和華啊，求你因你的
恩惠，按你的慈愛記念我。
8 耶和華是良善正直的，所以他必指示罪人走正路。
9 他必按公平引領謙卑人，將他的道教訓他們。
10 凡遵守他的約和他法度的人，耶和華都以慈愛誠實待他。
11 耶和華啊，求你因你的名赦免我的罪，因為我的罪重大。

默想：
1.我們期望神怎樣拯救我們不致羞愧？神會將祂的道指示我們，
以祂的真理引導、教訓我們（4-5節）；神會赦免我們，使我
們脫離以往的罪過，使我們潔淨（6-7節）。

2.因為神是良善美好的，祂會引領正直的人（8-10節）；因為神
是恩慈的，祂甚至赦免我們極大的罪惡（11節）。我們的神何
等奇妙、偉大！

3.你目前最需要的是什麼：保護、引導、或是赦罪？你覺得你能
得到嗎？為什麼？把這件事告訴神，並等候神的回應；今天繼
續與神會話、交談。

Chapter 25
1 In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
2 I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies
triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
4 Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good.
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

Meditation
1. What can we expect from God to deliver us from shame? We can
expect God to show us his way, guiding and teaching us by his truth
(vv4-5). We can expect God to forgive us, freeing us from the burden
of our past and purifying us (vv6-7).

2. Because God is good, he guides the humble into what is right (vv8-
10). Because he is gracious, he forgives even great iniquity (v11).
What a wonderful God we have.

3. What are you most in need of today: protection, guidance or forgiveness?
Do you feel you will receive it? Why or why not?
Speak to God about it and wait for God’s response. Continue this
conversation with God throughout the day.

3 誰能登耶和華的山？誰能站在他的聖所？
4 就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。
5 他必蒙耶和華賜福，又蒙救他的神使他成義。
6 這是尋求耶和華的族類，是尋求你面的雅各。
7 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要被舉起！那榮
耀的王將要進來。
8 榮耀的王是誰呢？就是有力有能的耶和華，在戰場上有能的耶和華。
9 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要把頭抬起！那

3.這情形與你每個主日參加崇拜的心情與態度相比較，有什麼分別？

你更妥善地預備自己參加下個主日、以及以後的崇拜？

Chapter 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who
live in it;

2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on thewaters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his
holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an
idol or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD
mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty — he is the
King of glory.

Meditation
1. Imagine you are in the procession going up to the temple to worship.
As you read this psalm, what feelings and images evoked inyou?

2. Read it again slowly and try to grasp the emotions and attitudes of
fellow worshipers. What are they?

3. Compare it with your own emotions and attitudes of going to worship
each Sunday, what is the difference?

better prepared for worship this week and the weeks following?

2 他使我躺臥在青草地上，領我在可安歇的水邊。
3 他使我的靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。
4 我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因為你與我同在；你的
杖，你的竿，都安慰我。
5 在我敵人面前，你為我擺設筵席。你用油膏了我的頭，使我的福杯滿溢。
6 我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我，我且要住在耶和華的殿中，直到永遠！

默想：
1.出聲讀出這首非常有名且很熟悉的詩篇。

2.現在以反面的意思再讀一次：（耶和華“不”是我的牧者，
我“必至缺乏……”）。這樣讀的時候，那一節最令你不安？為什麼？

3.在以正確的方式重讀一遍。這次有什麼新的體會？將這個體會
與神來對話，慢慢咀嚼，聆聽神。

禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思
想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

 

Chapter 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet
waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Meditation
1. Read aloud this familiar psalm of the Bible.

2. Now read it again in the negative (“The Lord is not my shepherd…”).
What verse is most disturbing to you? Why?

3. Now read this psalm the right way again. Any new insight? Talk
with God about your insights.

Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen
to what he wants to tell me. Then write down any thought and/or prayer

第二十二章
1 我的神，我的神！為甚麼離棄我？為甚麼遠離不救我，不聽我唉哼的言語？
2 我的神啊，我白日呼求，你不應允；夜間呼求，並不住聲。
3 但你是聖潔的，是用以色列的讚美為寶座的（註：“寶座”或作“居所”）。
4 我們的祖宗倚靠你；他們倚靠你，你便解救他們。
5 他們哀求你，便蒙解救；他們倚靠你，就不羞愧；
6 但我是蟲，不是人，被眾人羞辱，被百姓藐視。
7 凡看見我的都嗤笑我，他們撇嘴搖頭說：
8 “他把自己交託耶和華，耶和華可以救他吧！耶和華既喜悅他，
可以搭救他吧！”
9 但你是叫我出母腹的，我在母懷裡，你就使我有倚靠的心。
10 我自出母胎就被交在你手裡，從我母親生我，你就是我的神。
11 求你不要遠離我，因為急難臨近了，沒有人幫助我。

 

默想：
1.“我的神，我的神！為甚麼離棄我？”耶穌在十字架上最痛苦
的時候，引用了這句話（太27：46）；實際上，這也是大衛在
經歷諸多患難時對神的呼求。

2.耶穌在十字架上被神離棄，為了使我們能夠被神接納。神應許
我們“我絕不撇下你，也總不丟棄你”（來13：5）；又應許
祂會與我們同在，直到永遠（太28：20）。

3.不論你現在的境況如何，記住，神絕不會丟棄你的！只管像大
衛一樣向神呼求，並以感恩的心，靜候祂的回應。

Chapter 22
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far
from saving me,so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find
no rest.
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.
4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered
them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not
put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8 “He trusts in the LORD,” they say, “let the LORD rescue him. Let him
deliver him, since he delights in him.”
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even
at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

Meditation
1. The opening words of this psalm: “My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me”, was quoted by Jesus on the cross (Matt 27:46).
This is also David’s cry to God during his many troubled times.

2. Jesus’ was forsaken on the cross so that we would be received by
God. Then God promised that “I will never leave you nor forsake
you”(Heb 13:5). God has also promised to be with us forever (Matt
28:20).

3. No matter what your circumstance is, remember: God will never
forsake you. Cry to God as David did, and wait patiently for his
response with a thankful heart.

第二十一章
1 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜；因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！
2 他心裡所願的，你已經賜給他；他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。
3 你以美福迎接他，把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。
4 他向你求壽，你便賜給他，就是日子長久，直到永遠。
5 他因你的救恩大有榮耀；你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。
6 你使他有洪福，直到永遠，又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。
7 王倚靠耶和華，因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。
8 你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵，你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。
9 你發怒的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。耶和華要在他的震
怒中吞滅他們，那火要把他們燒盡了。
10 你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫（註：“子孫”原文作“果
子”），從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11 因為他們有意加害於你，他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。
12 你必使他們轉背逃跑，向他們的臉搭箭在弦。
13 耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！這樣，我們就唱詩歌
頌你的大能！

 

默想：
1.大衛在這篇詩中列出許多忠心跟隨神的人會得到的祝福：戰勝
（1節），心願得償、所求得應允（2節），美福迎接、戴上冠
冕（3節），永遠歲壽（4節），大有榮耀（5節），神面前有
歡喜（6節），不變慈愛（7節）。

 

2.常常數算紀念神為我們所作的，這是我們歡樂不止息的源頭。

 

3.將你從主從得的福氣一一列出來，仔細看一遍，並為這些祝福
逐一的感謝神。

Chapter 21
1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How great is his joy in the
victories you give!
2 You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the
request of his lips.
3 You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure
gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—length of days, for ever
and ever.
5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed
on him splendor and majesty.
6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad
with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most
High he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize
your foes.
9 When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing
furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire
will consume them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from
mankind.
11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they
cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with
drawn bow.
13 Be exalted in your strength, LORD; we will sing and praise your
might.

 

Meditation
1. David lists the blessings of faithfully following after God in this
passage: the victories won (v1), desires granted (v2), prayers answered
(v2), presence welcomed (v3), crown given (v3), life – forever
and ever (v4), glory bestowed (v5), joy in God’s presence (v6),
unfailing love (v7).

 

2. Remembering what God has done for us is a continual source of
joy.

 

3. Make a list of the blessings you’ve received from God. Go through
the list and thank God for all of the blessings one by one.

第二十章
1 願耶和華在你遭難的日子應允你；願名為雅各神的高舉你。
2 願他從聖所救助你，從錫安堅固你。
3 記念你的一切供獻，悅納你的燔祭。
4 將你心所願的賜給你，成就你的一切籌算。
5 我們要因你的救恩誇勝，要奉我們神的名豎立旌旗。願耶和華成
就你一切所求的。
6 現在我知道耶和華救護他的受膏者，必從他的聖天上應允他，用
右手的能力救護他。
7 有人靠車，有人靠馬，但我們要提到耶和華我們神的名。
8 他們都屈身仆倒；我們卻起來，立得正直。
9 求耶和華施行拯救；我們呼求的時候，願王應允我們！

默想：
1.大衛信靠神，不依靠車馬，因為他知道一切的救恩、祝福都是
從神而來的。我們同有大衛的信心，在為別人禱告的時候，也
當有這樣祝福的禱告。

2.在你的親朋當中，是否有人特別需要這篇詩的祝福禱告。就
以此詩來為他/她禱告，你可以用自己的話來重述這篇詩的禱
詞。也可以將你的禱詞寫下，並寄給這位親朋，讓他知道你在
為他作這樣的禱告。

Chapter 20
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the
name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers
him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of
the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call!

Meditation
1. David’s trust in God rather than chariots (v7) is expressed in his
conviction that blessing comes from God. We who share David’s
belief will express our best wishes for others in prayers like his.

2. Think of one person that may need this prayer. Pray this psalm for
that person. You may rephrase it to suit his/her situation. You may
also write it down and send a note to let him/her know you are praying
for him/her.
