第五章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1耶穌看見這許多的人、就上了山、既已坐下、門徒到他跟前來。2他就開口
教訓他們說、
3虛心的人有福了.因為天國是他們的。
4哀慟的人有福了.因為他們必得安慰。
5溫柔的人有福了.因為他們必承受地土。
6饑渴慕義的人有福了.因為他們必得飽足。
7憐恤人的人有福了.因為他們必蒙憐恤。
8清心的人有福了.因為他們必得見神。
9使人和睦的人有福了.因為他們必稱為神的兒子。
10為義受逼迫的人有福了.因為天國是他們的。

默想:
1. 耶穌將兩種得福的方法加以對比:天國方式是指純粹從神得的恩典;肉
體方式則是指自己的本領。那些一般人認為沒有福或不可能得福的人,
耶穌卻說明神國的生活會使這些人得福。

2. 根據耶穌在這裡的教導,你是否是一個有福的人?為什麼?

3. 要如何才能讓神賜我的福氣,流入我周圍的人與社區中?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:20-23
20智慧在街市上呼喊,在寬闊處發聲,21在熱鬧街頭喊叫,在城門口、
在城中發出言語,22說:「你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧,褻慢人喜歡褻慢,愚
頑人恨惡知識,要到幾時呢?23你們當因我的責備回轉,我要將我的靈
澆灌你們,將我的話指示你們。

Chapter 5
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His
disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3”Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.

Meditation
1. Jesus is contrasting the two ways to blessedness: the kingdom way of pure gift
from God and the wordly way of human attainment. Jesus takes those people
ordinarily thought to be unblessed or unblessable and shows that there is
something about life in the kingdom of God that makes them blessed.
2. Are you a blessed person according to Jesus’ teaching here? Why?
3. How would you allow God’s blessing flow from you to your community and
people around you?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:20-23

Family Time:
Read this passage slowly once. Ask, what is blessing? Do you like to receive
blessing? What does God’s blessing mean? How is that different from what
people usually think? Pray for God’s true blessing for the family and the loved
ones.

第四章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1隨後,耶穌被聖靈帶到曠野,受魔鬼的試探。2耶穌禁食了四十晝夜,就
餓了,3試探者前來對他說:“你若是神的兒子,就吩咐這些石頭變成食物
吧!”4耶穌回答:“經上記著:‘人活著,不是單靠食物,更要靠神口裡
所出的一切話。’”5隨後,魔鬼帶耶穌進了聖城,使他站在殿頂上,6對他
說:“你若是神的兒子,就跳下去吧!因為經上記著:‘神為了你,會吩咐
自己的使者用手托住你,免得你的腳碰到石頭。’”7耶穌對他說:“經上又
記著:‘不可試探主你的神。’”8最後,魔鬼帶耶穌上了一座極高的山,把
世界各國和各國的榮華都指給他看。9並且對他說:“你只要跪下來拜我,我
就把這一切都給你。”10但耶穌說:“撒但,走開!經上記著:‘當拜主你
的神,單要事奉他。’”11於是魔鬼離開了耶穌,有天使前來服事他。

默想:
1. 若耶穌為了果腹而變石為餅、為證明自己而由殿頂跳下、為免於苦死得
國而跪拜魔鬼,祂就不再是神順命的兒子,不值得我們效法。

2. 但是經文描寫耶穌並沒有抄捷徑來得榮耀,卻選擇走艱苦、漫長的順服
之路,仰賴神的話語而生活、靠神的道來抵擋試探。智慧並非僅僅是明
白真理,還要切實遵行真理。

3. 你對神的話語持怎樣的態度?當試探來臨時,你如何抗拒?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:15-19
15我兒,不要與他們同行一道,禁止你腳走他們的路。16因為他們的
腳奔跑行惡,他們急速流人的血。17好像飛鳥,網羅設在眼前仍不躲
避,18這些人埋伏是為自流己血,蹲伏是為自害己命。19凡貪戀財利
的,所行之路都是如此,這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。

Chapter 4
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2
After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him
and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus
answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that
comes from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had
him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said,
“throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a
stone.’” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to
the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you
will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is
written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” 11 Then the devil left him,
and angels came and attended him.

Meditation
1. If Jesus had turned stone into break, thrown himself down from the pinnacle of
the temple. or worshiped Satan, in order to feed himself, prove himself to the
crowds, or gain his kingdom without dying for it, he would no longer have been
the obedient son of God worthy of our imitation.

2. However, Jesus didn’t take the shortcut to glory, but followed the hard and long
path of obedience, lived by God and resisted temptation by relying on God’s
word. God’s wisdom isn’t just for us to know the truth, but to obey it.

3. What’s your attitude toward God’s word? How do you resist when temptation
comes?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.
Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:15-19

Family Time:
Have you ever been tempted to do something you know you shouldn’t? How
did you stay strong at such time? What did Jesus do to fight the temptation?
What can we do?

第三章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1那時,施洗的約翰出來,在猶太的曠野傳道,2說:“天國近了,你們應當
悔改。”3以賽亞先知所說:“在曠野有呼喊者的聲音:‘預備主的道,修直
他的路!’”就是指著這約翰說的。4約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服,腰束皮帶,
吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。5耶路撒冷、猶太全地和約旦河一帶的人都出來到他那
裡去,6承認自己的罪,在約旦河裡受了他的洗。7約翰看見許多法利賽人
和撒都該人也來受他的洗,就對他們說:“毒蛇所生的啊,誰指示你們逃避
那將要來的忿怒呢?8應當結出果子來,與悔改的心相稱。9你們心裡不要以
為:‘我們有亞伯拉罕作我們的祖宗。’我告訴你們,神能從這些石頭中給
亞伯拉罕興起後裔來。10現在斧頭已經放在樹根上,所有不結好果子的樹,
就砍下來,丟在火裡。11我用水給你們施洗,表示你們悔改;但在我以後要
來的那一位,能力比我更大,我就是替他提鞋也沒有資格。他要用聖靈與火
給你們施洗。12他手裡拿著簸箕,要揚淨麥場,把麥子收進倉裡,卻用不滅
的火把糠秕燒盡。”

默想:
1. 當時的宗教領袖認為拯救是需要靠正直的生活來得著;當施洗約翰說,
他們要結出果子來與悔改的心相稱(8節),他向這些領袖指出,他們必
須承認得救必須藉著救主方有可能,並要以此教導眾百姓。

2. 當耶穌因信進入人的生命,他便在此人的裡(心中)外(行為)作根本
的改造。因此,神的拯救與我們實際活出的得救生活應當並肩而行的。
我們得拯救後,藉著改變的態度與行為,而影響別人;並且實踐神在我
們生命中的計劃,這樣,我們就結果子了。

3. 有多少次你想靠自己來改變,但是最後還是本性難移,舊習重操?你無
法使自己成為神眼中公義的人,也無法拯救自己的生命;但是你可以停
止目前一切的努力,細觀神在你心中、你生活裡正在作的一切更新的美
事;你可以選擇靠賴聖靈,來改變、塑造你。

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:10-14
10我兒,惡人若引誘你,你不可隨從。11他們若說:「你與我們同去,
我們要埋伏流人之血,要蹲伏害無罪之人。12我們好像陰間,把他們活
活吞下;他們如同下坑的人,被我們囫圇吞了。13我們必得各樣寶物,
將所擄來的裝滿房屋。14你與我們大家同分,我們共用一個囊袋」

Chapter 3
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and
saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was
spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’” 4 John’s clothes were
made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts
and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the
whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the
Jordan River. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to
where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to
flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do
not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that
out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the
root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down
and thrown into the fire. 11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me
comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He
will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and
he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Meditation
1. Religious leaders believed they were saved by righteous living. When John told
them to bear fruit in keeping with repentance (v8) he was telling them to change
their mind about their need for a savior and teach others to do the same.

2. Salvation is not a fruit bearing event. When Jesus enters a life by faith, he does a
fundamental transformation of heart and behaviour. Salvation goes hand in hand
with actually living it out. Bearing fruit comes after we’re saved as we influence
others through our changed attitude and behavior, and by implementing the
Lord’s plans for our life.

3. How many times have you tried to change and only to be back at the same old
habits and lifestyle as before? Quit what you’re doing and look at what God is
doing inside and out; and choose to rely on the Spirit to transform you.

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:10-14

Family Time:
What is REPENTANCE? Who needs it? Why? How and when do we repent?
What happens when we repent? Lead the family in a prayer of confession and
repentance and ask God to help each one to “produce fruit in keeping with
repentance”

第二章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1希律王執政的時候,耶穌生在猶太的伯利恆。那時,有幾個占星家從東方來
到耶路撒冷,2說:“那生下來作猶太人的王的在哪裡?我們看見他的星出
現,特來朝拜他。”3希律王聽見了就心裡不安,全耶路撒冷的居民也是這
樣。4他就召集所有的祭司長和民間的經學家,問他們基督應該生在哪裡。5
他們回答:“在猶太的伯利恆。因為有先知在經上這樣說:6‘猶大地的伯
利恆啊!你在猶大的領袖中,並不是最小的,因為必有一位領袖從你那裡出
來,牧養我的子民以色列。’”7希律暗中把占星家召來,仔細查問他們,
那顆星甚麼時候出現,8然後派他們到伯利恆去,說:“你們去細心尋訪那小
孩,找到了就向我報告,好叫我也去拜他。”9他們聽命去了。他們在東方
看見的那顆星,忽然在他們前頭,領他們到那小孩所在的地方,就在上頭停
住了。10他們看見那顆星,歡喜極了;11進了房子,看見小孩和他母親馬利
亞,就俯伏拜他,並且打開寶盒,把黃金、乳香、沒藥作禮物獻給他。12後
來他們在夢中得著指示不要回到希律那裡去,就從別的路回鄉去了。

默想:
1. 本段經文中,「拜」字出現了三次(2,8,11節)。東方的博士認識耶
穌是「要作猶太人的王」的;希律卻因此消息而深受威脅,因不願意將
他的寶座讓給耶穌,或任何人。我呢?我認識耶穌是我生命的王、我的
救主嗎?今天是誰坐在我生命的寶座上?

2. 敬拜不僅是個人與神單獨的關係,神的旨意並非要我們私下享有神的
愛與赦罪之恩。敬拜將我們與神縱向的關係,及與人的橫向關係聯結起
來。在敬拜中,我們拆除了私人及公眾之間的牆,成為一個身體,,彼
此相愛、彼此饒恕、也彼此服事。

3. 你是如何敬拜神的?在敬拜中是否享受到神的愛,神的赦罪之恩?在敬
拜中,是否與其他聖徒結成一體?是否有什麼事情,阻礙你全然地敬拜
神?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:7-9
7敬畏耶和華是知識的開端,愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。8我兒,要聽你父
親的訓誨,不可離棄你母親的法則,9因為這要做你頭上的華冠,你項
上的金鏈。

Chapter 2
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi
from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born
king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When
he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked
them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied,
“for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come
a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly
and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to
Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him,
report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king,
they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them
until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they
were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother
Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures
and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been
warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another
route.

Meditation:
1. The word “worship” occurred three times in this passage. The wise men knew
Jesus as “the one who has been born king of the Jews”. And they came all the
way “to worship him.”

2. Worship isn’t a private matter between individuals and God only. It is not God’s
intention for you to enjoy his love and forgiveness in private. Worship integrates
our relationship with God as well as that among believers. In worship, we
become one body to love, to forgive and to serve.

3. How’s your worship? Do you enjoy God’s love and his forgiveness in worship?
Do you become part of the body with other saints? Is there any obstacle that is
hindering you worship God totally?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:7-9

Family Time:
As a family, try to imagine the night Jesus was born. Show some pictures
of Jesus’ birth. Sing a verse of “O little town of Bethlehem” (even if it’s not
Christmas time.) Let each one thank God for sending Jesus.

第一章

最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1亞伯拉罕的後裔,大衛的子孫(後裔子孫原文都作兒子下同),耶穌基督的
家譜
18耶穌基督降生的事記在下面:他母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟,還沒有迎
娶,馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。19她丈夫約瑟是個義人,不願意明明的羞辱
她,想要暗暗地把她休了。20正思念這事的時候,有主的使者向他夢中顯
現,說:「大衛的子孫約瑟,不要怕!只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來,因她所
懷的孕是從聖靈來的。21她將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要
將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。」22這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說
的話,23說:「必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」(以馬內
利翻出來就是「 神與我們同在」。)24約瑟醒了,起來,就遵著主使者的
吩咐把妻子娶過來;25只是沒有和她同房,等她生了兒子(有古卷:等他生
了頭胎的兒子),就給他起名叫耶穌。

默想:
1. 這段經文描寫為人正直的約瑟,顯然不知道馬利亞是童貞受孕的,他擔
心馬利亞會因此受到羞辱,甚至會遭人用石頭打死。然而,神藉著天使
在夢中向約瑟啟示,他便順從而將馬利亞娶為妻子。

2. 天使在23節引用賽七14告訴約瑟“有童女將懷孕生子,他的名字要叫
以馬內利”。神在這裡向世人宣告,祂要與我們同在,和我們一同經歷
人類一切的喜、怒、哀、樂,一同渡過我們的侷限、羞辱、痛苦、掙
扎……。

3. 神成為肉身住在我們中間,這個事實怎樣改變我的生命?我可以做些什
麼,使得這事實更為真實呢?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖

Chapter 1
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was
pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be
pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the
law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce
her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home
as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will
give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through
the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call
him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what
the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But
he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him
the name Jesus.

Meditation:
1. Joseph is a righteous man, faithful to God’s law (v19). He feared that Mary would
be subject to a public disgrace, and perhaps even stoning for immoral sexual
activity. God directed Joseph through an angel in a dream. He obeyed and took
Mary home as his wife.

2. The angel quoted Isaiah 7:14 to tell Joseph “the virgin will conceive and give
birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”(v23). Here God is announcing
to the world that he will be with us, he will experience all the limits, shame and
suffering we go through.

3. How could the fact that “God became flesh and living among us” have changed
your life? What could you do to make this fact more a reality?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:1-6

Family Time:
God spoke to Joseph in a dream and helped him to make the right decision. How
does God talk to people today? Is there any decision the family or someone is
facing? As a family, pray for God’s direction and our obedience to God’s word.

Chapter 72
1 Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.
2 May he judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor.
5 May he endure as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.
6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase? How is that related to your current situation? What
does God tell you to do?

3. This psalm is regarded in Jewish and Christian tradition as “messianic”.
One day a coming King will “judge your people in righteousness”
and “defend the afflicted”.

4. Can you honestly say that God is your ruler? If not, who is? If so,
how does your life reveal God’s rule? What does it mean to have
God as King?

Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen

15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩,因我不計其數。
16 我要來說主耶和華大能的事,我單要提說你的公義。
17 神啊,自我年幼時,你就教訓我;直到如今,我傳揚你奇妙的作為。

Chapter 71
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,of your saving acts all day
long— though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.

第七十章
1 神啊,求你快快搭救我!耶和華啊,求你速速幫助我!
2 願那些尋索我命的,抱愧蒙羞;願那些喜悅我遭害的,退後受辱!
3 願那些對我說“阿哈!阿哈!”的,因羞愧退後。
4 願一切尋求你的,因你高興歡喜;願那些喜愛你救恩的常
說:“當尊神為大!”
5 但我是困苦窮乏的。神啊,求你速速到我這裡來!你是幫助我
的,搭救我的。耶和華啊,求你不要耽延!

1 Hasten, O God, to save me;
come quickly, LORD, to help me.
2 May those who want to take my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.
3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The LORD is great!”

come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
LORD, do not delay.

第六十九章
5 神啊,我的愚昧,你原知道;我的罪愆不能隱瞞。
6 萬軍的主耶和華啊,求你叫那等候你的,不要因我蒙羞;以色列
的神啊,求你叫那尋求你的,不要因我受辱。
7 因我為你的緣故受了辱罵,滿面羞愧。
8 我的弟兄看我為外路人,我的同胞看我為外邦人。
9 因我為你的殿心裡焦急,如同火燒,並且辱罵你人的辱罵都落在我身上。
10 我哭泣,以禁食刻苦我心,這倒算為我的羞辱。
11 我拿麻布當衣裳,就成了他們的笑談。
12 坐在城門口的談論我,酒徒也以我為歌曲。

Chapter 69
5 You, God, know my folly;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 Lord, the LORD Almighty,
may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn for your sake,
and shame covers my face.
8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.

第六十八章
7 神啊,你曾在你百姓前頭出來,在曠野行走。
8 那時,地見神的面而震動,天也落雨,西奈山見以色列神的面也震動。
9 神啊,你降下大雨。你產業以色列疲乏的時候,你使他堅固。
10 你的會眾住在其中。神啊,你的恩惠是為困苦人預備的。
11 主發命令,傳好信息的婦女成了大群。
12 統兵的君王逃跑了,逃跑了;在家等候的婦女分受所奪的。
13 你們安臥在羊圈的時候,好像鴿子的翅膀鍍白銀,翎毛鍍黃金一般。
14 全能者在境內趕散列王的時候,勢如飄雪在撒們。
15 巴珊山是神的山,巴珊山是多峰多嶺的山。
16 你們多峰多嶺的山哪,為何斜看神所願居住的山?耶和華必住
這山,直到永遠。
17 神的車輦累萬盈千,主在其中,好像在西奈聖山一樣。
18 你已經升上高天擄掠仇敵;你在人間,就是在悖逆的人間受了
供獻,叫耶和華神可以與他們同住。

默想:
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

2.若時間容許,請將全篇讀完。詩人回述以色列的歷史,讚美神
帶領以色列民一路凱旋過來;回顧耶和華揀選錫安山,並百姓
從被擄、受欺壓到順服接受神的恩典。詩人因此大大喜樂,高
舉讚美神,並呼籲眾百姓因神彰顯的大能讚美祂。

埃及”?“曠野”?“應許之地”?“擴張國度”?你的生命
中還有什麼邪惡污穢是需要清除,使你能夠凱旋得勝?

5.再讀一遍本篇,並以你的得救歷史來對比以色列的得救歷史。
一面讀,一面為你的得救感謝神。

Chapter 68
7 When you, God, went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9 You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.
11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:
12 “Kings and armies flee in haste;
the women at home divide the plunder.
13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,
the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold.”
14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land,
it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.
15 Mount Bashan, majestic mountain,
Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.
18 When you ascended on high,
you took many captives;
you received gifts from people,
even from the rebellious—
that you, Lord God, might dwell there.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. If time permits, read through the whole psalm for today. God is praised
for his triumphal march through history, in scenes that recall the exodus,
his appearance at Sinai, the thunderstorm that defeated Sisera in Deborah’s
time, and the rains which made the Promised Land a place of blessing.

3. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and meditate
on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this word or phrase?
How is that related to your current situation? What does God tell you to
do?

4. Briefly review your personal “salvation history”. What was your Egypt?
Your exodus? Desert? Promised land? Kingdom expansion? What evil
had to be rooted out of your life?

5. Read this passage again with your own history in mind. Praise God as you
read along.

15 我要把肥牛作燔祭,將公羊的香祭獻給你,又把公牛和山羊獻上。
16 凡敬畏神的人,你們都來聽!我要述說他為我所行的事。
17 我曾用口求告他,我的舌頭也稱他為高。
18 我若心裡注重罪孽,主必不聽。

and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,

6 他既以大能束腰,就用力量安定諸山,

9 你眷顧地,降下透雨,使地大得肥美。神的河滿了水;你這樣澆
灌了地,好為人預備五穀。
10 你澆透地的犁溝,潤平犁脊,降甘霖使地軟和;其中發長的,
蒙你賜福。
11 你以恩典為年歲的冠冕,你的路徑都滴下脂油。

8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

you call forth songs of joy.
9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with
grain,
for so you have ordained it.
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.

8 他們必然絆跌,被自己的舌頭所害;凡看見他們的必都搖頭。

from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it?”
6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God

all the upright in heart will glory in him!

1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

and beheld your power and your glory.

I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

第六十二章
1我的心默默無聲,專等候神;我的救恩是從他而來。
2惟獨他是我的磐石,我的拯救;他是我的高台,我必不很動搖。
3你們大家攻擊一人,把他毀壞,如同毀壞歪斜的牆、將倒的壁,
要到幾時呢?
4他們彼此商議,專要從他的尊位上把他推下;他們喜愛謊話,口
雖祝福,心卻咒詛。
5我的心哪,你當默默無聲,專等候神,因為我的盼望是從他而來。
6惟獨他是我的磐石,我的拯救;他是我的高台,我必不動搖。
7我的拯救,我的榮耀,都在乎神;我力量的磐石,我的避難所,
都在乎神。
8你們眾民當時時倚靠他,在他面前傾心吐意。神是我們的避難所。

一塊小石頭,整天帶在身上。每當你的手觸碰到這塊石頭時,
就為神是你的磐石而感謝祂。

Chapter 62
1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.

and fulfill my vows day after day.

4 你把旌旗賜給敬畏你的人,可以為真理揚起來。
5 求你應允我們,用右手拯救我們,好叫你所親愛的人得救。
6 神已經指著他的聖潔說(註:或作“應許我”):“我要歡樂,
我要分開示劍,丈量疏割谷。

Chapter 60
1 You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us;
you have been angry—now restore us!
2 You have shaken the land and torn it open;
mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 You have shown your people desperate times;
you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner
to be unfurled against the bow.
5 Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.
12 With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.

9 You are my strength, I watch for you;

God will go before me

4 他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣,他們好像塞耳的聾虺,
5 不聽行法術的聲音,雖用極靈的咒語,也是不聽。
6 神啊,求你敲碎他們口中的牙;耶和華啊,求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙!
7 願他們消滅如急流的水一般。他們瞅準射箭的時候,願箭頭彷彿砍斷。
8 願他們像蝸牛消化過去,又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。
9 你們用荊棘燒火,鍋還未熱,他要用旋風把青的和燒著的一齊颳去。

Chapter 58
1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?
Do you judge people with equity?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
3 Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5 that will not heed the tune of the charmer,
however skillful the enchanter may be.
6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
LORD, tear out the fangs of those lions!
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away;
when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
8 May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,
like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—
whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.
10 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,
when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Then people will say,
“Surely the righteous still are rewarded;
surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.

6 我要把甘心祭獻給你;耶和華啊,我要稱讚你的名,這名本為美好。
7 他從一切的急難中把我救出來,我的眼睛也看見了我仇敵遭報。

1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時,有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的?當
你讀到這個字或詞句時,你有什麼感受?

3.被朋友出賣是很痛苦的事,若是遇到這樣的事,大衛使我們的
好的榜樣。你曾經在什麼情況下被親近的人出賣?當時你的反
應如何?若是又遇見類似這樣的情況,這篇詩篇如何幫助你來
面對?

4.心中不要老是停留在“被出賣”這事上,讓神來處理應有的處
罰。學習大衛將心中想要傷害或報復的思想都交出來給神,他
就能稱讚神,並想起過去神“從一切的急難中把我救出來”的
經歷。新約裡,耶穌教導我們要為那些逼迫我們的人禱告。當
我們為別人禱告時——甚至為我們的仇敵禱告時——就會使我
們的心對準神的心,而因為神就是愛,當我們為別人禱告的時
候,我們對他們的愛也會增長。聆聽聖靈在你心中對你所說的
話,祈求聖靈將一些曾經傷害過你的人之面孔顯示給你看,並
求聖靈幫助你不單饒恕他們,還能以神的愛去愛他們。

Chapter 54
1 Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
people without regard for God.
4 Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?

3. It’s especially painful when a friend turns against us. When that
happens we would be wise to follow David’s lead. When did you
experience betrayal by someone close to you? How did you react?
How would this psalm help you to face it now?

4. Don’t dwell on the betrayal. Let God mete out any appropriate
punishment. Released from any thoughts of hurt or revenge, David
praised God, and remembered how the Lord “delivered me from
all my troubles”. In the NT, Jesus teachers us to pray for those who
persecute us. Out of prayer for others—even our enemies—comes
an alignment with God’s heart, and because God is love, as we pray
for others we will grow in our love for them. Listen to the Holy
Spirit, and ask him to give you the faces of some people who have
hurt you and who you need to not only forgive, but to love.

第五十三章
1 愚頑人心裡說:“沒有神!”他們都是邪惡,行了可憎惡的罪
孽,沒有一個人行善。
2 神從天上垂看世人,要看有明白的沒有,有尋求他的沒有。
3 他們各人都退後,一同變為污穢;並沒有行善的,連一個也沒有!
4 作孽的沒有知識嗎?他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣,並不求告神。
5 他們在無可懼怕之處,就大大害怕,因為神把那安營攻擊你之人
的骨頭散開了。你使他們蒙羞,因為神棄絕了他們。
6 但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出,神救回他被擄的子民。那時,雅
各要快樂,以色列要歡喜。

默想:

3.我們通常都認為“行義則順,棄神必敗”;但這說法常常都行
不通的,這使得我們質疑為什麼壞人常常是有好報?詩人在這
裡說,不要掛慮這些事,神遲早會處置他們的。

4.對那些暗中作惡卻大發其財的人,你是否暗地裡希望看見他們
遭惡報?從他們發達以及你對此事的反應,能否看出你對神、
對自己、以及對這些人的看法、態度?你是否專注在這世上的
成功,或是留意存留財寶在天上?

5.和神對話,告訴祂你現在的感受,然後聆聽神對你的回應。

Chapter 53
1 The fool says in his heart,“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Meditation

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage?

3. 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.

4. 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?

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

1 勇士啊,你為何以作惡自誇?神的慈愛是常存的。
2 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐,好像剃頭刀,快利傷人。
3 你愛惡勝似愛善,又愛說謊,不愛說公義。
4 詭詐的舌頭啊,你愛說一切毀滅的話。
5 神也要毀滅你,直到永遠;他要把你拿去,從你的帳棚中抽出,
從活人之地將你拔出。
6 義人要看見而懼怕,並要笑他。
7 說:“看哪,這就是那不以神為他力量的人,只倚仗他豐富的財
物 ,在邪惡上堅立自己。”
8 至於我,就像神殿中的青橄欖樹,我永永遠遠倚靠神的慈愛!
9 我要稱謝你,直到永遠,因為你行了這事;我也要在你聖民面前
仰望你的名,這名本為美好。

1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
8 But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.

6 你所喜愛的是內裡誠實;你在我隱密處必使我得智慧。
7 求你用牛膝草潔淨我,我就乾淨;求你洗滌我,我就比雪更白。
8 求你使我得聽歡喜快樂的聲音,使你所壓傷的骨頭可以踴躍。
9 求你掩面不看我的罪,塗抹我一切的罪孽。
10神啊,求你為我造清潔的心,使我裡面重新有正直的靈

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your
sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,

6 那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人,
7 一個也無法贖自己的弟兄,也不能替他將贖價給神,
8 叫他長遠活著,不見朽壞,因為贖他生命的價值極貴,只可永遠罷休。
9
10他必見智慧人死,又見愚頑人和畜類人一同滅亡,將他們的財貨

4.讀下面這段話,並默想:“虛心的人有福了(心靈貧窮的人有
福了,新漢語譯本)”(太5:3)
“‘虛心的人有福了’,這句經文的意思是‘一個人明白自己完
全無助,並全心地將一切都信靠神’。當一個人明白了自己的
完全無助,並且將整個信靠都投在神身上,就會有兩件事進入
他的生命中,而這兩件事是同一件事的兩面。他會完全從事物
中抽離,因為他深知任何事情都不能夠帶給他平安與喜樂;另
一方面他會完全的緊緊依著神,因為他會知道單單神就能帶給
他幫助、盼望與力量。這個在靈裡面是貧窮的人,就能夠明白
事物是虛空的,而神則是一切。”(英國著名聖經註釋專家威

5 Why should I fear when evil days come,

7 No one can redeem the life of another

8 the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—
9 so that they should live on forever and not see decay.
10 For all can see that the wise die,
that the foolish and the senseless also perish,
leaving their wealth to others.
11 Their tombs will remain their houses forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had named lands after themselves.
12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure;

you immortality.

4. Read and meditate: “’Blessed are the poor in spirit’ means ‘Blessed
is the man who has realized his own utter helplessness, and who
has put his whole trust in God.’ If a man has realized his own utter
helplessness, and has put his whole trust in God, there will enter
into his life two things which are opposite sides of the same thing.
He will become completely detached from things, for he will know
that things have not got it in them to bring happiness or security;
and he will become completely attached to God, for he will know
that God alone can bring him help, and hope, and strength. The
man who is poor in spirit is the man who has realized that things
mean nothing and that God means everything.” – William Barclay

1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
3 God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered by an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the LORD Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.
