第六十四章
1 神啊，我哀歎的時候，求你聽我的聲音；求你保護我的性命不受
仇敵的驚恐。
2 求你把我隱藏，使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀和作孽之人的擾亂。
3 他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，
4 要在暗地射完全人。他們忽然射他，並不懼怕。
5 他們彼此勉勵設下惡計；他們商量暗設網羅說：“誰能看見？”
6 他們圖謀奸惡說：“我們是極力圖謀的。”他們各人的意念心思是深的。
7 但神要射他們，他們忽然被箭射傷。
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。
9 眾人都要害怕，要傳揚神的工作，並且明白他的作為。
10 義人必因耶和華歡喜，並要投靠他；凡心裡正直的人都要誇口。

Chapter 64
1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
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
and ponder what he has done.
10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!

does God tell you to do?

第六十三章
1 神啊，你是我的神！我要切切地尋求你；在乾旱疲乏無水之地，
我渴想你，我的心切慕你。
2 我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你，為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。
3 因你的慈愛比生命更好，我的嘴唇要頌讚你。
4 我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你，我要奉你的名舉手。
5 我在床上記念你，在夜更的時候思想你。我的心就像飽足了骨髓
肥油，我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。
6
7 因為你曾幫助我，我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。
8 我心緊緊地跟隨你；你的右手扶持我。
9 但那些尋索要滅我命的人，必往地底下去。
10他們必被刀劍所殺，被野狗所吃。
11但是王必因神歡喜，凡指著他發誓的，必要誇口，因為說謊之人
的口必被塞住。

默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

3.這首詩篇要我們專注在神上面。有一個小冊子名為“The Game
with the Minutes”（1953年出版）是一位在菲律賓的宣教士
Frank Laubach,他嘗試在每天的每一分鐘裡，都花一秒鐘來想
到神，他稱這為“分秒遊戲”。

4.試試看你也來與神玩這個“分秒遊戲”，看看到今天晚上時，
你想到神的積分是多少。將你的分數告訴神，並與神討論你對
祂的專注。

Chapter 63
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.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
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.

Meditation

3. This psalm calls for focused attention on God. The Game with the
Minutes (1953). In this pamphlet, Frank Laubach, missionary in
the Philippines invited Christians to attempt calling God to mind
for at least one second out of each minute of the day.

4. Play this Game with the Minutes today and see how much you
score at the end of the day. Talk to God about your score and your
attention on him.

260靈修 Dec26, 2012 詩篇 Psalms 62:1-8

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。

默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

3.在這篇詩中，大衛將神形容為磐石。今天找個時間走到戶外，
找幾塊石頭，仔細的觀察一下。思想一些石頭的特徵，並它們
怎樣說明神的性情。將你的想法寫下來。

4.感謝神，祂是你的磐石；按著石頭的每一個特性來感謝神。挑
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.

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

3. In this psalm, David describes God as a rock. Find sometime today
to be outdoors. Find a few rocks and look at them. Reflect on
the characteristics of rocks and how they describe God’s character.
Write down your reflections.

4. Thank God that he is like a rock. Thank God for what each of the
aspects of his character means to you. Find a small stone and carry
it with you today. Every time your hand touches it, reflect on the
fact that God is your rock.

260靈修 Dec25, 2012 詩篇 Psalms 61:1-8

第六十一章
1 神啊，求你聽我的呼求，側耳聽我的禱告。
2 我心裡發昏的時候，我要從地極求告你，求你領我到那比我更高的磐石。
3 因為你作過我的避難所，作過我的堅固台，脫離仇敵。
4 我要永遠住在你的帳幕裡，我要投靠在你翅膀下的隱密處！
5 神啊，你原是聽了我所許的願。你將產業賜給敬畏你名的人。
6 你要加添王的壽數，他的年歲必存到世世。
7 他必永遠坐在神面前；願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他。
8 這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠，好天天還我所許的願。

默想：

Chapter 61
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.

第六十章
1 神啊，你丟棄了我們，使我們破敗。你向我們發怒，求你使我們復興。
2 你使地震動，而且崩裂。求你將裂口醫好，因為地搖動。
3 叫你的民遇見艱難；你叫我們喝那使人東倒西歪的酒。
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。
7 基列是我的，瑪拿西也是我的，以法蓮是護衛我頭的，猶大是我的杖，
8 摩押是我的沐浴盆，我要向以東拋鞋。非利士啊，你還能因我歡呼嗎？”
9 誰能領我進堅固城？誰能引我到以東地？
10 神啊，你不是丟棄了我們嗎？神啊，你不和我們的軍兵同去嗎？
11 求你幫助我們攻擊敵人，因為人的幫助是枉然的。
12 我們倚靠神，才得施展大能，因為踐踏我們敵人的就是他。

默想：

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.

in this psalm can help you face problems head on?

第五十九章
6 他們晚上轉回，叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
7 他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裡有刀。他們說：“有誰聽見？”
8 但你耶和華必笑話他們，你要嗤笑萬邦。
9 我的力量啊，我必仰望你，因為神是我的高台。
10我的神要以慈愛迎接我，神要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
11不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。主啊，你是我們的盾牌，求你
用你的能力使他們四散，且降為卑。
12因他們口中的罪和嘴裡的言語，並咒罵虛謊的話，願他們在驕傲
之中被纏住了。
13求你發怒，使他們消滅，以至歸於無有，叫他們知道神在雅各中
間掌權，直到地極。

默想：

Chapter 59
6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, LORD; you scoff at all those nations.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.

Meditation

3. How should we pray for criminals or those who persecute God’s
people? How do you balance hatred of evil with love for enemies?

260靈修 Dec20, 2012 詩篇 Psalms 58:1-11

第五十八章
1 世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義嗎？施行審判，豈按正直嗎？
2 不然，你們是心中作惡，你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。
3 惡人一出母胎，就與神疏遠；一離母腹，便走錯路，說謊話。
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。
10 義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜，要在惡人的血中洗腳。
11 因此，人必說：“義人誠然有善報，在地上果有施行判斷的神。”

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.”

Meditation

第五十七章
1 神啊，求你憐憫我，憐憫我！因為我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你
翅膀的蔭下，等到災害過去。
2 我要求告至高的神，就是為我成全諸事的神。
3 那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候，神從天上必施恩救我，也必向我發
出慈愛和誠實。
4 我的性命在獅子中間；我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中。他們的牙
齒是槍、箭；他們的舌頭是快刀。
5 神啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！
6 他們為我的腳設下網羅，壓制我的心。他們在我面前挖了坑，自
己反掉在其中。
7 神啊，我心堅定，我心堅定！我要唱詩，我要歌頌！
8 我的靈啊（註：原文作“榮耀”），你當醒起！琴瑟啊，你們當
醒起！我自己要極早醒起。
9 主啊，我要在萬民中稱謝你，在列邦中歌頌你！
10 因為你的慈愛高及諸天；你的誠實達到穹蒼。
11 神啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！

Chapter 57
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 I am in the midst of lions;
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They spread a net for my feet—I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

第五十六章
1 神啊，求你憐憫我！因為人要把我吞了，終日攻擊欺壓我。
2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了，因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。
3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。
4 我倚靠神，我要讚美他的話；我倚靠神，必不懼怕。血氣之輩能
把我怎麼樣呢？
5 他們終日顛倒我的話，他們一切的心思都是要害我。
6 他們聚集、埋伏，窺探我的腳蹤，等候要害我的命。
7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？神啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落。
8 我幾次流離，你都記數。求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裡，這不都
記在你冊子上嗎？
9 我呼求的日子，我的仇敵都要轉身退後。神幫助我，這是我所知道的。

Chapter 56
1 Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.

you choose faith when you are afraid?

第五十五章
4 我心在我裡面甚是疼痛，死的驚惶臨到我身。
5 恐懼戰兢歸到我身，驚恐漫過了我。
6 我說：“但願我有翅膀像鴿子，我就飛去得享安息。
7 我必遠遊，宿在曠野。
8 我必速速逃到避所，脫離狂風暴雨。”
9 主啊，求你吞滅他們，變亂他們的舌頭，因為我在城中見了強暴
爭競的事。
10 他們在城牆上晝夜繞行，在城內也有罪孽和奸惡。
11 邪惡在其中，欺壓和詭詐不離街市。

Chapter 55
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
7 I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;
8 I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm.”
9 Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,
for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls;
malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces are at work in the city;
threats and lies never leave its streets.
