260靈修 Dec 14, 2012 詩篇 Psalms 54:1-7

第五十四章
1 神啊,求你以你的名救我,憑你的大能為我伸冤。
2 神啊,求你聽我的禱告,留心聽我口中的言語。
3 因為外人起來攻擊我,強暴人尋索我的命。他們眼中沒有神。
4 神是幫助我的,是扶持我命的。
5 他要報應我仇敵所行的惡,求你憑你的誠實滅絕他們。
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。

默想:
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.

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?

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.

Prayer & Journaling:

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:
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?

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
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?

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.

第五十二章
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。

關連 沒有?神想要你做什麼?

3.8節“至於我,我就像神殿中茂盛的橄欖樹一樣”(新譯本聖
經),“我就像上帝殿中的一棵橄欖樹,枝繁葉茂”(中文當
代聖經)。你是否在神的殿中“茂盛生長”?在你的靈程中還
缺少什麼?如何能幫助你的靈命“茂盛生長”?
你在教會及小組中能夠多做些什麼,使得你自己可以更加親
近神,也更加親近別人?

Chapter 52
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.

spiritual community? What helps you flourish? How can you offer
more of yourself in church, in your cell group, that you might grow
closer to God and to others as well?

第五十一章
1 神啊,求你按你的慈愛憐恤我,按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯!
2 求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡,並潔除我的罪!
3 因為我知道我的過犯,我的罪常在我面前。
4 我向你犯罪,惟獨得罪了你,在你眼前行了這惡,以致你責備我
的時候顯為公義;判斷我的時候顯為清正。
5 我是在罪孽裡生的,在我母親懷胎的時候就有了罪。
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
(註:“正直”或作“堅定”)。
11 不要丟棄我,使我離開你的面;不要從我收回你的聖靈。
12 求你使我仍得救恩之樂,賜我樂意的靈扶持我;

神認的現在就將這項罪告訴神,靜候,並經歷神赦罪之恩。

Chapter 51
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,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

3. As Christians, we know we are sinful. Why then is it so painful to
be confronted with a specific sin? What sin have you been avoiding
talking to God about? Take it to God and experience his forgiveness.

第五十章
7“我的民哪,你們當聽我的話;以色列啊,我要勸戒你。我是
神,是你的神!
8 我並不因你的祭物責備你,你的燔祭常在我面前。
9 我不從你家中取公牛,也不從你圈內取山羊。
10 因為樹林中的百獸是我的,千山上的牲畜也是我的。
11 山中的飛鳥,我都知道;野地的走獸也都屬我。
12 我若是飢餓,我不用告訴你,因為世界和其中所充滿的都是我的。
13 我豈吃公牛的肉呢?我豈喝山羊的血呢?
14 你們要以感謝為祭獻與神,又要向至高者還你的願,
15 並要在患難之日求告我,我必搭救你,你也要榮耀我。”

3.對你來說,你的感謝祭會是什麼?今天,試著對神在你生命中
所作的的一切工作,以禱告獻上讚美與感謝祭;並且今天試著

時刻與你同在,甚至在你不意識的時候,祂還是不斷地向你施
恩與慈愛。

7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel:
I am God, your God.
8 I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
9 I have no need of a bull from your stall
or of goats from your pens,
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
15 and call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

make your prayers an offering of praise and thanksgiving for God’s
work in your life, and try to go about today with a spirit of thankfulness
in your heart. Ask God to help you to see how he is continually
present with you in each moment, showing you love and grace even
if you are not aware.

第四十九章
5 在患難的日子,奸惡隨我腳跟,四面環繞我,我何必懼怕?
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
留給別人。
11他們心裡思想:他們的家室必永存,住宅必留到萬代;他們以自
己的名稱自己的地。
12但人居尊貴中不能長久,如同死亡的畜類一樣。

3.這首詩顯明生命是脆弱的,不論你積累了多少財富,你都不能
帶走;而且金錢也無法使你長生不死。

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

Chapter 49
5 Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
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;
they are like the beasts that perish.

3. This psalm shows that life is fragile. No matter how much wealth
you accumulate, you can’t take it with you. And no money can give
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

Chapter 48
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.

第四十六章
1 神是我們的避難所,是我們的力量,是我們在患難中隨時的幫助!
2 所以地雖改變,山雖搖動到海心,
3 其中的水雖匉訇翻騰,山雖因海漲而戰抖,我們也不害怕。
4 有一道河,這河的分汊,使神的城歡喜;這城就是至高者居住的聖所。
5 神在其中,城必不動搖;到天一亮,神必幫助這城。
6 外邦喧嚷,列國動搖。神發聲,地便熔化。
7 萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的神是我們的避難所!
8 你們來看耶和華的作為,看他使地怎樣荒涼。
9 他止息刀兵,直到地極;他折弓、斷槍,把戰車焚燒在火中。
10你們要休息,要知道我是神!我必在外邦中被尊崇,在遍地上
也被尊崇。
11 萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的神是我們的避難所。

Chapter 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the LORD has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

第四十五章
1 我心裡湧出美辭。我論到我為王做的事,我的舌頭是快手筆。
2 你比世人更美,在你嘴裡滿有恩惠,所以神賜福給你,直到永遠。
3 大能者啊,願你腰間佩刀,大有榮耀和威嚴!
4 為真理、謙卑、公義赫然坐車前往,無不得勝。你的右手必顯明
可畏的事。
5 你的箭鋒快,射中王敵之心,萬民仆倒在你以下。
6 神啊,你的寶座是永永遠遠的,你的國權是正直的。
7 你喜愛公義,恨惡罪惡,所以神,就是你的神,用喜樂油膏你,
勝過膏你的同伴。
8 你的衣服都有沒藥、沉香、肉桂的香氣,象牙宮中有絲弦樂器的
聲音,使你歡喜。
9 有君王的女兒在你尊貴婦女之中;王后佩戴俄斐金飾站在你右邊。

Chapter 45
1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2 You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed
with grace,since God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility
and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.
8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.
9 Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

3. This song celebrates the king’s wedding. The joy of the wedding
feast points us to the heavenly banquet awaiting Christ and his
church. It gives us a foretaste of the joy we will know when our
Lord returns.

4. Thank God that your heart has been “stirred by a noble theme”—
the promises of the King coming for his bride. Praise him for his
majesty and the overwhelming awe that you feel because you are in
the wedding (as you are in the church).
