第十六章
1 神啊，求你保佑我，因為我投靠你。
2 我的心哪，你曾對耶和華說：“你是我的主，我的好處不在你以外。”
3 論到世上的聖民，他們又美又善，是我最喜悅的。
4 以別神代替耶和華的（註：或作“送禮物給別神的”），他們的
愁苦必加增；他們所澆奠的血我不獻上；我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。
5 耶和華是我的產業，是我杯中的分；我所得的，你為我持守。
6 用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處；我的產業實在美好。
7 我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華；我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。
8 我將耶和華常擺在我面前，因他在我右邊，我便不至搖動。
9 因此，我的心歡喜，我的靈（註：原文作“榮耀”）快樂，我的
肉身也要安然居住。
10 因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
11 你必將生命的道路指示我；在你面前有滿足的喜樂，在你右手
中有永遠的福樂。

默想：
1.這是一篇喜樂的詩篇，大衛歡喜的說：“你是我的主”；他知
道離了神，他什麼好處都沒有了（2節）；他並喜悅神的子民（3節）。

2.大衛因為神是他的產業而歡喜並得安慰，他也知道，他的產
業是非常好的（5-6節）；大衛述說將神擺在他前面的好處（
8節），這也給大衛的生命帶來喜樂與福樂（11節）。

3.從你過去一星期的作息表中來看，你所“喜悅”的是什麼？怎
樣將你的“喜悅”從其他事物，轉移到神身上？

Chapter 16
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones
in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not
pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have
a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart
instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will
rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the
dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in
your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Meditation
1. This is a psalm of joy. David delighted in the Lord as “my” Lord.
And he knew that without God he won’t have anything (v2). David
delighted in the people of God (v3).

2. David took joy and comfort in the fact that God was the portion of
his inheritance, and he knew that he had a good inheritance (vv5-6).
David described the benefits of setting the LORD always before
him (v8). This decision brought gladness and glory to David’s life (v11).

3. Judging from your appointment calendar this past week, what do
you “delight” in? How to turn your delight from other things to
God?

Prayer & Journaling:

第十五章

1 耶和華啊，誰能寄居你的帳幕？誰能住在你的聖山？
2 就是行為正直、做事公義、心裡說實話的人。
3 他不以舌頭讒謗人，不惡待朋友，也不隨夥毀謗鄰里。
4 他眼中藐視匪類，卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。他發了誓，雖然自
己吃虧，也不更改。
5 他不放債取利，不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人必永不動搖。

默想：
1 . 這首詩中， 大衛問了這個問題： 誰能來到神的面前？ 答
案： “ 就是行為正直、做事公義、心裡說實話的人” （2節）。

2.大衛描述一個生活在神面前的人；他與神的親密關係，是因為
他的心思、意念以及生命，都與神的心思、意念及神的生命同步調。

3.再次慢慢地讀這篇詩，以這首詩來衡量你自己的生命。有什麼
提醒，有什麼需要改正的？

4.最後以第五節下半節來向神頌讚、感恩。感謝神如此的應許，
並祈求神幫助你緊緊地與主“同行”。

Chapter 15

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your
holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will never be shaken.

Meditation
1. David presented a question: Who can come before God? It’s those
who “walk straight, act right, tell the truth”(v2, The Message).

2. David described the life that lives in the presence of God; who
walks in close fellowship with God because the heart, the mind,
and the life are all in step with the heart, mind, and life of God.

3. Read over the psalm and use it as a good checklist against which to
measure yourself. Any reminder, areas that need correction?

4. Celebrate it with the last verse: “He who does these things shall
never be moved”. Thank God for such a promise! And ask God to
help you “walk” closely with God.

第十四章

1 愚頑人心裡說：“沒有神。”他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的事；沒有一個人行善。
2 耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求神的沒有。
3 他們都偏離正路，一同變為污穢；並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有！
4 作孽的都沒有知識嗎？他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣，並不求告耶和華。
5 他們在那裡大大地害怕，因為神在義人的族類中。
6 你們叫困苦人的謀算變為羞辱，然而耶和華是他的避難所。
7 但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出，耶和華救回他被擄的子民。那時，雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。

 

默想：
1.希伯來文的愚頑人一詞，是指那些將心靈對神封鎖的人，他們
的生命充滿了邪惡、不道德。這正如保羅在羅馬書第一章的描
述：任何不承認神的人，都會在道德上愚頑、敗壞，作出邪惡
的事來。

2.當愚頑人對神說“不”時，他們其實是在說，他們比神知道的
更多，比神更有能力。因此，他們將自己隔絕在神所應許的豐
盛生命和祝福之外。

3.一個人所能作最愚蠢的事，就是把神隔絕在他生活之外。想
想，在你的親朋中，有什麼人是在躲避、否認神的？為他們禱
告，求神光照他們，能知道並經歷神對他們的愛。並求神幫助
你，成為這一事實的活見證。

Chapter 14
1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3 All have 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 the LORD.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Meditation
1. The Hebrew word for “fool” describes a person whose heart is
closed to God and whose life is characterized by gross immorality.
It reminds us of Paul’s teaching that anyone who does not acknowledge
God will become corrupt and does “vile” deeds (Rom 1).

2. When the fools say “No” to God, they are actually telling God that
they know better and are more powerful than God. Thus, they are
cutting themselves off from the abundant life and blessings God
intends to give them.

3. The most stupid thing a person can do is to keep God outside of his
life. Think those in your family and friends who are avoiding or
denying God. Pray for them that God will enlighten them to know
and experience God’s love for them. Ask that God will make you a
living testimony to this truth.

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

第十三章

1 耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢？
2 我心裡籌算，終日愁苦要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我要到幾時呢？
3 耶和華我的神啊，求你看顧我，應允我，使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死；
4 免得我的仇敵說：“我勝了他”；免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。
5 但我倚靠你的慈愛，我的心因你的救恩快樂。
6 我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。

默想：
1.慢慢地讀這首詩，你對於詩人向神的呼求，是否心有戚戚焉之
感？自問一下：究竟我向神有什麼要求？深一層地省察這要求
的是否背後，是否有什麼更深層的渴望？

2.現在就你的渴望，想一個對你最有意義的神的名字。用這個神
的名字來為你的這項渴望來禱告。例如：大能的神，賜給我公
義；偉大的醫生，醫治我因……而得的創傷；慈愛的天父，赦
免我所犯……的罪。

3.這一天當中，不斷地以這個短句來禱告；到晚上，思想一下，
神在這一天中如何回應你的禱告，及你的渴望。

Chapter 13
1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sor
row in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I
will sleep in death, 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Meditation

1. Read this psalm slowly. Do you find similar feelings as you read
the psalmist’s cry for God’s attention? Pause and ask: “What am
I asking of God”? Identify your want or need from God. Look
closer to see what deeper desire might be behind it.

2. Now think of a name for God that is most meaningful to you with
respect to the desire just identified. Use this name of God in your
prayer for this desire. For example: Powerful God, give me justice;
Great physician, heal my hurts from …; Loving Father, forgive my sin of …

3. Throughout the day, pray your phrase as often as possible. At the
end of the day, think about how God responded to your desire.

Prayer & Journaling:

第十二章

1 耶和華啊，求你幫助！因虔誠人斷絕了，世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
2 人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
3 凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。
4 他們曾說：“我們必能以舌頭得勝，我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？”
5 耶和華說：“因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的歎息，我現在要起來，把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。”
6 耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
7 耶和華啊，你必保護他們，你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
8 下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。

 

默想：
1.這首詩所強調的是言語（人說的話、與神說的話）。大衛向神
哀嘆，“虔誠、信實的人在哪裡”？人們為達到個人的目的，
隨意說謊話、諂媚、詆毀、盡說對自己有利的話；欺壓窮苦的
人；他們狂傲地以為自己是通行無阻，連神也不可能阻擋他們。

 

2.相對地，神的應許卻是純淨的，毫無虛假和欺騙；神的話歷經
試驗，卻永遠不變，因為祂是信實的神。神也知道祂的兒女，
且要幫助他們、保護他們。

 

3.你是否曾經被謊言、虛偽所困擾、圍繞著？重新再讀這篇詩，
慢慢地讀，體會人的說話與神的言語有怎樣的分別？並再次對
神表明你對神的話語（聖經）的信靠。

Chapter 12
1 Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.
3 May the LORD silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
4 those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
5 “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise, ”
says the LORD. “I will protect them from those who malign them.”
6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a
crucible, like gold refined seven times.
7 You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,
8 who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.

Meditation
1. This psalm emphasizes words spoken by men vs. those spoken by
God. David lamented to God the disappearance of the godly and
the faithful. Every one lies, flatters, betrays and boasts; doing anything
that will advance their own benefit. They even plunder the
poor. They proudly think that they could do all that they wish and
God has no power to stop them.

2. In contrast, God’s promise is pure words without pretense and deceit.
God’s word has gone through trials and is never changed for
God is faithful. God also knows his children and desires to help
them and protect them.

3. Have you ever been troubled or surrounded by lies and pretense?
Read this psalm again slowly. Paying attention to men’s words and
God’s. Tell God your confidence in his word – the Bible.

第十一章
1 我是投靠耶和華，你們怎麼對我說：“你當像鳥飛往你的山去。
2 看哪，惡人彎弓，把箭搭在弦上，要在暗中射那心裡正直的人。
3 根基若毀壞，義人還能做甚麼呢？”
4 耶和華在他的聖殿裡，耶和華的寶座在天上，他的慧眼察看世人。
5 耶和華試驗義人；惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人，他心裡恨惡。
6 他要向惡人密佈網羅，有烈火、硫磺、熱風作他們杯中的分。
7 因為耶和華是公義的，他喜愛公義，正直人必得見他的面。

 

默想：
1.這首詩記載大衛的朋友，在大衛逃避掃羅王的逃亡時期對他作
的勸告；雖然好心，卻是出自無信心的建議。但是，大衛卻抬
頭仰望神，為要得到在試煉中對神不變的信心。他知道在危難
中最穩妥的地方，就是對神絕對的信靠。

 

2.你曾否覺得自己的“根基”被別人“毀壞”，感到“整個世界
都塌下來”，而你只想遠走高飛、逃避一切？

 

3.記得大衛的這篇禱告，“奔向神那裡，永遠比逃避神要安全得
多”。況且，惡人必要受到神的審判。

Chapter 11
1 In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the
strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love vio
lence, he hates with a passion.
6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.

Meditation
1. This psalm records well-intentioned, but faithless advice of David’s
friends when he was a fugitive from King Saul. David lifts his eyes
to the Lord to find faith in a time of testing. He knew the safest
place to stand was in radical trust in God.

2. Have you ever felt that your foundations were being destroyed and
you wanted to run away?

3. Remember, running to God is always safer than running away. Besides,
the wicked will surely receive God’s judgement.

第十章
12 耶和華啊，求你起來！神啊，求你舉手，不要忘記困苦人！
13 惡人為何輕慢神，心裡說“你必不追究”？
14 其實你已經觀看，因為奸惡毒害，你都看見了，為要以手施行
報應。無倚無靠的人把自己交託你，你向來是幫助孤兒的。
15 願你打斷惡人的膀臂；至於壞人，願你追究他的惡，直到淨盡。
16 耶和華永永遠遠為王，外邦人從他的地已經滅絕了。
17 耶和華啊，謙卑人的心願，你早已知道（註：原文作“聽
見”）；你必預備他們的心，也必側耳聽他們的祈求，
18 為要給孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤，使強橫的人不再威嚇他們。

默想：
1.這段經文描述困苦人的無助，使他轉而求告神。神聽見、必會
追究，並且要為受欺壓的伸冤。經文也提到，不公的事有時確
會發生，但是強橫的必要受到懲罰。

2.在苦難中的禱告，使我們更加親近神、更加容易明白祂的旨
意，並且也教導我們察覺周遭的許多需要。

3.你知道有什麼人正在困難或痛苦的當中嗎？為這個人禱告，並
且祈求神向你顯明，應當以哪些實際的行動來幫助他。

Chapter10
12 Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from
his land.
17 You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.

Meditation
1. This passage describes the helplessness of the victim which leads
him to turn to the Lord. God hears and responds to the victims and
will judge the wicked and to defend the oppressed. The passage
also recognizes the fact that injustices may exist for a time. But the
people who persecute us will surely be punished.

2. Prayer in suffering brings us to God to understand his will, and it
also teaches us to care for the needy around us.

3. Do you know anyone who may be in trouble or suffering? Pray for
that person and pray for specific actions you may take to help that
person.

第九章
1 我要一心稱謝耶和華；我要傳揚你一切奇妙的作為！
2 我要因你歡喜快樂；至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名！
3 我的仇敵轉身退去的時候，他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。
4 因你已經為我伸冤，為我辨屈；你坐在寶座上，按公義審判。
5 你曾斥責外邦，你曾滅絕惡人，你曾塗抹他們的名，直到永永遠遠。
6 仇敵到了盡頭，他們被毀壞，直到永遠；你拆毀他們的城邑，連
他們的名號都歸於無有。
7 惟耶和華坐著為王，直到永遠！他已經為審判設擺他的寶座。
8 他要按公義審判世界，按正直判斷萬民。
9 耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高台，在患難的時候作高台。
10 耶和華啊，認識你名的人要倚靠你，因你沒有離棄尋求你的人。

默想：
1.大衛稱謝神，因為他知道神不單永遠為王，而且“他要按公義
審判世界，按正直判斷萬民”。這個認知使得受壓害及在愁苦
中的人，現在就可以找到庇護及希望。

2.相信神並不一定立刻改變我們的環境，但卻能改變我們自己！
我們在迫害的當中，能夠經歷交託後的平安，這就證明神是真
實的。

3.將你的愁苦和重擔，藉著信心交託給神，知道神掌權，並且祂
要審判，為我們申冤。

Chapter 9
1 I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,
sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.
7 The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of
trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Meditation
1. David celebrated the Lord, for he knew God not only reigns forever,
but “he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the
peoples with uprightness”. This enables a person who is oppressed
or in trouble to find refuge and hope now.

2. Trust in God may not change our circumstances, but it changes us!
The mere fact that we can experience peace despite persecution is
the most convincing evidence that God is real.

3. Bring your troubles and heartaches to God with full confidence that
God rules and he judges.

第八章
1 耶和華我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。
2 你因敵人的緣故，從嬰孩和吃奶的口中建立了能力，使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
3 我觀看你指頭所造的天，並你所陳設的月亮星宿，
4 便說，人算甚麼，你竟顧念他？世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？
5 你叫他比天使（註：或作“神”）微小一點，並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
6，7，8 你派他管理你手所造的，使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、田野
的獸、空中的鳥、海裡的魚，凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。
9 耶和華我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！

默想：
1.慢慢地讀這篇詩，一面讀，一面思想詩中所提的事物，他們彼
此之間的關連；例如：嬰孩的兒語，敵人或反對者的狡辯；浩
瀚穹蒼，渺小個人；創造主宰，日常生活，等等。

2.經過這樣的讀經與思想，你有什麼感想？將心中的感想告訴
神，結束時，與詩人一同由衷地稱讚神：耶和華我們的主啊，
你的名在全地何其美！

Chapter 8
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants, you have established a
strong hold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and
the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are
mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them
with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put every
thing under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the
wild,8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the
paths of the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Meditation
1. Read this passage aloud slowly. As you read, think of the things
and how they relate to each other in this psalm: babies babbling vs.
the antagonist words of enemies and foes; vast universe vs. tiny human;
the Creator vs. ordinary livelihood, etc.
2. What thoughts come to mind as you read and think of these things?
Tell God your thoughts and feelings. Close it by joining the psalmist
in praising God: “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name
in all the earth!”

2 恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我，甚至撕碎，無人搭救。
3 耶和華我的神啊，我若行了這事，若有罪孽在我手裡，
4 我若以惡報那與我交好的人，（連那無故與我為敵的，我也救了他。）
5 就任憑仇敵追趕我，直到追上，將我的性命踏在地下，使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。
6 耶和華啊，求你在怒中起來，挺身而立，抵擋我敵人的暴怒！求
你為我興起，你已經命定施行審判！
7 願眾民的會環繞你；願你從其上歸於高位！
8 耶和華向眾民施行審判。耶和華啊，求你按我的公義和我心中的純正判斷我。
9 願惡人的惡斷絕；願你堅立義人！因為公義的神察驗人的心腸肺腑。
10 神是我的盾牌，他拯救心裡正直的人。
11 神是公義的審判者，又是天天向惡人發怒的神。

默想：

1. 你是否曾有過被人誣告？或是莫名的侮辱、歧視和指責？你是怎樣申訴或求助？大衛是怎樣向神傾訴？
2. 你願意神來判斷你的公義和心中的純正嗎？為什麼？
3. 將你現在心中的想法、感受、心願，坦誠地與神對話，等候祂對你的回應。

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 7
1 LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2 or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands —
4 if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
6 Arise, LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8 Let the LORD judge the peoples.
Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous se
cure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
10 My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.

Meditation
1. Have you felt falsely accused? How did you appeal your case? Like David?
2. Would you want God to judge your righteousness or the integrity of your heart? Why?
3. Speak candidly to God your thoughts, emotions and desires at this
moment. Wait for God respond to you.

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
in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
