4 主耶和華賜給了我一個受教者的舌頭，使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人；主每天清晨喚醒我，他每天清晨喚醒我的耳朵，使我能像受教者一樣靜聽。
5 主耶和華開啟了我的耳朵，我並沒有違抗，也沒有後退。
6 我把我的背給打我的人打，把我的腮頰給拔我鬍鬚的人拔；我並沒有掩面躲避人的羞辱和人的唾液。
7 但主耶和華必幫助我，所以我必不羞愧，因此我板著臉好像堅硬的燧石，我也知道我必不會蒙羞。
8 那稱我為義的，與我相近；誰與我爭訟呢？讓我們一同站起來吧！誰是指控我的？讓他就近我來。
9 看哪！主耶和華幫助我，誰能定我有罪呢？看哪！他們都要像衣服漸漸破舊，蛀蟲必把他們吃光。
誦讀：以敞開的心緩慢，柔和地讀，小心地聆聽一字一句，細細體味誦讀的每一部分。注意哪些字、句的部分是今天特別為自己的。
默想：在誦讀中，如果發現某一字或某一句對自己有個別意義，就要對這字或句子反覆思想；可能是感動，欣慰，難過等等。
禱告：然後跟神說話。和神互動時，就像你與愛你、接納你的人交往一樣。告訴神你在默想時，在内心深處的自我覺察和發現。
安歇：最後，安歇在神的愛內；在愛我的神的臨在中，我歡愉地安歇著，無論是對話，或是我無言寂靜地安歇著（詩篇131：2）。
筆錄：將心中的思想，剛才的體驗，或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

耶穌與門徒的逾越節筵席
4 The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.
5 The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears;
I have not been rebellious,
I have not turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.
7 Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me?
Let us face each other!
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
9 It is the Sovereign LORD who helps me.
Who will condemn me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
the moths will eat them up.
Read slowly and gently through the passage. Savor each portion of the reading, listening for the “still, small voice” of a word or phrase that somehow says, “I am for you today.”
TAKE in the word or phrase that touches you. Memorize it and slowly repeat it to yourself, allowing it to interact with your inner world of concerns, memories and ideas.
SPEAK to God. Interact with God as you would with one who loves and accepts you. And give to Him what you have discovered in reading and reflection.
REST in God. Rejoicing in the knowledge that God is with you in both words and silence, in spiritual activity and inner receptivity.
Journaling: Write down your experience, any thought, and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
