第二十四章
1 地和其中所充滿的,世界和住在其間的,都屬耶和華。
2 他把地建立在海上,安定在大水之上。
3 誰能登耶和華的山?誰能站在他的聖所?
4 就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。
5 他必蒙耶和華賜福,又蒙救他的神使他成義。
6 這是尋求耶和華的族類,是尋求你面的雅各。
7 眾城門哪,你們要抬起頭來!永久的門戶,你們要被舉起!那榮
耀的王將要進來。
8 榮耀的王是誰呢?就是有力有能的耶和華,在戰場上有能的耶和華。
9 眾城門哪,你們要抬起頭來!永久的門戶,你們要把頭抬起!那
榮耀的王將要進來!
10 榮耀的王是誰呢?萬軍之耶和華,他是榮耀的王!
默想:
1.想像你在一大群聖徒前往聖殿敬拜的行列中,當你讀這篇詩的
時候,你有怎樣的感情?你所看見的是怎樣的情景?
2.慢慢地讀,細細地揣摩,當時朝聖者的心情與態度是怎樣的?
3.這情形與你每個主日參加崇拜的心情與態度相比較,有什麼分別?
4.什麼樣的人可以進到神的聖殿中(3-6節)?這篇詩如何幫助
你更妥善地預備自己參加下個主日、以及以後的崇拜?
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 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who
live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on thewaters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his
holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an
idol or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD
mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty — he is the
King of glory.
Meditation
1. Imagine you are in the procession going up to the temple to worship.
As you read this psalm, what feelings and images evoked inyou?
2. Read it again slowly and try to grasp the emotions and attitudes of
fellow worshipers. What are they?
3. Compare it with your own emotions and attitudes of going to worship
each Sunday, what is the difference?
4. Who can enter God’s sanctuary (vv3-6)? How does this psalm help you
better prepared for worship this week and the weeks following?
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.
