第三十七章
1 不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要向那行不義的生出嫉妒。
2 因為他們如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。
3 你當倚靠耶和華而行善，住在地上，以他的信實為糧；
4 又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。
5 當將你的事交託耶和華，並倚靠他，他就必成全。
6 他要使你的公義如光發出，使你的公平明如正午。
7 你當默然倚靠耶和華，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通達的和那惡
謀成就的心懷不平。
8 當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒；不要心懷不平，以致作惡。
9 因為作惡的必被剪除，惟有等候耶和華的必承受地土。
10 還有片時，惡人要歸於無有。你就是細察他的住處，也要歸於無有。
11 但謙卑人必承受地土，以豐盛的平安為樂。
默想：
1.我們常常會以為“多行善事必會昌盛，漠視上帝終必敗壞”。
但是事實往往並非如此，以致我們懷疑，為何好事總是發生在
壞人身上。詩人說，不要擔心，神遲早會審判、刑罰的。
2.在遇到惡人發達時，我們不應焦慮，而要信靠神，甚至“要以
耶和華為樂”，因他會保護並供應“你心裡所求的”。
3.你心中暗地裡是否對某一位作惡又暫享福樂的人，有心懷不平
的感受？這表示你對神有怎樣的看法？你人生的聚焦點是在今
生世上的成功，還是將財寶儲存在天上？和神對話，告訴神你
心中的感受。然後聆聽神如何對你回應。
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 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who
do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon
die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasq ture.
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your
vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when
people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret —it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the
LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for
them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
Meditation
1. 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.
2. Instead of fretting, we should trust, even “delight” in God who will
protect and provide generously for those who do.
3. 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?
4. Talk with God and tell him your emotions right now. Then listen to
God’s response.
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.
