第二十五章
1 耶和華啊，我的心仰望你。
2 我的神啊，我素來倚靠你。求你不要叫我羞愧，不要叫我的仇敵向我誇勝。
3 凡等候你的必不羞愧；惟有那無故行奸詐的必要羞愧。
4 耶和華啊，求你將你的道指示我，將你的路教訓我！
5 求你以你的真理引導我，教訓我，因為你是救我的神，我終日等候你。
6 耶和華啊，求你記念你的憐憫和慈愛，因為這是亙古以來所常有的。
7 求你不要記念我幼年的罪愆和我的過犯。耶和華啊，求你因你的
恩惠，按你的慈愛記念我。
8 耶和華是良善正直的，所以他必指示罪人走正路。
9 他必按公平引領謙卑人，將他的道教訓他們。
10 凡遵守他的約和他法度的人，耶和華都以慈愛誠實待他。
11 耶和華啊，求你因你的名赦免我的罪，因為我的罪重大。
默想：
1.我們期望神怎樣拯救我們不致羞愧？神會將祂的道指示我們，
以祂的真理引導、教訓我們（4-5節）；神會赦免我們，使我
們脫離以往的罪過，使我們潔淨（6-7節）。
2.因為神是良善美好的，祂會引領正直的人（8-10節）；因為神
是恩慈的，祂甚至赦免我們極大的罪惡（11節）。我們的神何
等奇妙、偉大！
3.你目前最需要的是什麼：保護、引導、或是赦罪？你覺得你能
得到嗎？為什麼？把這件事告訴神，並等候神的回應；今天繼
續與神會話、交談。
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 25
1 In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
2 I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies
triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
4 Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good.
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
Meditation
1. What can we expect from God to deliver us from shame? We can
expect God to show us his way, guiding and teaching us by his truth
(vv4-5). We can expect God to forgive us, freeing us from the burden
of our past and purifying us (vv6-7).
2. Because God is good, he guides the humble into what is right (vv8-
10). Because he is gracious, he forgives even great iniquity (v11).
What a wonderful God we have.
3. What are you most in need of today: protection, guidance or forgiveness?
Do you feel you will receive it? Why or why not?
Speak to God about it and wait for God’s response. Continue this
conversation with God throughout the day.
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.
