第二十八章
1 耶和華啊，我要求告你；我的磐石啊，不要向我緘默；倘若你向
我閉口，我就如將死的人一樣。
2 我呼求你，向你至聖所舉手的時候，求你垂聽我懇求的聲音！
3 不要把我和惡人並作孽的一同除掉，他們與鄰舍說和平話，心裡卻是奸惡。
4 願你按著他們所做的，並他們所行的惡事待他們。願你照著他們
手所做的待他們，將他們所應得的報應加給他們。
5 他們既然不留心耶和華所行的和他手所做的，他就必毀壞他們，不建立他們。
6 耶和華是應當稱頌的，因為他聽了我懇求的聲音。
7 耶和華是我的力量，是我的盾牌，我心裡倚靠他，就得幫助；所
以我心中歡樂，我必用詩歌頌讚他！
8 耶和華是他百姓的力量，又是他受膏者得救的保障。
9 求你拯救你的百姓，賜福給你的產業，牧養他們，扶持他們，直
到永遠！
默想：
1.有時候，我們的禱告似乎像對著沉悶寂靜的天空無的放矢一般
的無效，神好像漠不關心，情願讓我們被惡人拖走。就在這樣
的時候，我們要記得的就是“耶和華是”。
2.大衛回想神是誰，他就能信靠神而得到幫助（7-8節）；外面
的情況並沒有改變，但是大衛的心中卻能有說不出來的喜樂而跳躍。
3.你什麼時候曾經像大衛這般的急切（1-5節）？或是像大衛那
般的有信心（6-7節）？再重新緩慢地讀幾遍這段詩篇，一面
讀，一面禱告；若有什麼字句吸引你的，就停駐下來，聆聽神
對你現在的處境，要向你說什麼？
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 28
1 To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who
speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what
their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his
hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and
he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his
anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and
carry them forever.
Meditation
1. There are times when our prayers seem futile, launched toward a
dull and silent heaven. God seems indifferent, willing to let us be
dragged away with the wicked. Even at times like these, we are to
remember that “the Lord is”.
2. As David remembered who God is, he was able to trust in Him to
receive help (vv7-8). The circumstances had not changed, but suddenly
David found his heart leaping with unexplained joy.
3. When have you been as desperate as David (vv1-5)? As confident
at David (vv6-7)? Read through this psalm a few times slowly.
Pray as you read it, pause when something phrase catches your attention.
Listen to what God is trying to speak to you about your
present situations.
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.
