第二十二章
1 我的神，我的神！為甚麼離棄我？為甚麼遠離不救我，不聽我唉哼的言語？
2 我的神啊，我白日呼求，你不應允；夜間呼求，並不住聲。
3 但你是聖潔的，是用以色列的讚美為寶座的（註：“寶座”或作“居所”）。
4 我們的祖宗倚靠你；他們倚靠你，你便解救他們。
5 他們哀求你，便蒙解救；他們倚靠你，就不羞愧；
6 但我是蟲，不是人，被眾人羞辱，被百姓藐視。
7 凡看見我的都嗤笑我，他們撇嘴搖頭說：
8 “他把自己交託耶和華，耶和華可以救他吧！耶和華既喜悅他，
可以搭救他吧！”
9 但你是叫我出母腹的，我在母懷裡，你就使我有倚靠的心。
10 我自出母胎就被交在你手裡，從我母親生我，你就是我的神。
11 求你不要遠離我，因為急難臨近了，沒有人幫助我。
默想：
1.“我的神，我的神！為甚麼離棄我？”耶穌在十字架上最痛苦
的時候，引用了這句話（太27：46）；實際上，這也是大衛在
經歷諸多患難時對神的呼求。
2.耶穌在十字架上被神離棄，為了使我們能夠被神接納。神應許
我們“我絕不撇下你，也總不丟棄你”（來13：5）；又應許
祂會與我們同在，直到永遠（太28：20）。
3.不論你現在的境況如何，記住，神絕不會丟棄你的！只管像大
衛一樣向神呼求，並以感恩的心，靜候祂的回應。
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 22
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far
from saving me,so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find
no rest.
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.
4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered
them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not
put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8 “He trusts in the LORD,” they say, “let the LORD rescue him. Let him
deliver him, since he delights in him.”
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even
at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
Meditation
1. The opening words of this psalm: “My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me”, was quoted by Jesus on the cross (Matt 27:46).
This is also David’s cry to God during his many troubled times.
2. Jesus’ was forsaken on the cross so that we would be received by
God. Then God promised that “I will never leave you nor forsake
you”(Heb 13:5). God has also promised to be with us forever (Matt
28:20).
3. No matter what your circumstance is, remember: God will never
forsake you. Cry to God as David did, and wait patiently for his
response with a thankful heart.
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.
