第五十一章
4我的百姓啊，要向我留心；我的國民哪，要向我側耳。因為訓誨
必從我而出；我必堅定我的公理為萬民之光。5我的公義臨近，我
的救恩發出，我的膀臂要審判萬民；海島都要等候我，倚賴我的膀
臂。6你們要向天舉目，觀看下地，因為天必像煙雲消散，地必如
衣服漸漸舊了，其上的居民也要如此死亡（註：“如此死亡”或
作“像蠓蟲死亡”）；惟有我的救恩永遠長存，我的公義也不廢
掉。7知道公義、將我訓誨存在心中的民，要聽我言！不要怕人的
辱罵，也不要因人的毀謗驚惶。8因為蛀蟲必咬他們，好像咬衣
服；蟲子必咬他們，如同咬羊羢。惟有我的公義永遠長存，我的
救恩直到萬代。”9耶和華的膀臂啊，興起！興起！以能力為衣穿
上，像古時的年日、上古的世代興起一樣。從前砍碎拉哈伯、刺透
大魚的，不是你嗎？10使海與深淵的水乾涸、使海的深處變為贖民
經過之路的，不是你嗎？11耶和華救贖的民必歸回，歌唱來到錫
安；永樂必歸到他們的頭上，他們必得著歡喜快樂，憂愁歎息盡都
逃避。
默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷
2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？當
你讀到這個字或詞句時，你有什麼感受？這與你的現況有什麼
關連 沒有？神想要你做什麼？
3.想像一下，若是你也在被擄流亡的人群中，當你明白神的應許
比天上的星、周圍的土地（6節）更加永恆不變，這對你這位
流亡人士有什麼意義？靜觀天、地，神的創造，再看你目前所
面對的問題，你會有怎樣嶄新的看法？
4.將你的新看法，連同你的問題，一併告訴神，並聆聽祂的回應。
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 51
4 “Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation:Instruction will go out
from me; my justice will become a light to the nations.5 My righteousness
draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way,and my arm will bring
justice to the nations.The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my
arm.6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath;the heavens
will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its
inhabitants die like flies.But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness
will never fail.7 “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people
who have taken my instruction to heart:Do not fear the reproach of mere
mortals or be terrified by their insults.8 For the moth will eat them up like
a garment; the worm will devour them like wool.But my righteousness
will last forever, my salvation through all generations.”9 Awake, awake,
arm of the LORD, clothe yourself with strength!Awake, as in days gone
by, as in generations of old.Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who
pierced that monster through?10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,who made a road in the depths of the sea so
that the redeemed might cross over?11 Those the LORD has rescued will
return.They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their
heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will
flee away.
Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase? How is that related to your current situation? What
does God tell you to do?
3. If you were an exile, what would it mean to you to realize that
God’s promises are more enduring than the stars or the earth around
you (v6)? How might meditating upon the lesson of the stars, creation
of God, give you a new perspective on the problems that you
face today?
4. Speak to God about your new perspective as well as your problems.
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.
