第二十五章
1耶和華啊，你是我的神，我要尊崇你，我要稱讚你的名！因為你
以忠信誠實行過奇妙的事，成就你古時所定的。
2你使城變為亂堆，使堅固城變為荒場，使外邦人宮殿的城不再為
城，永遠不再建造。3所以，剛強的民必榮耀你，強暴之國的城必
敬畏你。4因為當強暴人催逼人的時候，如同暴風直吹牆壁，你就
作貧窮人的保障，作困乏人急難中的保障，作躲暴風之處，作避
炎熱的陰涼。5你要壓制外邦人的喧嘩，好像乾燥地的熱氣下落；
禁止強暴人的凱歌，好像熱氣被雲影消化。6在這山上，萬軍之耶
和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席，用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘並澄清的陳
酒設擺筵席。7他又必在這山上除滅遮蓋萬民之物和遮蔽萬國蒙臉
的帕子。8他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的
眼淚，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因為這是耶和華說的。9到那
日，人必說：“看哪，這是我們的神，我們素來等候他，他必拯救
我們。這是耶和華，我們素來等候他，我們必因他的救恩歡喜快
樂。”10耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏，
好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。11他必在其中伸開手，好像洑水的
伸開手洑水一樣，但耶和華必使他的驕傲和他手所行的詭計一併敗
落。12耶和華使你城上的堅固高台傾倒，拆平，直到塵埃。
默想：
1.這是一首簡單的詩歌，述說被欺壓、剝削、困乏人的盼望。以
色列民因著仇敵的敗落、死亡被吞滅、神最後的勝利而歡喜。
2.回想你過去的經驗中，是否有一次在傾盆大雨中、暴風雪中，
或是其他艱難的環境中，你清楚知道神與你同在？
3.為著神在你生命中向你“行過奇妙的事”來禱告感謝神，或是
寫下你對神的歌頌。
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 LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in
perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long
ago.2 You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin,
the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore
strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere
you.4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their
distress,a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.For the breath
of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall 5 and like the heat of
the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the
shadow of a cloud,so the song of the ruthless is stilled.6 On this mountain
the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever.The
Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces;he will remove
his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.9 In that
day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved
us.This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his
salvation.”10 The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain; but Moab
will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it, as swimmers stretch out their
hands to swim.God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of
their hands.12 He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them
low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.
Meditation
1.This simple song expresses the hope of oppressed, exploited and
downtrodden people. Here we read of Israel’s joy at the downfall of
God’s enemies, the end of death itself and God’s final victory.
2.Recall an experience you have had in driving rain, a snowstorm or
some other tough situations in which you knew that God was present
with you.
3.Pray or write your own song of praise to God for the “wonderful
things” he has planned (v. 1) for your life.
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.
