第二章
1 外邦為甚麼爭鬧？萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事？
2 世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰一同商議，要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，
3 說：“我們要掙開他們的捆綁，脫去他們的繩索。”
4 那坐在天上的必發笑；主必嗤笑他們。
5 那時，他要在怒中責備他們，在烈怒中驚嚇他們，
6 說：“我已經立我的君在錫安我的聖山上了。”
7 受膏者說，我要傳聖旨：耶和華曾對我說：“你是我的兒子，我今日生你。
8 你求我，我就將列國賜你為基業，將地極賜你為田產。
9 你必用鐵杖打破他們，你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎。”
10 現在，你們君王應當省悟；你們世上的審判官該受管教！
11 當存畏懼事奉耶和華，又當存戰兢而快樂。
12 當以嘴親子，恐怕他發怒，你們便在道中滅亡，因為他的怒氣
快要發作。凡投靠他的，都是有福的。
默想：
1.這篇詩繼續第一篇的主題，就是我們在生命旅途上可以作的兩
個選擇，並邀請我們作明智的選擇：義人思念如何遵行神的道
路，惡人卻思想如何背抗神的主權及旨意。
2.我們常常會嘲笑一些荒繆的事，但是當我們揮動著無力的雙
拳，心中盤算如何頂撞神時，有什麼比這事更可笑的？事實
上，神的旨意是最奇妙的，祂的權威是無以比擬的！
3.在我的生活中，我在哪些方面需要面對這樣的抉擇：或是選擇
事奉神以得福；或是抗拒神到底，最終因神的震怒而消滅（
10-12節）？求神幫助我正確地選擇事奉祂，並一心跟隨祂到底。
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。
Chapter2
1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together
against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain. ”
7 I will proclaim the LORD’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.
8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces
like pottery. ”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your de
struction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who
take refuge in him.
Meditation
1. This psalm continues the theme of two ways that we can choose to
journey in life and inviting us to make a wise choice: the righteous
think about how to follow God’s ways while the others think about
how to rebel against God’s authority and purposes.
2. We often laugh at the absurd, and what could be more absurd than
waving our fists and plotting against God, whose purposes are wonderful
and whose authority is unrivaled? How silly can we get?
3. In what specific ways do I face the decision to choose between
serving the Lord, and resisting God to the end and be destroyed
in His wrath? What’s my choice? Ask God to help me choose to
serve Him and follow Him to the end.
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.
