第十一章
1 我是投靠耶和華，你們怎麼對我說：“你當像鳥飛往你的山去。
2 看哪，惡人彎弓，把箭搭在弦上，要在暗中射那心裡正直的人。
3 根基若毀壞，義人還能做甚麼呢？”
4 耶和華在他的聖殿裡，耶和華的寶座在天上，他的慧眼察看世人。
5 耶和華試驗義人；惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人，他心裡恨惡。
6 他要向惡人密佈網羅，有烈火、硫磺、熱風作他們杯中的分。
7 因為耶和華是公義的，他喜愛公義，正直人必得見他的面。

 

默想：
1.這首詩記載大衛的朋友，在大衛逃避掃羅王的逃亡時期對他作
的勸告；雖然好心，卻是出自無信心的建議。但是，大衛卻抬
頭仰望神，為要得到在試煉中對神不變的信心。他知道在危難
中最穩妥的地方，就是對神絕對的信靠。

 

2.你曾否覺得自己的“根基”被別人“毀壞”，感到“整個世界
都塌下來”，而你只想遠走高飛、逃避一切？

 

3.記得大衛的這篇禱告，“奔向神那裡，永遠比逃避神要安全得
多”。況且，惡人必要受到神的審判。

 

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 11
1 In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the
strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love vio
lence, he hates with a passion.
6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.

Meditation
1. This psalm records well-intentioned, but faithless advice of David’s
friends when he was a fugitive from King Saul. David lifts his eyes
to the Lord to find faith in a time of testing. He knew the safest
place to stand was in radical trust in God.

2. Have you ever felt that your foundations were being destroyed and
you wanted to run away?

3. Remember, running to God is always safer than running away. Besides,
the wicked will surely receive God’s judgement.

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.
