第十六章
1 神啊，求你保佑我，因為我投靠你。
2 我的心哪，你曾對耶和華說：“你是我的主，我的好處不在你以外。”
3 論到世上的聖民，他們又美又善，是我最喜悅的。
4 以別神代替耶和華的（註：或作“送禮物給別神的”），他們的
愁苦必加增；他們所澆奠的血我不獻上；我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。
5 耶和華是我的產業，是我杯中的分；我所得的，你為我持守。
6 用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處；我的產業實在美好。
7 我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華；我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。
8 我將耶和華常擺在我面前，因他在我右邊，我便不至搖動。
9 因此，我的心歡喜，我的靈（註：原文作“榮耀”）快樂，我的
肉身也要安然居住。
10 因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
11 你必將生命的道路指示我；在你面前有滿足的喜樂，在你右手
中有永遠的福樂。
默想：
1.這是一篇喜樂的詩篇，大衛歡喜的說：“你是我的主”；他知
道離了神，他什麼好處都沒有了（2節）；他並喜悅神的子民（3節）。
2.大衛因為神是他的產業而歡喜並得安慰，他也知道，他的產
業是非常好的（5-6節）；大衛述說將神擺在他前面的好處（
8節），這也給大衛的生命帶來喜樂與福樂（11節）。
3.從你過去一星期的作息表中來看，你所“喜悅”的是什麼？怎
樣將你的“喜悅”從其他事物，轉移到神身上？
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 16
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones
in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not
pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have
a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart
instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will
rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the
dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in
your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Meditation
1. This is a psalm of joy. David delighted in the Lord as “my” Lord.
And he knew that without God he won’t have anything (v2). David
delighted in the people of God (v3).
2. David took joy and comfort in the fact that God was the portion of
his inheritance, and he knew that he had a good inheritance (vv5-6).
David described the benefits of setting the LORD always before
him (v8). This decision brought gladness and glory to David’s life (v11).
3. Judging from your appointment calendar this past week, what do
you “delight” in? How to turn your delight from other things to
God?
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.
