第二十章
1 願耶和華在你遭難的日子應允你；願名為雅各神的高舉你。
2 願他從聖所救助你，從錫安堅固你。
3 記念你的一切供獻，悅納你的燔祭。
4 將你心所願的賜給你，成就你的一切籌算。
5 我們要因你的救恩誇勝，要奉我們神的名豎立旌旗。願耶和華成
就你一切所求的。
6 現在我知道耶和華救護他的受膏者，必從他的聖天上應允他，用
右手的能力救護他。
7 有人靠車，有人靠馬，但我們要提到耶和華我們神的名。
8 他們都屈身仆倒；我們卻起來，立得正直。
9 求耶和華施行拯救；我們呼求的時候，願王應允我們！

默想：
1.大衛信靠神，不依靠車馬，因為他知道一切的救恩、祝福都是
從神而來的。我們同有大衛的信心，在為別人禱告的時候，也
當有這樣祝福的禱告。

2.在你的親朋當中，是否有人特別需要這篇詩的祝福禱告。就
以此詩來為他/她禱告，你可以用自己的話來重述這篇詩的禱
詞。也可以將你的禱詞寫下，並寄給這位親朋，讓他知道你在
為他作這樣的禱告。

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 20
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the
name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers
him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of
the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call!

Meditation
1. David’s trust in God rather than chariots (v7) is expressed in his
conviction that blessing comes from God. We who share David’s
belief will express our best wishes for others in prayers like his.

2. Think of one person that may need this prayer. Pray this psalm for
that person. You may rephrase it to suit his/her situation. You may
also write it down and send a note to let him/her know you are praying
for him/her.

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.
