第二十一章
1 耶和華啊，王必因你的能力歡喜；因你的救恩，他的快樂何其大！
2 他心裡所願的，你已經賜給他；他嘴唇所求的，你未嘗不應允。
3 你以美福迎接他，把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。
4 他向你求壽，你便賜給他，就是日子長久，直到永遠。
5 他因你的救恩大有榮耀；你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。
6 你使他有洪福，直到永遠，又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。
7 王倚靠耶和華，因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。
8 你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵，你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。
9 你發怒的時候，要使他們如在炎熱的火爐中。耶和華要在他的震
怒中吞滅他們，那火要把他們燒盡了。
10 你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫（註：“子孫”原文作“果
子”），從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11 因為他們有意加害於你，他們想出計謀，卻不能做成。
12 你必使他們轉背逃跑，向他們的臉搭箭在弦。
13 耶和華啊，願你因自己的能力顯為至高！這樣，我們就唱詩歌
頌你的大能！
默想：
1.大衛在這篇詩中列出許多忠心跟隨神的人會得到的祝福：戰勝
（1節），心願得償、所求得應允（2節），美福迎接、戴上冠
冕（3節），永遠歲壽（4節），大有榮耀（5節），神面前有
歡喜（6節），不變慈愛（7節）。
2.常常數算紀念神為我們所作的，這是我們歡樂不止息的源頭。
3.將你從主從得的福氣一一列出來，仔細看一遍，並為這些祝福
逐一的感謝神。
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 21
1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How great is his joy in the
victories you give!
2 You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the
request of his lips.
3 You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure
gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—length of days, for ever
and ever.
5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed
on him splendor and majesty.
6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad
with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most
High he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize
your foes.
9 When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing
furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire
will consume them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from
mankind.
11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they
cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with
drawn bow.
13 Be exalted in your strength, LORD; we will sing and praise your
might.
Meditation
1. David lists the blessings of faithfully following after God in this
passage: the victories won (v1), desires granted (v2), prayers answered
(v2), presence welcomed (v3), crown given (v3), life – forever
and ever (v4), glory bestowed (v5), joy in God’s presence (v6),
unfailing love (v7).
2. Remembering what God has done for us is a continual source of
joy.
3. Make a list of the blessings you’ve received from God. Go through
the list and thank God for all of the blessings one by one.
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.
