第四十八章
1 耶和華本為大！在我們神的城中，在他的聖山上，該受大讚美！
2 錫安山，大君王的城，在北面居高華美，為全地所喜悅。
3 神在其宮中自顯為避難所。
4 看哪，眾王會合，一同經過。
5 他們見了這城，就驚奇喪膽，急忙逃跑。
6 他們在那裡被戰兢疼痛抓住，好像產難的婦人一樣。
7 神啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。
8 我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中，就是我們神的城中所看見的，如我
們所聽見的。神必堅立這城，直到永遠！

默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？當
你讀到這個字或詞句時，你有什麼感受？這與你的現況有什麼
關連 沒有？神想要你做什麼？

3.當詩人走在耶路撒冷城牆上的時候，他所看見的不單只是由壯
觀的巨大石塊所堆砌成的城牆。這座神所揀選的城，代表神為
保護祂所愛的百姓，以祂的慈愛在歷史上所作的一切。在你生
命旅程中，你對神有什麼認識？你是否看到在你四面楚歌被困
圍城時，神如何引領你渡過難關？

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 48
1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
3 God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
4 When the kings joined forces,
when they advanced together,
5 they saw her and were astounded;
they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered by an east wind.
8 As we have heard,
so we have seen
in the city of the LORD Almighty,
in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
forever.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase? How is that related to your current situation? What
does God tell you to do?

3. As the psalmist walked the walls of ancient Jerusalem he saw more
than mighty stones. The city God had chosen represented all God’s
acts in history in loving and protecting his beloved people. How
do you see God in your life? How have you seen God guide you
through a crisis which threatened your “city” (your security or safety)?

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.
