第五十一章
1 神啊，求你按你的慈愛憐恤我，按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯！
2 求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡，並潔除我的罪！
3 因為我知道我的過犯，我的罪常在我面前。
4 我向你犯罪，惟獨得罪了你，在你眼前行了這惡，以致你責備我
的時候顯為公義；判斷我的時候顯為清正。
5 我是在罪孽裡生的，在我母親懷胎的時候就有了罪。
6 你所喜愛的是內裡誠實；你在我隱密處必使我得智慧。
7 求你用牛膝草潔淨我，我就乾淨；求你洗滌我，我就比雪更白。
8 求你使我得聽歡喜快樂的聲音，使你所壓傷的骨頭可以踴躍。
9 求你掩面不看我的罪，塗抹我一切的罪孽。
10神啊，求你為我造清潔的心，使我裡面重新有正直的靈
（註：“正直”或作“堅定”）。
11 不要丟棄我，使我離開你的面；不要從我收回你的聖靈。
12 求你使我仍得救恩之樂，賜我樂意的靈扶持我；
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.基督徒都知道自己是罪人，但是，為什麼我們仍然不容易接受
別人的指正或是坦然認罪？你有什麼罪到目前為止仍然不願向
神認的現在就將這項罪告訴神，靜候，並經歷神赦罪之恩。
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 51
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your
sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
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?
3. As Christians, we know we are sinful. Why then is it so painful to
be confronted with a specific sin? What sin have you been avoiding
talking to God about? Take it to God and experience his forgiveness.
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.
