第五十四章
1 神啊，求你以你的名救我，憑你的大能為我伸冤。
2 神啊，求你聽我的禱告，留心聽我口中的言語。
3 因為外人起來攻擊我，強暴人尋索我的命。他們眼中沒有神。
4 神是幫助我的，是扶持我命的。
5 他要報應我仇敵所行的惡，求你憑你的誠實滅絕他們。
6 我要把甘心祭獻給你；耶和華啊，我要稱讚你的名，這名本為美好。
7 他從一切的急難中把我救出來，我的眼睛也看見了我仇敵遭報。
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？
3.被朋友出賣是很痛苦的事，若是遇到這樣的事，大衛使我們的
好的榜樣。你曾經在什麼情況下被親近的人出賣？當時你的反
應如何？若是又遇見類似這樣的情況，這篇詩篇如何幫助你來
面對？
4.心中不要老是停留在“被出賣”這事上，讓神來處理應有的處
罰。學習大衛將心中想要傷害或報復的思想都交出來給神，他
就能稱讚神，並想起過去神“從一切的急難中把我救出來”的
經歷。新約裡，耶穌教導我們要為那些逼迫我們的人禱告。當
我們為別人禱告時——甚至為我們的仇敵禱告時——就會使我
們的心對準神的心，而因為神就是愛，當我們為別人禱告的時
候，我們對他們的愛也會增長。聆聽聖靈在你心中對你所說的
話，祈求聖靈將一些曾經傷害過你的人之面孔顯示給你看，並
求聖靈幫助你不單饒恕他們，還能以神的愛去愛他們。
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 54
1 Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
people without regard for God.
4 Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
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. It’s especially painful when a friend turns against us. When that
happens we would be wise to follow David’s lead. When did you
experience betrayal by someone close to you? How did you react?
How would this psalm help you to face it now?
4. Don’t dwell on the betrayal. Let God mete out any appropriate
punishment. Released from any thoughts of hurt or revenge, David
praised God, and remembered how the Lord “delivered me from
all my troubles”. In the NT, Jesus teachers us to pray for those who
persecute us. Out of prayer for others—even our enemies—comes
an alignment with God’s heart, and because God is love, as we pray
for others we will grow in our love for them. Listen to the Holy
Spirit, and ask him to give you the faces of some people who have
hurt you and who you need to not only forgive, but to love.
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.
