第七十二章
1 神啊，求你將判斷的權柄賜給王，將公義賜給王的兒子。
2 他要按公義審判你的民，按公平審判你的困苦人。
3 大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。
4 他必為民中的困苦人伸冤，拯救窮乏之輩，壓碎那欺壓人的。
5 太陽還存，月亮還在，人要敬畏你，直到萬代。
6 他必降臨，像雨降在已割的草地上，如甘霖滋潤田地。
7 在他的日子，義人要發旺，大有平安，好像月亮長存。

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.這篇詩是指向“彌賽亞”，有一天，將有一位君王“他要按公
義審判你的民，按公平審判你的困苦人”。

4.你是否能夠很誠實地說，神是你的君王？若不能，為什麼？若
是，你的生命如何表現出神的統治？以神為王是什麼意思？

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 72
1 Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.
2 May he judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor.
5 May he endure as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.
6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

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. This psalm is regarded in Jewish and Christian tradition as “messianic”.
One day a coming King will “judge your people in righteousness”
and “defend the afflicted”.

4. Can you honestly say that God is your ruler? If not, who is? If so,
how does your life reveal God’s rule? What does it mean to have
God as King?

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.
