50. 真誠敬拜
亞薩的詩
(2017.02.12.)
1 大能者神耶和華, The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
從日出之地到日落之處, speaks and summons the earth
發言呼召天下. from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
2 從全美錫安, From Zion, perfect in beauty,
神大發榮光. God shines forth.
3 我們的神來, 不是靜默無聲; Our God comes and will not be silent;
吞噬的烈火在衪前面, a fire devours before him,
怒吼的暴風環祂四週. and around him a tempest reges.
4 衪昭告天上地下, He summons the heavens above,
要審判衪的子民, and the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 說: "用祭物與我立約的聖民哪! "Gather to me my consecrated ones,
都到我這裏來聚集." who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 諸天宣示祂的公義, And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
神自己就是審判者. 細拉 for God himself is judge. Selah
7 我的民哪! 你們要聽, 我有話要說, "Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
以色列啊! 我要指控你們: O Isreal, and I will testify against you:
我是神, 是你們的神! I am God, your God.
8 我並不因你們的祭物 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
或常擺我面前的燔祭 or your burnt offerings,
毫無理由去責備你們. which are ever before me.
9 我不需你們牛棚裏的公牛, I have no need of a bull from your stall
也不要你們羊圈中的山羊. or of goats from your pens,
10 因樹林中的百獸是我的, for every animal of the forest is mine,
千山上的牲畜也是我的. and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 山中的飛鳥我都認識, I knoow every bird in the mountains,
野地的走獸也都屬我. and the creatures of the field are mine.
12 我若餓了不必告訴你, If I were hungry I would not tell you,
因世界和其中的一切都是我的. for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 我豈吃公牛的肉, Do I eat the flesh of bulls
喝山羊的血呢? or drink the blood of goats?
14 你們要向神獻感謝祭, Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
向至高者還你們的願. fufill your vows to the Most High,
15 在患難之日要呼求我, and call upon me in the day of trouble;
我就會拯救你們; I will deliver you,
你們也要尊崇我." and you will honor you."
16 但神對惡人說: But to the wicked, God says:
"你們怎敢援引我的律例, "What right have you to recite my laws
信口提到我的約呢? or take my covenant on your lips?
17 你們恨惡我的教導 You hate my instruction
把我的話拋諸腦後. and cast my words behind you.
18 你們見盜賊就樂與同夥, When you see a thief, you join with him;
遇上了淫棍就同流合污. you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 你們口出惡言, you use your mouth for evil
並且舌編謊話. and harness your tongue to deceit.
20 你們不斷毀謗你們的弟兄, You speak continually against your brother
甚至誣衊你們親娘的兒子. and slander your own mother's son.
21 你們作這些事我沉默不語; These things you have done and I kept silent;
你們就以為我跟你們一樣. you thought I was altogehter like you.
其實我要責備你們, But I will rebuke you
更要當面指責你們. and accuse you to your face.
22 忘記神的人哪! 你們要思考這些事, Consider this, you who forget God,
否則我把你們撕碎時, 無人來救. or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
23 凡向我獻感謝祭尊崇我, He who sacrifice thank offerings honors me,
並且真心預備行正路的, and he prepares the way
我就把神的救恩賜給他." so that I may show him the salvation of God."

(2017.02.04.)
1 耶和華啊! 我的心切慕你, As the deer pants for streams of water,
如鹿切慕溪水. so my soul pants for you, O Lord.
2 我心渴慕神, 渴想永生神; My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
我何時才能去朝見神呢? When can I go and meet with God?
3 當人整天對我說: My tears have been my food day and night,
"你的神在那裏呢?" while men say to me all day long,
我只好晝夜以淚當飯. "Where is your God?"
4 從前我隨眾人同去, These things I remember as I pour out my soul;
帶隊進入神的殿中, how I used to go with the multitude,
大家歡呼謝恩守節; leading the procession to the house of God,
言念此事心中戚然. with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
5 我的心哪! 你為何憂煩? Why are you downcast, O my soul?
為何在我裏面不安? Why so disturbed within me?
當仰望神, 我要讚美衪, put your hope in God,
衪是我的救主我的神. for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
6 我的心裏真憂煩; My soul is downcast within me;
所以我從約旦地, therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan,
從黑門嶺 米薩山紀念你. the heights of Hermon - from Mount Mizar.
7 在你隆隆瀑聲中深淵迴響; Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
你掀起猛浪洪濤橫掃我身. all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
8 白天, 耶和華向我施慈愛; By day the Lord directs his love,
黑夜, 衪的歌聲陪伴著我, at night his song is with me -
我要向賜我生命的神禱告. a prayer to the God of my life.
9 我向神我的磬石說: I say to God my Rock,
"你為甚麼忘記我呢? "Why have you forgotten me?
為何讓仇敵欺壓我, Why must I go about mourning,
使我四處奔走哀號?" oppressed by the enemy?"
10 我的敵人整天辱罵我: My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me,
"你的神在那裏呢?" saying to me all day long,
使我身心飽受痛苦煎熬. "Where is your God?"
11 我的心哪! 你為何憂煩? Why are you downcast, O my soul?
為何在我裏面不安? Why so disturbed within me?
當仰望神, 我要讚美衪, Put your hope in God,
衪是我的救主我的神. for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
欣逢主日, 感主恩, 讚主名,
仰望主, 親近主, 讚美主,
哈利路亞, 阿們!
43. 神領回國
(2017.02.05.)
1 神啊! 求你為我申冤, Vindicate me, O God,
向不敬虔的國為我申辯; and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
也求你救我脫離詭詐邪惡的人. rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 你是我的堡壘我的神, You are God my stronghold.
你為何要棄絕我呢? Why have you rejected me?
為何讓仇敵欺壓我, Why must I go about mourning,
使我四處奔走哀號? oppresssed by the enemy?
3 求你發出你的亮光和真理, Send forth your light and your truth,
好引導帶領我 let them guide me;
到你的聖山, let them bring me to your holy mountain,
到你的居所. to the place where you dwell.
4 我會走到神的祭壇, Then will I go to the altars fo God,
走到使我歡欣喜樂的神那裏; to God, my joy and my delight.
神啊! 我的神啊! I will praise you with the harp,
我要彈琴讚美你. O God, my God.
5 我的心哪! 你為何憂煩? Why are you downcast, O my soul?
為何在我裏面不安? Why so disturbed within me?
當仰望神, 我要讚美衪, Put your hope in God,
衪是我的救主我的神. for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

(2017.02.06.)
1 神啊! 我們都親耳聽見了; We have heard with our ears, O God;
我們列祖也告訴過我們, our fathers have told us what you did in their days,
你古時在他們的日子所行的事. in days long ago.
2 你親手把外邦趕出去, With your hand you drove out the nations
悉心栽培我們的列祖; and planted our fathers;
全力粉碎外邦 的民族, you crushed the peoples
使我們列祖興隆昌盛. and made our fathers flourish.
3 他們不是靠自己的刀劍得地, It was not by their sword that they won the land,
也不是靠自己的膀臂得勝; nor did their arm bring them victory;
全靠你的右手, 你的膀臂, it was your right hand, your arm,
和你臉上的亮光, and the light of your face,
因你愛他們. for you loved them.
4 你是我的王我的神! You are my king and my God,
你定命使雅各得勝. who decrees victorious for Jacob.
5 靠你我們擊退敵人, Through you we push back our enemies;
靠你的名踐踏仇敵. through your name we trample our foes.
6 我不信靠我的弓箭, I do not trust in my bow,
刀也不能使我得勝; my sword does not bring me victory;
7 你使我們戰勝敵人, But you give us victory over our enemies,
使我們的仇敵羞愧. you put our adversaries to shame.
8 我們終日因神誇耀, In God we make our boast all day long,
還要永遠讚美你名. 細拉 and we will praise your name forever. Selah
9 但如今你棄絕和屈辱我們, But now you have rejected and humbled us;
不再和我們大軍一同出征. you no longer go out with our armies.
10 你使我們在敵前敗退, You made us retreat before the enemy,
讓我們仇敵任意掠奪. and our adversaries have plundered us.
11 你放棄我們像被吞吃的羊, You gave us up to be devoured like sheep
並且把我們分散在列國中. and have scattered us among the nations.
12 你廉價出賣你的子民, You sold your people for a pittance,
在賤賣之中毫無所得. gaining nothing from their sale.
13 你使我們飽受鄰國羞辱, You have made us a reproach to our neighbors,
又被四圍的人輕視嘲笑. the scorn and derision of those around us.
14 更使我們成列國的笑柄, You have made us a byword among the nations;
民眾都向我們搖頭嘆息. the peoples shake their at us.
15 我的羞辱終日在我面前, My disgrace is before me all day long,
我的臉全都被羞愧遮蓋. and my face is covered with shame
16 都因受到斥責者的辱罵, at the taunts of those who reproach and vile me.
和仇敵對我報復的緣故. because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17 這一切都臨到我們, All this happened to us,
我們卻沒有忘記你, though we had not forgotten you
也沒有違背你的約. or been false to your covenant.
18 我們的心沒有倒退, Our hearts had not turned back;
我們的腳沒有偏離. our feet had not strayed from your path.
19 而你任由狐狼獵殺打擊我們, But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals
讓死亡的陰影深深籠罩我們. and covered us over with deep darkness.
20 倘若我們忘了神的名, If we had forgotten the name of our God
或張開手投向別的神. or spread out hands to a foreign god.
21 因神洞察人心的隱秘. Would not God have discovered it,
衪豈不會發現這事嗎? since he knows the secret of the heart?
22 為你我們終日面對死亡, Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
人視我們如同待宰的羊. we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 神啊! 求你醒起, 為何沉睡不醒? Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep?
求你起來! 不要永遠棄絕我們. Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
24 你為何掩面不顧我們, Why do you hide your face?
忘了我們的苦難壓迫? and forget our misery and oppression?
25 我們倒在塵土之上, We are brought down to the dust;
身體緊緊貼在地面. our bodies cling to the ground.
26 求你起來救助我們, Rise up and help us;
以你慈愛救贖我們! redeem us because of your unfailing love.

不必驚訝. when the splendor of his house increases;
17 因他死時甚麼都帶不走, for he will take nothing with him when he dies,
他的榮華也不能隨他去. his splendor will not descend with him.
18 他活著之日, 自認有福; Though while he lived he counted himself blessed -
興旺昌盛時, 人人誇讚. and men praise you when you peosper -
19 他要回到歷代列祖那裏, he will join the generation of his fathers,
永遠都看不見生命的光. who will never see the light of life.

3 我們的神來, 不是靜默無聲; Our God comes and will not be silent;
吞噬的烈火在衪前面, a fire devours before him,

4 衪昭告天上地下, He summons the heavens above,
要審判衪的子民, and the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 說: "用祭物與我立約的聖民哪! "Gather to me my consecrated ones,
都到我這裏來聚集." who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

18 你們見盜賊就樂與同夥, When you see a thief, you join with him;
遇上了淫棍就同流合污. you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 你們口出惡言, you use your mouth for evil
並且舌編謊話. and harness your tongue to deceit.
20 你們不斷毀謗你們的弟兄, You speak continually against your brother
甚至誣衊你們親娘的兒子. and slander your own mother's son.
21 你們作這些事我沉默不語; These things you have done and I kept silent;
你們就以為我跟你們一樣. you thought I was altogehter like you.
其實我要責備你們, But I will rebuke you
更要當面指責你們. and accuse you to your face.
22 忘記神的人哪! 你們要思考這些事, Consider this, you who forget God,
否則我把你們撕碎時, 無人來救. or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
23 凡向我獻感謝祭尊崇我, He who sacrifice thank offerings honors me,
並且真心預備行正路的, and he prepares the way
我就把神的救恩賜給他." so that I may show him the salvation of God."
