W4 2013-06-20 (詩篇89)
89:1 （以斯拉人以探的訓誨詩。）我要歌唱耶和華的慈愛，直到永遠；我要用口將你的信實傳與萬代。
89:2 因我曾說：你的慈悲必建立到永遠；你的信實必堅立在天上。
89:3 我與我所揀選的人立了約，向我的僕人大衛起了誓：
89:4 我要建立你的後裔，直到永遠；要建立你的寶座，直到萬代。（細拉）
89:5 耶和華啊，諸天要稱讚你的奇事；在聖者的會中，要稱讚你的信實。
89:6 在天空誰能比耶和華呢？ 神的眾子中，誰能像耶和華呢？
89:7 他在聖者的會中，是大有威嚴的 神，比一切在他四圍的更可畏懼。
89:8 耶和華─萬軍之 神啊，哪一個大能者像你耶和華？你的信實是在你的四圍。
89:9 你管轄海的狂傲；波浪翻騰，你就使它平靜了。
89:10 你打碎了拉哈伯，似乎是已殺的人；你用有能的膀臂打散了你的仇敵。
89:11 天屬你，地也屬你；世界和其中所充滿的都為你所建立。
89:12 南北為你所創造；他泊和黑門都因你的名歡呼。
89:13 你有大能的膀臂；你的手有力，你的右手也高舉。
89:14 公義和公平是你寶座的根基；慈愛和誠實行在你前面。
默想: 當極大的苦難臨到時，我們已經別無選擇地來到上帝的面前時，你會如何呢？是立即祈求上帝的幫助，或是將自己所遭遇到的苦難、悲情向上帝訴說？甚至埋怨上帝為何沒有看顧拯救我們？
我們看到詩人很特別，他不是這樣。他是透過讚美禱告來親近上帝，因為從他過往所認識的上帝，他知道上帝是信實與慈愛的，他知道，在讚美中，他更能體驗到上帝的真實與永不改變。
是的，詩人的國家遭受極大的災難，但是，讓我們來敬拜上帝吧！上帝絕非不知道我們的苦難，也不是沒有能力幫助我們。這是詩人的相信。我們呢？當我們遇到苦難、挫折，我知道，那很真實、也很強烈。但是，莫忘了，苦難時，更容易把我們帶到上帝的面前，讓我們再次地回想上帝與我們的關係，經驗祂的大能，用信心來依靠祂。
