W5 2013-07-05 (詩篇107)
107:1 你們要稱謝耶和華，因他本為善；他的慈愛永遠長存！
107:2 願耶和華的贖民說這話，就是他從敵人手中所救贖的，
107:3 從各地，從東從西，從南從北，所招聚來的。
107:4 他們在曠野荒地漂流，尋不見可住的城邑，
107:5 又飢又渴，心裡發昏。
107:6 於是，他們在苦難中哀求耶和華；他從他們的禍患中搭救他們，
107:7 又領他們行走直路，使他們往可居住的城邑。
107:8 但願人因耶和華的慈愛和他向人所行的奇事都稱讚他；
107:9 因他使心裡渴慕的人得以知足，使心裡飢餓的人得飽美物。
107:10 那些坐在黑暗中、死蔭裡的人被困苦和鐵鍊捆鎖，
107:11 是因他們違背 神的話語，藐視至高者的旨意。
107:12 所以，他用勞苦治服他們的心；他們仆倒，無人扶助。
107:13 於是，他們在苦難中哀求耶和華；他從他們的禍患中拯救他們。
107:14 他從黑暗中和死蔭裡領他們出來，折斷他們的綁索。
107:15 但願人因耶和華的慈愛和他向人所行的奇事都稱讚他；
默想: 詩篇107是一首感謝上帝拯救的詩，詩人感謝上帝在各種不同的情境下，上帝成為人們的拯救。包括一、曠野漂流，又飢又渴的人。二、遭受捆鎖仆到無助的人。三、疾病將死之人。四、行船中遇見風難的人。這些人在不同的狀況下，求助無門之際，他們禱告耶和華，上帝也成為他們的的拯救。這蒙恩獲救的人，一起來參加眾民聚集的大會，向百姓述說自己所曾經歷的遭遇，見證上帝大能的拯救，他們都發出聲音「但願人因耶和華的慈愛和他向人所行的奇事都稱讚他。」是的，我們每一個經歷過上帝恩典的人，都有一種深刻的感覺，就是期盼別人也能夠經歷、認識上帝的恩典，並且他們能夠與我們一樣一起來敬拜上帝。但願我們成為一個見證者，讓眾民從我們的身上得以看見上帝的作為。
