W5 2013-07-12 (詩篇116-118)
116:1 我愛耶和華，因為他聽了我的聲音和我的懇求。
116:2 他既向我側耳，我一生要求告他。
116:3 死亡的繩索纏繞我；陰間的痛苦抓住我；我遭遇患難愁苦。
116:4 那時，我便求告耶和華的名，說：耶和華啊，求你救我的靈魂！
116:5 耶和華有恩惠，有公義；我們的 神以憐憫為懷。
116:6 耶和華保護愚人；我落到卑微的地步，他救了我。
116:7 我的心哪！你要仍歸安樂，因為耶和華用厚恩待你。
116:8 主啊，你救我的命免了死亡，救我的眼免了流淚，救我的腳免了跌倒。
116:9 我要在耶和華面前行活人之路。
116:10 我因信，所以如此說話；我受了極大的困苦。
116:11 我曾急促地說：人都是說謊的！
116:12 我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所賜的一切厚恩？
116:13 我要舉起救恩的杯，稱揚耶和華的名。
116:14 我要在他眾民面前向耶和華還我的願。
116:15 在耶和華眼中，看聖民之死極為寶貴。
116:16 耶和華啊，我真是你的僕人；我是你的僕人，是你婢女的兒子。你已經解開我的綁索。
116:17 我要以感謝為祭獻給你，又要求告耶和華的名。
116:18 我要在他眾民面前，在耶和華殿的院內，在耶路撒冷當中，向耶和華還我的願。你們要讚美耶和華！
默想: 詩人在面對生命的難關時，因著上帝的保守看顧，而重新得力。所以用這首還願感恩的詩歌來表達對上帝的感恩。詩人在他的苦難中，經歷到了痛苦、患難，甚至他的生命也可能受到威脅，但沒有人可以依靠、幫助。所以詩人憤怒的說「人都是說謊的」。而雖然面對這麼嚴重的困難，詩人卻經驗到上帝是信實的上帝，是恩典的上帝，同時是患難中保護、拯救的上帝。所以他得以脫離苦難災害，再次的能來感謝神。他深深地感受到上帝是值得稱揚的上帝，他要以感謝為祭，在眾民面前，來向上帝獻上還願的祭。同時見證邀請眾們一起來讚美我們的神。
詩人的經歷，是否我們也曾發生過，當我們在困難時，我們常常會向上帝許願，我們是否忘記了向上帝所承諾的？求神幫助我們成為一個感恩的人，而是不是在苦難過後，就忘記了上帝的恩典。
