W5 2013-08-02 (詩篇146-147)
146:1 
你們要讚美耶和華!我的心哪,你要讚美耶和華!

146:2 我一生要讚美耶和華!我還活的時候要歌頌我的 神!

146:3 你們不要倚靠君王,不要倚靠世人;他一點不能幫助。

146:4 他的氣一斷,就歸回塵土;他所打算的,當日就消滅了。

146:5 以雅各的 神為幫助、仰望耶和華他 神的,這人便為有福!

146:6 耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物;他守誠實,直到永遠。

146:7 他為受屈的伸冤,賜食物與飢餓的。耶和華釋放被囚的;

146:8 耶和華開了瞎子的眼睛;耶和華扶起被壓下的人。耶和華喜愛義人。

146:9 耶和華保護寄居的,扶持孤兒和寡婦,卻使惡人的道路彎曲。

146:10 耶和華要作王,直到永遠!錫安哪,你的 神要作王,直到萬代!你們要讚美耶和華!


默想: 詩人以「你們要讚美耶和華」為開頭,也以「哈利路亞」結束。就是要我們學習,讚美上帝,使我們的心得以向上帝敞開。詩人提醒我們不要倚靠這個世上有權勢的人,因為他們不可靠,更是暫時的。再有權勢的國王,也終有歸土的一天。
詩人提醒我們,上帝才是我們的保障與幫助,因為祂是創造天地的主,祂是守誠實,直到永遠的上帝。若我們真的要尋求依靠,千萬不要找一個短暫的倚靠,或是只能在今生幫助我們,在永生中卻幫不上忙的力量。詩人描述,上帝是看顧那些受屈、飢餓、被囚的人,祂幫助瞎眼、被欺壓的人,祂保護寄居、孤兒和寡婦。我們的上帝常常是站在弱勢的上帝,我們這些相信祂的人,千萬不要站在上帝的「對立面」,我們的心中要常常有弱勢者。當我們有能力的時候,不要忘記幫助那些真正弱勢的人。若我們自己本身就是弱勢者,我們也不用太悲觀,因為我們是在上帝的保守看顧之下。
讓我們感謝上帝,因為祂信實、施慈愛,並且作王到永遠,我們一起讚美耶和華吧!

題目: 根據詩篇146篇,耶和華特別關心照顧那些人呢?
