今天分享的是大衛王寫的詩篇第六十二篇，這裡的背景是當大衛王被群起圍攻推下王位時，他的眼目專注於那大有能力施行拯救的神，在這樣危難的時刻，他卻能安靜等候，仰望神；因為他心中有依靠有平安。我們的神，我們的主耶穌基督就是我們在危難中，使我們不被搖動的萬古磐石，也是我們心中那寶貝的奧祕，如哥林多後書四章7-9節所說的這樣，「我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裏，要顯明這莫大的能力是出於神，不是出於我們。 我們四面受敵，卻不被困住；心裏作難，卻不致失望； 遭逼迫，卻不被丟棄；打倒了，卻不致死亡。」
「我的心默默無聲，專等候神； 我的救恩是從祂而來 。
惟獨祂是我的磐石，我的拯救； 祂是我的高臺，我必不很動搖。
你們大家攻擊一人，把他毀壞， 如同毀壞歪斜的牆、將倒的壁，要到幾時呢？
他們彼此商議，專要從他的尊位上把他推下；
他們喜愛謊話，口雖祝福，心卻咒詛。
我的心哪，你當默默無聲，專等候神， 因為我的盼望是從祂而來 。
惟獨祂是我的磐石，我的拯救； 祂是我的高臺，我必不動搖。
我的拯救、我的榮耀都在乎神； 我力量的磐石、我的避難所都在乎神。
你們眾民當時時倚靠祂， 在祂面前傾心吐意； 神是我們的避難所。
下流人真是虛空； 上流人也是虛假；
放在天平裏就必浮起； 他們一共比空氣還輕。
不要仗勢欺人， 也不要因搶奪而驕傲； 若財寶加增，不要放在心上。
神說了一次、兩次，我都聽見： 就是能力都屬乎神。
主啊，慈愛也是屬乎祢， 因為祢照着各人所行的報應他。」
- 詩篇 62:1-12
My sharing today is Psalm 62 written by King David. The background here is that when King David was besieged and pushed down from his throne, his eyes were focused on the Lord who is mighty to save in such a crisis. He was able to wait quietly and to look up to the Lord, because he knew who he was depending on, and had peace in his heart. Our God, our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal rock that keeps us from being shaken when we are in danger. We have this precious treasure in our hearts, as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;”
“For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will all of you attack a man to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man according to his work.”
- Psalm 62:1-12 ESV
