義人呼求,耶和華聽見了,便救他們脫離一切患難。耶和華靠近傷心的人,拯救靈性痛悔的人。The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
(大衛的詩。)我要時時稱頌耶和華;讚美他的話必常在我口中。我的心必因耶和華誇耀;謙卑人聽見就要喜樂。你們和我當稱耶和華為大,一同高舉他的名。我曾尋求耶和華,他就應允我,救我脫離了一切的恐懼。凡仰望他的,便有光榮;他們的臉必不蒙羞。我這困苦人呼求,耶和華便垂聽,救我脫離一切患難。耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營,搭救他們。
你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味,便知道他是美善;投靠他的人有福了!耶和華的聖民哪,你們當敬畏他,因敬畏他的一無所缺。少壯獅子還缺食忍餓,但尋求耶和華的什麼好處都不缺。眾弟子啊,你們當來聽我的話!我要將敬畏耶和華的道教訓你們。有何人喜好存活,愛慕長壽,得享美福,就要禁止舌頭不出惡言,嘴唇不說詭詐的話。要離惡行善,尋求和睦,一心追趕。耶和華的眼目看顧義人;他的耳朵聽他們的呼求。耶和華向行惡的人變臉,要從世上除滅他們的名號。義人呼求,耶和華聽見了,便救他們脫離一切患難。耶和華靠近傷心的人,拯救靈性痛悔的人。義人多有苦難,但耶和華救他脫離這一切,又保全他一身的骨頭,連一根也不折斷。惡必害死惡人;恨惡義人的,必被定罪。耶和華救贖他僕人的靈魂;凡投靠他的,必不致定罪。
<A Psalm Of David>I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth. My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad. O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name. I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears. Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed. This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him. Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything. The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing. Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord. What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit. Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart. The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth. The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all. He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction. The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

今日 #主日詩篇 策展的是19世紀法國的自然主義畫家,朱爾·布勒東(法語:Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton, 1827-1906)於 1870年的作品《杜瓦訥內岩石上的旋轉物》(Spinner on the rocks in Douarnenez)。詩篇34是大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋,被他趕出去時所作的詩。不知為何,看到布勒東的這幅畫,一個孤獨年輕女子坐在海邊岩石上的背影,就聯想到大衛悲傷時依靠上帝的情境,讓人忍不住反覆地看這幅畫。
