(可拉後裔的訓誨詩,又是愛慕歌,交與伶長。調用百合花。)我心裡湧出美辭;我論到我為王做的事,我的舌頭是快手筆。你比世人更美;在你嘴裡滿有恩惠;所以神賜福給你,直到永遠。大能者啊,願你腰間佩刀,大有榮耀和威嚴!為真理、謙卑、公義赫然坐車前往,無不得勝;你的右手必顯明可畏的事。你的箭鋒快,射中王敵之心;萬民仆倒在你以下。神啊,你的寶座是永永遠遠的;你的國權是正直的。你喜愛公義,恨惡罪惡;所以神─就是你的神─用喜樂油膏你,勝過膏你的同伴。你的衣服都有沒藥、沉香、肉桂的香氣;象牙宮中有絲弦樂器的聲音使你歡喜。有君王的女兒在你尊貴婦女之中;王后佩戴俄斐金飾站在你右邊。
Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir. O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house; So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour. And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval. In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold. She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you. With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house. Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth. I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.

來到2024年最後一個主日,今年,千絲萬縷千頭萬緒,年末,只有簡單最單純的: 感謝神,我愛祢!能表達對上帝阿爸父,賜福給我們,直到永遠的感謝。因此選畫策展的是,義大利表現主義畫派亞美迪歐·莫迪利亞尼(Amedeo Modigliani,1884-1920)的極簡素描: 被譽為「俄羅斯詩歌的月亮」女詩人安娜·阿赫瑪托娃的肖像畫作(Anna Akhmatova,1911),就像畫作中幾筆簡單素描線條,卻能令人深刻注目無限感思。換言之,無論我們如何的左思右想萬縷千絲,也抵不過一個簡單的感恩禱告: 神賜福給我們直到永遠,2025年,亦如是,阿們!
