上帝的美善

大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋,被趕出去後,作了此詩。

34 我要常常稱頌耶和華,
時刻讚美祂。
我要誇耀祂的作為,
困苦人聽見必歡欣。
讓我們一同頌讚祂的偉大,
尊崇祂的名!
我向祂禱告,祂便應允我,
救我脫離一切恐懼。
凡仰望祂的必有榮光,
不致蒙羞。
我這可憐的人向祂呼求,
祂就垂聽,
救我脫離一切困境。
祂的天使必四面保護敬畏祂的人,拯救他們。
你們要親身體驗,
就知道耶和華的美善;
投靠祂的人有福了!
耶和華的聖民啊,
你們要敬畏祂,
因為敬畏祂的人一無所缺。
10 壯獅也會忍饑挨餓,
但尋求耶和華的人什麼福分都不缺。

11 孩子們啊,聽我說,
我要教導你們敬畏耶和華。
12 若有人熱愛生命,
渴望長壽和幸福,
13 就要舌頭不出惡言,
嘴唇不說詭詐的話。
14 要棄惡行善,
竭力追求和睦。
15 耶和華的眼睛看顧義人,
祂的耳朵垂聽他們的呼求。
16 耶和華嚴懲作惡之人,
從世上剷除他們。
17 義人向耶和華呼救,祂就垂聽,
拯救他們脫離一切患難。
18 祂安慰悲痛欲絕的人,
拯救心靈破碎的人。
19 義人也會遭遇許多患難,
但耶和華必拯救他,
20 保全他一身的骨頭,
連一根也不折斷。
21 惡人必遭惡報,
與義人為敵的必被定罪。
22 耶和華必救贖祂的僕人,
投靠祂的人必不被定罪。
