Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

139 O Lord, you have (A)searched me and known me!
You (B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you (C)discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, (D)you know it altogether.
You (E)hem me in, behind and before,
    and (F)lay your hand upon me.
(G)Such knowledge is (H)too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

(I)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where (J)shall I flee from your presence?
(K)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    (L)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall (M)lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, (N)“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
12 (O)even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

讚美耶和華無所不知

139 大衛的詩,交於伶長。

耶和華啊,你已經鑒察我,認識我。
我坐下,我起來,你都曉得,你從遠處知道我的意念。
我行路,我躺臥,你都細察,你也深知我一切所行的。
耶和華啊,我舌頭上的話,你沒有一句不知道的。
你在我前後環繞我,按手在我身上。
這樣的知識奇妙,是我不能測的;至高,是我不能及的。

無所不在

我往哪裡去躲避你的靈?我往哪裡逃躲避你的面?

我若升到天上,你在那裡;我若在陰間下榻,你也在那裡。
我若展開清晨的翅膀,飛到海極居住,
10 就是在那裡,你的手必引導我,你的右手也必扶持我。
11 我若說「黑暗必定遮蔽我,我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜」,
12 黑暗也不能遮蔽我使你不見,黑夜卻如白晝發亮,黑暗和光明在你看都是一樣。

Israel the Lord's Chosen

44 “But now hear, (A)O Jacob my servant,
    Israel whom I have chosen!
Thus says the Lord who made you,
    (B)who formed you from the womb and will help you:
(C)Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
    (D)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
(E)For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
    and my blessing on your descendants.
They shall spring up among the grass
    (F)like willows by flowing streams.
(G)This one will say, ‘I am the Lord's,’
    another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord's,’
    and name himself by the name of Israel.”

耶和華應許降福斯民

44 「我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的以色列啊,現在你當聽! 造做你,又從你出胎造就你,並要幫助你的耶和華如此說:『我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的耶書崙哪,不要害怕! 因為我要將水澆灌口渴的人,將河澆灌乾旱之地,我要將我的靈澆灌你的後裔,將我的福澆灌你的子孫。 他們要發生在草中,像溪水旁的柳樹。 這個要說「我是屬耶和華的」,那個要以雅各的名自稱,又一個要親手寫「歸耶和華的」[a],並自稱為以色列。』

Warning Against Neglecting Salvation

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since (A)the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and (B)every transgression or disobedience received a just (C)retribution, (D)how shall we escape if we (E)neglect such a great salvation? It was (F)declared at first by the Lord, and it was (G)attested to us (H)by those who heard, (I)while God also bore witness (J)by signs and wonders and various miracles and by (K)gifts of the Holy Spirit (L)distributed according to his will.

The Founder of Salvation

For it was not to angels that God subjected the world (M)to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere,

(N)“What is man, that you are mindful of him,
    or the son of man, that you care for him?
You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
    you have crowned him with glory and honor,[a]
    putting everything in subjection under his feet.”

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, (O)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him (P)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (Q)crowned with glory and honor (R)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (S)taste death (T)for everyone.

忽略主恩怎能逃罪

所以,我們當越發鄭重所聽見的道理,恐怕我們隨流失去。 那藉著天使所傳的話既是確定的,凡干犯悖逆的都受了該受的報應, 我們若忽略這麼大的救恩,怎能逃罪呢?這救恩起先是主親自講的,後來是聽見的人給我們證實了, 神又按自己的旨意,用神蹟、奇事和百般的異能並聖靈的恩賜,同他們作見證。

救人的元帥因受苦難得以完全

我們所說將來的世界,神原沒有交給天使管轄。 但有人在經上某處證明說:「人算什麼,你竟顧念他?世人算什麼,你竟眷顧他? 你叫他比天使微小一點[a],賜他榮耀、尊貴為冠冕,並將你手所造的都派他管理, 叫萬物都服在他的腳下。」既叫萬物都服他,就沒有剩下一樣不服他的。只是如今我們還不見萬物都服他, 唯獨見那成為比天使小一點的耶穌[b],因為受死的苦,就得了尊貴、榮耀為冠冕,叫他因著神的恩為人人嘗了死味。
