第 15 天 詩 48
可拉後裔的詩歌。
1 耶和華本為大！在我們神的城中，在他的聖山上，該受大讚美。
2 錫安山－大君王的城，在北面居高華美，為全地所喜悅。
3 神在其宮中，自顯為避難所。
4 看哪，眾王會合，一同經過。
5 他們見了這城就驚奇喪膽，急忙逃跑。
6 他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住，好像產難的婦人一樣。
7 神啊，你用東風打破他施的船隻。
8 我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中－就是我們神的城中－所看見的，正如我們所聽見的。神必堅立這城，直到永遠。（細拉）
9 神啊，我們在你的殿中想念你的慈愛。
10 神啊，你受的讚美正與你的名相稱，直到地極！你的右手滿了公義。
11 因你的判斷，錫安山應當歡喜，猶大的城邑應當快樂。
12 你們當周遊錫安，四圍旋繞，數點城樓，
13 細看她的外郭，察看她的宮殿，為要傳說到後代。
14 因為這神永永遠遠為我們的神；他必作我們引路的，直到死時。
Day 15 Psalm 48
1 Great is the Lord， and greatly to be praised in the city of our God，in His holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in elevation，the joy of the whole earth，is Mount Zion on the sides of the north，
The city of the great King.
3 God is in her palaces；He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold，the kings assembled，they passed by together.
5 They saw it，and so they marveled ; They were troubled，they hastened away.
6 Fear took hold of them there，and pain，as of a woman in birth pangs，
7 As when You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard，so we have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts，in the city of our God:
God will establish it forever. Selah
9 We have thought，O God，on Your lovingkindness，in the midst of Your temple.
10 According to Your name，O God，so is Your praise to the ends of the earth；
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice，let the daughters of Judah be glad，because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion，and go all around her. Count her towers；
13 Mark well her bulwarks；Consider her palaces；that you may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this is God，our God forever and ever；He will be our guide even to death.

「因為這神永永遠遠為們的神，祂必作我們引路的，直到死時」(v.14)，耶路撒冷之所以仍然屹立，猶太人之所以遭遇那麼多的災難仍未消亡，皆因有這位錫安永活的神。
錫安的神引領他們，帶領他們。有時神領他們經過太平盛世，有時領他們遭遇兵荒馬亂，甚至被擄。然而神沒有放
棄他們，仍然引領他們，錫安仍然屹立在那裡。這是神引導。
在我們個人而言，神也是這樣引領。正如詩篇廿三篇大衛所說的，神有時領我們走過青草地，到可安歇的水邊，但
有時又領我們到敵人面前，到死蔭谷。人生每個階段，每一小站都不同，但神必在那裡，與他們同在。神不會放棄我們，必引導我們直到最後一口氣。
各位弟兄姊妹，這樣的神，我們能不大大的讚美祂麼？
“For this is God, our God
forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.” (v.14). The reason why
Jerusalem still stands today and why the Jewish people remain after so much
persecution is because of the eternal God of Zion. The God of Zion has guided
them and led them. God has led them through times of peace, times of war,
and even through captivity. God has never abandoned them. Even now He still
leads them, and Zion stands. This is how God has guided His people.
This is is also how God guides you and me. In
Psalm 23, David writes that God sometimes leads us to green pastures and still
waters, but sometimes leads us to stand before our enemies or through the
valley of the shadow of death. In the journey of our life, we might
encounter different circumstances along the way, but we can be assured that God
will be there. God will not abandon us and will guide us until our last breath.
Brothers and sisters, this is God. How can we not praise Him to the
utmost?
