我的心渴想神,就是永生神;我幾時得朝見神呢? I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?

(可拉後裔的訓誨詩,交與伶長。)神啊,我的心切慕你,如鹿切慕溪水。
我的心渴想神,就是永生神;我幾時得朝見神呢?
我晝夜以眼淚當飲食;人不住的對我說:你的神在那裡呢?
我從前與眾人同往,用歡呼稱讚的聲音領他們到神的殿裡,大家守節。我追想這些事,我的心極其悲傷。
我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裡面煩躁?應當仰望神,因他笑臉幫助我;我還要稱讚他。
詩篇 42:1-5 (和合本)
As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, “Where is this God of yours?” My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration! Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and
Psalms 42:1‭-‬5 NLT

耶利米書三十三1-11筆記




耶利米還囚在護衛兵的院內,耶和華的話第二次臨到他,說:「成事的耶和華,塑造它為要建立它的耶和華,名為耶和華的那位如此說:『你求告我,我就應允你,並將你所不知道、又大又隱密的事指示你。論到這城中的房屋和猶大君王的宮殿,就是拆毀來擋圍城工事和刀劍的,耶和華—以色列的 神如此說:他們與迦勒底人爭戰,用我在怒氣和憤怒中所殺之人的屍首塞滿這房屋;我因他們一切的惡,轉臉不顧這城。看哪,我要使這城得以痊癒安舒,我要醫治他們,將豐盛的平安與信實顯明給他們。我也要使猶大被擄的和以色列被擄的人歸回,並要建立他們,如起初一樣。我要洗淨他們干犯我的一切罪,赦免他們干犯我、違背我的一切罪。這城在地上萬國面前要因我的緣故,以喜樂得名,得頌讚,得榮耀,因為他們聽見我所賞賜的一切福樂。他們因我向這城所施的一切福樂平安,就懼怕戰兢。」
耶和華如此說:「你們論這地方,說是荒廢、無人、無牲畜之地,但在這荒涼、無人、無居民、無牲畜的猶大城鎮和耶路撒冷街上,必再聽見歡喜和快樂的聲音、新郎和新娘的聲音,並聽見有人說:
你們要稱謝萬軍之耶和華,
因耶和華本為善,
他的慈愛永遠長存!
他們奉感謝祭到耶和華的殿中;因為我必使這地被擄的人歸回,如起初一樣。這是耶和華說的。」
(耶利米書 33:1-11 和合本2010)

  • 歷史背景

王: 西底家第十年以後

囚在護衛兵的院內 (耶33:1)

被囚的原因: 耶利米預言說,耶和華如此說:我必將這城交在巴比倫王的手中,他必攻取這城。 猶大王西底家必不能逃脫迦勒底人的手,定要交在巴比倫王的手中,要口對口彼此說話,眼對眼彼此相看。巴比倫王必將西底家帶到巴比倫;西底家必住在那裡,直到我眷顧他的時候。你們雖與迦勒底人爭戰,卻不順利。這是耶和華說的。(耶32:3-5)

耶和華的話第二次臨到他(耶33:1)
第一次說話: 耶32:1 猶大王西底家第十年,就是尼布甲尼撒十八年,耶和華的話臨到耶利米。

當時耶路撒冷即將被攻破(耶32:2),猶大即將亡國,先知卻說:
耶32:27 我是耶和華,是凡有血氣者的神,豈有我難成的事嗎﹖
耶33:2 成就的是耶和華,造作、為要建立的也是耶和華;耶和華是他的名

參耶32,因神應許耶城雖被攻取,但至終歸回,人民會重新買地(耶32:43-:44)

又要立志作安靜人,辦自己的事,親手做工,正如我們從前所吩咐你們的 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

醫治病人,叫死人復活,叫長大痲瘋的潔淨,把鬼趕出去。你們白白地得來,也要白白地捨去。 腰袋裏不要帶金銀銅錢; 行路不要帶口袋;不要帶兩件褂子,也不要帶鞋和柺杖。因為工人得飲食是應當的。

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons.

Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.
