Day 21
Psalm 147:1-10
1.
Praise the Lord!For it is good
to sing praises to our God;For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.2 The
Lord builds up Jerusalem;He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.3 He heals
the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.4 He counts the number of the
stars;He calls them all by name.5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;His
understanding is infinite.6 The Lord lifts up the humble;He casts the wicked
down to the ground.7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;Sing praises on the
harp to our God,8 Who covers the heavens with clouds,Who prepares rain for the
earth,Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.9 He gives to the beast its
food,And to the young ravens that cry.10 He does not delight in the strength of
the horse;He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
The poet calls us to praise the Lord, for all praises are pleasant
and beautiful. He is the Creator that counts the stars and calls them all by
name, and we can't imagine His understanding. However, the Lord God Most High
and Creator of all, is God Who has grace and mercy for the Israel, Who gathers
together their outcasts, heals, binds up and comforts them. He is also the
loving God that prepares rain for the earth and provides abundantly to all
creatures.
Hallelujah... "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has
visited and redeemed His people," (Luke 1:68). Brothers and Sisters, the
God of Israel is also our God! When we go went astray like sheep, He brings us
home; when we are in sickness and suffering, He heals, comforts us with Love,
and goes through the valley of the shadow of death with us. Therefore, praise
Him with spirit and truth, psalms and hymns, and the timbrel and dance! Jesus
said, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would
immediately cry out." (Luke 19:40)
第21天
詩147:1-10
1你們要讚美耶和華！因歌頌我們的神為善為美，讚美的話是合宜的。2 耶和華建造耶路撒冷，聚集以色列中被趕散的人。3 他醫好傷心的人，裹好他們的傷處。4 他數點星宿的數目，一一稱它的名。5 我們的主為大，最有能力，他的智慧無法測度。6耶和華扶持謙卑人，將惡人傾覆於地。7 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱，用琴向我們的神歌頌。8 他用雲遮天，為地降雨，使草生長在山上。9 他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。10 他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。
詩人在這裡呼召我們讚美耶和華，任何讚美頌稱的話用在神身上都是合宜的。因祂是數點星宿又能一一稱它名的創造者，祂的智慧能力我們無法測度；然而這至高神、萬物的創造者，又是施恩憐憫以色列的神，使他們從被趕散中聚集，又醫治他們、裹好他們、安慰他們；祂又是降雨在地上厚賜百物慈愛的神。
哈利路亞…“主以色列的神，是應當稱頌的。因他眷顧他的百姓，為他們施行救贖。”
（路1：68）弟兄姊妹，以色列的神也是我們的神！當我們各人如羊走迷時祂將我們領回家，當我們落在疾病憂傷中時，祂在愛中醫治我們、安慰我們、陪伴我們走出死蔭的幽谷，所以我們當用心靈誠實、詩歌頌詞、擊鼓跳舞極力的讚美祂！耶穌說：“我告訴你們，若是他們閉口不說，這些石頭必要呼叫起來。”（路19：40）
