5:8 耶和華啊,求你因我的仇敵,憑你的公義引領我,使你的道路在我面前正直。
5:9 因為,他們的口中沒有誠實;他們的心裡滿有邪惡;他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓;他們用舌頭諂媚人。
5:10 上帝啊,求你定他們的罪!願他們因自己的計謀跌倒;願你在他們許多的過犯中把他們逐出,因為他們背叛了你。
5:11 凡投靠你的,願他們喜樂,時常歡呼,因為你護庇他們;又願那愛你名的人都靠你歡欣。
5:12 因為你必賜福與義人;耶和華啊,你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。

8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongues they tell lies.
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.

11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

義人和惡人的差異在哪裡呢?就是願不願意來投靠上帝,還是自以為是、自以為義!就像詩人說的:「凡投靠你的,願他們喜樂,時常歡呼,因為你護庇他們;又願那愛你名的人都靠你歡欣。因為你必賜福與義人;耶和華啊,你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。」
我們敬拜上帝,就是來信靠上帝,求上帝保護,四圍來護庇,如此我們的心才會真正快樂與滿足,正如詩篇73篇24-26節說:「你要以你的訓言引導我,以後必接我到榮耀裡。除你以外,在天上我有誰呢?除你以外,在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。我的肉體和我的心腸衰殘;但上帝是我心裡的力量,又是我的福分,直到永遠。」
是的,我們敬拜上帝的人,上帝透過祂的話用永遠的福分來安慰我們,「你要以你的訓言引導我,以後必接我到榮耀裡」。所以,禮拜中的講道,是非常重要,上帝透過話語的宣講來引導我們進入永生!
