56:1 (非利士人在迦特拿住大衛。那時,他作這金詩,交與伶長。調用遠方無聲鴿。)上帝啊,求你憐憫我,因為人要把我吞了,終日攻擊欺壓我。
56:2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了,因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。
56:3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。
56:4 我倚靠上帝,我要讚美他的話;我倚靠上帝,必不懼怕。血氣之輩能把我怎麼樣呢?
56:5 他們終日顛倒我的話;他們一切的心思都是要害我。
56:6 他們聚集,埋伏窺探我的腳蹤,等候要害我的命。
56:7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎?上帝啊,求你在怒中使眾民墮落!
56:8 我幾次流離,你都記數;求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裡。這不都記在你冊子上嗎?
56:9 我呼求的日子,我的仇敵都要轉身退後。上帝幫助我,這是我所知道的。
56:10 我倚靠上帝,我要讚美他的話;我倚靠耶和華,我要讚美他的話。
56:11 我倚靠上帝,必不懼怕。人能把我怎麼樣呢?
56:12 上帝啊,我向你所許的願在我身上;我要將感謝祭獻給你。
56:13 因為你救我的命脫離死亡。你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、使我在生命光中行在上帝面前嗎?
56:2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了,因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

1 Be
merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.

3 When
I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

5 All
day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8 Record
my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.

大衛對於上帝的話發出讚美,如經文所說:「我倚靠上帝,我要讚美他的話;我倚靠耶和華,我要讚美他的話。」
或許您會認為應該讚美的是上帝,怎麼會是上帝的話呢?其實上帝的話就是聖子,正如約翰福音1章1節所說:「太初有道,道與上帝同在,道就是上帝。」
這裡的「道」就是上帝的話,若照經文的敘述,上帝的話就是上帝本身。所以,讚美上帝的話就是讚美上帝!然而大衛為何要讚美上帝的話呢?因為上帝是透過祂的話來與人接觸,使人因上帝的話而更新,如同復活一般,正如大衛在這裡說的:「因為你救我的命脫離死亡。你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、使我在生命光中行在上帝面前嗎?」
也因為如此,鼓勵弟兄姊妹要大量讀經,用聆聽方式來讀聖經,求主幫助,讓我們都有受教者的耳朵,讓上帝的話深入我們的心裡,運行祂的大能大力,活出上帝兒女的樣式,並且切切盼望上帝國快快完全實現,讓我們真正享受永生福樂!
