SCRIPTURE READING 讀經

Psalm 23 詩篇二十三篇

大衛的詩。

¹ 耶和華是我的牧者,我必不致缺乏。

領我在可安歇的水邊。

�³ 他使我的靈魂甦醒,

為自己的名引導我走義路。

⁴ 我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,� 因為你與我同在;� 你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。

⁵ 在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席; � 你用油膏了我的頭,使我的杯滿溢。

⁶ 我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我; � 我且要住在耶和華的殿中,直到永遠。

1. The Pursuit 緊隨

1. 緊隨: 恩惠慈愛緊隨你的腳蹤

The Pursuit: Goodness and Mercy on Your Heels

「我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我…」

23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life

隨著 רָדַף radaph緊隨著

 通常,是仇敵在追迫:

「仇敵追趕我的靈魂」(詩篇7:5)。

「他們逼迫我」(詩篇31:15)。

「任他們追趕、擒拿他」(詩篇71:11)。

1. 緊隨: 恩惠慈愛緊隨你的腳蹤

The Pursuit: Goodness and Mercy on Your Heels

23:6 goodness and mercy「我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我…」

恩惠 טוֹב tov良善。

慈愛 חֶסֶד hesed堅定不移的約中之愛。

詩篇Psa109:21「主 耶和華啊,求你為你的名恩待我. 因你的慈愛(hesed)美好(tov)、求你搭救我。」 because your steadfast love (hesed) is good (tov), deliver me!“

💡恩惠與慈愛不是漂浮在宇宙中的抽象力量。 它們是神自己在西乃山所顯明的約中屬性。

Goodness and mercy are covenant attributes of God Himself, revealed at Sinai.

1. 緊隨: 恩惠慈愛緊隨你的腳蹤

The Pursuit: Goodness and Mercy on Your Heels

「耶和華在他面前宣告說:「耶和華,耶和華,是有憐憫有恩典的神,不輕易發怒,並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實,」

出埃及記 Exod 34:6

👉 神派恩惠與慈愛來緊隨你,�因為恩惠與慈愛正是祂自己的本性

God sends goodness and mercy after you because goodness and mercy are who He is.

⚠️ 祂用恩惠與慈愛緊隨你,�因為若祂不這樣做,祂自己的名就要蒙羞。

He pursues you with goodness and mercy because His own name is at stake if He did not.

2. The Certainty 確據

16 of 28

2. 確據:「必」其實是「只」

The Certainty: Why "Surely" Really Means "Only”

23:6 「我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我…」 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…

אַ֥ךְ ak只有 only。

👉 大衛活過漫長、艱難、複雜的人生。�回顧這一切,他卻說:唯一真正一直跟隨我的,�是神的恩惠與堅定的慈愛! David lived a long, hard, complicated life. And looking back over all of it, he says this: the only thing that has ever truly followed me is the goodness and steadfast love of God!

17 of 28

2. 追緊: 確據:「必」其實是「只

The Certainty: Why "Surely" Really Means "Only”

👍 你本為善、所行的也善」每一天,毫無例外。“You are good and do good”—every single day, without exception. 詩篇 Psa.119:68

🙏若你今天感受不到神的恩惠,抓住這一點:

你回頭看時,祂仍在那裡! If you cannot feel God's goodness

today, hold onto this: He will still be there when you look back!

「因為我深信無論是死、是生、是天使、是掌權的、是有能的、是現在的事、是將來的事、是高處的、是低處的、是別的受造之物、都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕.這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的」 。 羅馬書 Romans 8:38-39

2. 追緊: 確據:「必」其實是「只

The Certainty: Why "Surely" Really Means "Only”

🗣️歌唱神的恩惠,從來不意味著否認你的困境。

而是意味著相信神比你所有的困境都更大。

Singing about God's goodness has never meant denying your troubles.

It means believing God is bigger than every one of them.

3. The Homecoming 歸家

20 of 28

3. 歸家:漂流終於止息之處

The Homecoming: Where the Wandering Finally Ends

23:6「…我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。」 "…and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.“

יָשַׁב yashab: dwell.

  • 回到第4節,大衛停止談論關於耶和華,開始直接對祂說話:「你與我同在 」 Back in verse 4, David stopped talking about the Lord and started talking to Him. "You are with me."
  • 但在第6節,大衛退了一步。他回到用第三人稱談論關於耶和華:「我且要住在耶和華的殿中」 Here in verse 6, David returns to speaking about the Lord, in the third person.

21 of 28

23:6「…我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。」 "…and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.“

a. 難題 The Puzzle

  1. 它可能來自「回轉」這個字: 大衛期待自己不斷回到神的殿中敬拜. "return"—David expects to keep coming back to worship at God's house.
  2. 也可能來自「安居」這個字: 大衛期待永久遷入. Or “dwell"—David expects to move in permanently.

🏚️ 神自己的家,正是這篇詩一直帶領我們前往的地方God's own house is where this psalm has been walking us all along.

22 of 28

23:6「…我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。」 �"…and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

🏚️ 「耶和華的殿」是聖殿的用語:

“House of the LORD" is temple language:

⛪ ︎ 它單純指神同在所安居、安定之處。大衛不是在預言一座建築物。他指的是每個帳棚、每個會幕、每個聖殿所指向的目標:無阻礙地來到神的面前。

A settled place, wherever God's presence dwells. David is naming what every tent, every tabernacle, every temple was always pointing toward: unhindered access to God's presence.

23 of 28

23:6「…我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。」 �"…and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.“

b. 祈求 The Prayer

「有一件事、我曾求耶和華、我仍要尋求.就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中、瞻仰他的榮美、在他的殿裏求問」

"One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple." Psalm 詩篇 27:4

* 「一生一世」= 與詩篇23:6中的「直到永遠」,時間的跨度是一樣的. 時間軸從未改變. "All the days of my life" =the same span of time as "forever" in Psalm 23:6. The timeline never changes.

24 of 28

23:6「…我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。」 �"…and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.“

c. 祭司 The Priest

在以色列的敬拜體系中,居住在神的家中,只屬於一個群體:祭司. In Israel's worship, dwelling inside God's house belonged to one group alone: the priests.

  • 大衛是牧人出身的君王,不是祭司。 David was a shepherd-king, not a priest.
  • 他聲稱自己擁有與神親近的權利。這是個以往唯有祭司才可擁有的權利。He claims a nearness to God only a priest was ever permitted—claims it for himself.

25 of 28

聖經中神每一個居住之處,都指向比大衛所知的任何建築物更大的東西:神自己Every dwelling place of God across Scripture has pointed toward something larger than any building David ever knew: God himself.

“我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說、看哪、神的帳幕在人間.他要與人同住、他們要作他的子民.神要親自與他們同在、作他們的神.” Revelation 啟示錄21:3

“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

📖 漂流從來不是故事的重點。歸家才是重點。

而主人自己,就是那個家。The wandering was never the point of the story. Our homecoming was the point. And the Host Himself is the home.

GOSPEL CONNECTION 與福音相連

「在我父的家裏有許多住處;若是沒有,我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。我若去為你們預備了地方,就必再來接你們到我那裏去,我在哪裏,叫你們也在那裏。」

約翰福音John 14:2-3

🙏那位在筵席上款待我們的牧人: 祂正在預備一個地址。祂已經先我們一步,進入祂父的家,確認那間刻著我們名字的房間已經預備妥當。

The Shepherd is preparing an address. He has gone ahead of us, into His Father's house, to make sure the room bearing our name is ready.

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION 反思問題

  1. 當你回顧自己的人生 — 幽谷或草場 — 你能否看見神的恩惠與堅定的慈愛一直在追緊你?這對你今天的信心有什麼影響? When you look back over your life—valleys as much as pastures—can you see the goodness and steadfast love of God in pursuit of you?

2. 你目前生命中,有什麼看起來像是恩惠與慈愛的相反?這週把它帶到主面前。求祂開你的眼睛,看見祂的慈愛,即使在黑暗中依然存在。 What in your life right now feels like the opposite of goodness and mercy? Bring it to the Lord this week.

3. 詩篇23篇的最後一個字是「永遠」。你永恆家鄉的確據,如何改變你承擔今日的掙扎? How does the certainty of your eternal home change how you carry today's struggles?
