生命的焦点



诗篇第90篇

90:1 (摩西的祈祷)主阿,你世世代代作我们的居所。
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

90:2 诸山未曾生出,地与世界你未曾造成,从亘古到永远,你是神。
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

90:3 你使人归于尘土,说,你们世人要归回。
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

90:4 在你看来,千年如已过的昨日,又如夜间的一更。
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

90:5 你教他们如水冲去。他们如睡一觉。早晨他们如生长的草。
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

90:6 早晨发芽生长,晚上割下枯干。
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7 我们因你的怒气而消灭,因你的忿怒而惊惶。
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

90:8 你将我们的罪孽摆在你面前,将我们的隐恶摆在你面光之中。
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

90:9 我们经过的日子,都在你震怒之下。我们度尽的年岁好像一声叹息。
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

90:10 我们一生的年日是七十岁。若是强壮可到八十岁。但其中所矜夸的,不过是劳苦愁烦。转眼成空,我们便如飞而去。
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

90:11 谁晓得你怒气的权势,谁按着你该受的敬畏晓得你的忿怒呢。
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

90:12 求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子,好叫我们得着智慧的心。
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

90:13 耶和华阿,我们要等到几时呢。求你转回,为你的仆人后悔。
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

90:14 求你使我们早早饱得你的慈爱,好叫我们一生一世欢呼喜乐。
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15 求你照着你使我们受苦的日子,和我们遭难的年岁,叫我们喜乐。
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

90:16 愿你的作为向你仆人显现。愿你的荣耀向他们子孙显明。
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

90:17 愿主我们神的荣美,归与我们身上。愿你坚立我们手所作的工。我们手所作的工,愿你坚立。
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.



人生在世的年日、生命是何等的短暂。人如果与神来比较,神确是永远长存。所以人应该时常数算自己在世的年日,好好规划自己的人生。不能稀里糊涂的好像睡梦一样的活着,应当赶快醒悟过来,过着敬畏神,远离恶事,讨神喜悦的生活。应当把自己有限的生命融入到神无限的永恒中去,要明白这才是人生的真谛。

我们的神是慈爱的神,他没有留下一样好处不给寻求他的人。我们所信靠的主,是全能的主,在他没有难成的事。我们所得着的圣灵,是我们的保惠师,他必引导我们过一个得胜的人生。

一个基督徒更应该不断的通过“学习、修正、清理、更新”来经营自己的人生,要依靠神来彻底改变自己的人生观和价值观,清除容易缠累我们的罪。人愈藐视神,就愈叫别人看出他的愚蠢来,所以,敬畏耶和华就是聪明,而敬畏神的秘诀就是远离恶事。我们常常默想主的大爱是对的,但我们也要记住神是日头,是公义的,我们应当存敬畏的心去敬虔度日。
