| 17 神啊， 祢的意念向我何等寶貴， 其數何等眾多！ 18 我若數點， 比海沙更多。 我睡醒的時候，仍和祢同在。 19 神啊，祢必要殺戮惡人， 所以你們好流人血的， 離開我去吧！ 20 因為他們說惡言頂撞祢， 祢的仇敵也妄稱祢的名。 21 耶和華啊，恨惡祢的， 我豈不恨惡他們嗎？ 攻擊祢的，我豈不憎嫌他們嗎？ 22 我切切地恨惡他們， 以他們為仇敵。 23 神啊，求祢鑒察我， 知道我的心思； 試煉我，知道我的意念， 24 看在我裏面有什麼惡行沒有， 引導我走永生的道路。 | 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. 19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. 20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. |

| 詩 Psalm 139:17-18a 神啊，祢的意念向我何等寶貴，其數何等眾多！我若數點，比海沙更多。 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand. | |
| 這段經文緊接著昨天那一段，共同組成完整的詩篇139篇。建議將全篇詩篇一起閱讀。 神是那麼的全知全在，祂已經鑒察我、認識我。與其逃避神的面（那是不可能的），詩人大衛明白神的意念何等寶貴，且其數眾多。既然在神的同在中，就要喜愛神所喜愛的，恨惡神所恨惡的。最後，詩人求神察驗自己是否還有隱而未現的罪，確保他在這條恆久不變的永生路上走得穩妥。讚美神，祂向我們懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災的意念；讚美神，祂讓我們以基督耶穌的心為心，以祂的眼看世界；讚美神，我們若認自己的罪，神是信實的，必要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們一切的不義；讚美神，耶穌就是道路、真理、生命，祂引導我們走永生的道路！ | This paragraph follows the one yesterday, together they form the complete Psalm 139. You are recommended to read the whole psalm together. God is so omniscient and omnipresent that He has searched me and known me. Instead of fleeing from His presence, which is impossible, the psalmist David understands how precious are God's thoughts, and how great is the sum of them. Being in God's presence necessitates loving what God loves, and hating what God hates. Lastly, the psalmist asked God to reveal if he still harbors any secret faults, in order to walk well in the way everlasting. Praise God, His thoughts toward us are thoughts of peace and not of evil; praise God, He let the mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus, and let us see the world through the eyes of Him; praise God, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness; praise God, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and He leads us in the way everlasting! |
