詩篇 147:1-11
1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 因歌頌我們的神為善為美；讚美的話是合宜的。 2 耶和華建造耶路撒冷， 聚集以色列中被趕散的人。 3 他醫好傷心的人， 裹好他們的傷處。 4 他數點星宿的數目， 一一稱他的名。 5 我們的主為大， 最有能力； 他的智慧無法測度。 6 耶和華扶持謙卑人， 將惡人傾覆於地。 7 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱， 用琴向我們的神歌頌。 8 他用雲遮天， 為地降雨， 使草生長在山上。 9 他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。 10 他不喜悅馬的力大， 不喜愛人的腿快。 11 耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。
Psalm 147:1-11
1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 6 The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God, 8 who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 9 He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens that cry. 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy.
How good it is to sing and how pleasant it is to pray from those who were rescued and healed by God. We were the outcasts, we were the brokenhearted. Christ is the savior and He is the physician. He heals us by His blood, His stripes, His wounds. Only He can cure the brokenhearted by His comforting words and His mighty power. When His word shines into our hearts, we have the true sense of sin, a godly sorrow and a sincere repentance before Him. Such are the ones to receive His healing. As a good Samaritan, He pours the oil and wine, the applying of grace and mercy.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me….
