Psalm 119:49-56



求你記念向你僕人所應許的話,叫我有盼望。這話將我救活了。我在患難中,因此得安慰。驕傲的人甚侮慢我,我卻未曾偏離你的律法。耶和華啊,我記念你從古以來的典章,就得了安慰。我見惡人離棄你的律法,就怒氣發作,猶如火燒。我在世寄居,素來以你的律例為詩歌。耶和華啊,我夜間記念你的名,遵守你的律法。我 所 以 如 此,是因我守你的訓詞。 詩119:49-56


Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life. The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law. I remember your ancient laws, O LORD, and I find comfort in them. Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law. Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge. In the night I remember your name, O LORD, and I will keep your law. This has been my practice: I obey your precepts. Psalm 119:49-56

There's two verses in this passage that really encourages me.

Vs 50 My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.
In our suffering our comfort from God is His promise to us that he'll love and bless us.

Vs 51 The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law.
As Servant of God me would come to a point where we would be mock and unfairly treated by others, at that point what should we do? The author said that even at that situation he do not turn away from God's law...
