凝視者的獨白+

耶和華是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

他使我躺臥在青草地上，領我在可安歇的水邊。

He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

他使我的靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。

He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

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。

Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

在我敵人面前，你為我擺設筵席；你用油膏了我的頭，使我的福杯滿溢。

You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

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。

Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

　　這張照片，使我想起了詩篇23篇。大衛把上帝比喻作牧者，因為他本身是牧羊人的緣故，他知道牧者對羊的供應是完全且可靠的。現代，我們不也稱教會的拉比為牧師嗎？可能是都叫習慣了，反而忘記去思索字詞的意義，來吧！像牧羊人大衛一般順服虛己，把牧養的權柄交給神。
