【诗128:1】凡敬畏耶和华、遵行他道的人便为有福！【Psa 128:1】Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.

诗篇 128 篇以极具画面感的笔触，描绘了古代以色列普通农夫的日常幸福——吃劳碌得来的饭、家庭和睦、子孙满堂。这是一幅在敬畏神之中，享受平静美满生活的安息画卷。Psalm 128 paints a vivid picture of the simple, daily happiness of an ordinary ancient Israelite farmer—enjoying the fruit of one’s labor, a peaceful household, and a thriving line of children and grandchildren. It is a portrait of rest and quiet contentment found in fearing God.

它告诉古时朝圣的百姓与今天的我们：人最大的祝福，往往不是惊天动的伟业，而是在敬畏神的日常里，享受全能者的庇护。It reminds the pilgrims of ancient times and us today that our greatest blessing is rarely found in extraordinary achievements, but in experiencing the Almighty’s shadow and shelter throughout the ordinary routine of a God-fearing life.

在战乱频频、灾荒常见且面临外邦压迫的旧约时代，能够“吃自己手所劳碌得来的”，不用担心战火袭扰田产与家园，能在神所赐的持久平安（Shalom）里享受天伦之乐，是何等宝贵、何等来之不易的恩典。In an Old Testament era marked by frequent warfare, droughts, and foreign oppression, being able to “eat the fruit of your labor,” free from the terror of war destroying one’s land and home and enjoying family warmth in God’s enduring peace (Shalom), was a precious and deeply treasured grace.

祷告 | Prayer

亲爱的阿爸父：Dear Abba Father, 感谢祢为父的慈爱柔软的心。当祢的民前去耶路撒冷朝见祢时，祢乐意让祭司祝福这些敬畏祢的百姓：“愿耶和华从锡安赐福给你！愿你一生一世看见耶路撒冷的好处！”Thank You for Your gentle, loving fatherly heart. When Your people journeyed to Jerusalem to appear before You, You gladly appointed the priests to pronounce blessings over them: "May the LORD bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life."

亲爱的天父，这些百姓就是我的榜样，他们不远万里，离开家乡、田地和家人，跋山涉水前往耶路撒冷朝圣敬拜。Dear Heavenly Father, these pilgrims stand as a compelling model for me. They left their homes, fields, and families behind to travel great distances over rugged mountains to worship You in Jerusalem. 在漫长清苦的旅途中，他们的心是爱祢的，愿意为耶路撒冷求平安，祢就祝福他们说，凡爱耶路撒冷的，必然兴旺。Through that long and arduous journey, their hearts burned with love for You and for the peace of Jerusalem, and You promised that those who love Jerusalem would prosper.

今天祢的教会与子民，就是祢的圣殿，就是祢所深深看顾的属灵耶路撒冷。Today, Your church and Your people are Your holy temple—the spiritual Jerusalem over which You deeply watch.

求祢赦免我过去常常沉溺在个人的小天地里，只求自己的安逸与满足；求祢拯救我脱离自私自利。Forgive me for so often isolating myself within my own little world, seeking only my personal comfort and self-satisfaction; save me from living a life centered solely on self-interest.

愿我的心跟祢合一，常常为祢的教会、为祢的子民祷告祈求：祈求祢的百姓敬畏祢，远离恶事，活在祢的平安和保护里；May my heart be united with Yours. Lead me to pray unceasingly for Your church and Your people: that Your children will fear You, turn away from evil, and abide under Your peace and protection. 愿祢的百姓常常看见祢教会兴旺，愿祢国度降临，被掳的得释放，被囚的出监牢，瞎眼的得看见，伤心的得医治。May we continually witness Your church flourishing; may Your Kingdom come, setting the captives free, opening the eyes of the blind, restoring the imprisoned, and healing the brokenhearted. 愿万国万民都敬畏祢，归向祢。May all nations fear You and turn back to You.

让我的家庭与生活，都以祢国度与使命为中心；使我在敬畏祢的日常中，与祢的众子民一同见证福音遍传、国度降临的荣耀！May my family and my daily life be anchored firmly around Your Kingdom and Your Great Commission; enable me, in a daily life of holy reverence, to stand alongside Your people to witness the gospel proclaimed everywhere and the ultimate glory of Your Kingdom come!

奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。In Jesus’ name, Amen.
