123
求主怜悯
上行之诗。
1 坐在天上的主啊，
我向你举目。
2 看哪，仆人的眼睛怎样望主人的手，
使女的眼睛怎样望主母的手，
我们的眼睛也照样望耶和华—我们的 神，
直到他怜悯我们。
3 耶和华啊，求你怜悯我们，怜悯我们！
因为我们被藐视，已到极处。
4 我们被那些安逸人的讥诮
和骄傲人的藐视，已到极处。
Sexual lust is definitely a sin and the catalyst for masturbating. But is the actual act itself, apart from lusting in the mind a sin? I believe the answer to that is yes. Masturbation is an aberrant form of sexual intercourse which is to be enjoyed by a married couple only. There is nothing in the Bible which gives approbation to celibate sex [by oneself].
