125
耶和华子民的安全
上行之诗。
1 倚靠耶和华的人
好像锡安山，永不动摇。
2 众山怎样围绕耶路撒冷，
耶和华也照样围绕他的百姓，
从今时直到永远。
3 恶人的杖不常落在义人的分上，
免得义人伸手作恶。
4 耶和华啊，求你善待那些为善
和心里正直的人。
5 至于那偏行弯曲道路的人，
耶和华必使他和作恶的人一同出去受刑。
愿平安归于以色列！
Both gentleness and meekness are born of power, not weakness. There is a pseudo-gentleness that is effeminate, and there is a pseudo-meekness that is cowardly. But a Christian is to be gentle and meek because those are Godlike virtues… We should never be afraid, therefore, that the gentleness of the Spirit means weakness of character. It takes strength, God’s strength, to be truly gentle.
