“你管辖海的狂傲，波浪翻腾，你就使它平静了。” - 诗 89:9

历史记录中的最巨大的海浪是1958年7月9日在阿拉斯加州的利图亚湾发生的。一场地震和随之而来的山崩，带来高达超过100尺的巨型海啸。试想像一下，一道十层楼高的水墙向着你猛冲过来时，你会有什么感受。

诗人告诉我们，神管辖海的狂傲，衪管辖着它的每一种状态的运行。这篇诗篇是一首提醒神的子民关于神的一切大能奇妙作为的诗歌。它是以“我要歌唱耶和华的慈爱直到永远！”这句话开始的。诗人歌颂神管辖衪所创造的整个宇宙。

神在大海中彰显衪的伟大。试想像一下大海伸展得何等辽阔、在它里面蕴含的多种生物、它冲击各大洲时对陆地所施加的力量。神藉着衪的言语创造了大海，今天衪仍然在推动它的运行和管理它的秩序。

当有需要时我们可以求告神，因为衪管辖我们的世界。诗人歌颂神平静风浪的大能，同样，在面对生命中的风暴时，我们也可以祈求我们的主来看顾我们。

你生命中有没有需要祈求神来处理的风暴呢？来向主祷告、向祂歌颂吧。

祷告

亲爱的神，你知道在我心里和生命中经历的风暴。求你安静我的心和止息我的风暴，好叫我能在安息中赞美你。奉耶稣名祈求，阿们。

诗篇 89:1-13

1我要歌唱耶和华的慈爱直到永远，我要用口将你的信实传于万代。
2因我曾说：“你的慈悲必建立到永远，你的信实必坚立在天上。”
3“我与我所拣选的人立了约，向我的仆人大卫起了誓：
4我要建立你的后裔直到永远，要建立你的宝座直到万代。”（细拉）
5耶和华啊，诸天要称赞你的奇事，在圣者的会中要称赞你的信实！
6在天空，谁能比耶和华呢？神的众子中，谁能像耶和华呢？
7他在圣者的会中是大有威严的神，比一切在他四围的更可畏惧。
8耶和华万军之神啊，哪一个大能者像你耶和华？你的信实是在你的四围。
9你管辖海的狂傲，波浪翻腾，你就使他平静了。
10你打碎了拉哈伯，似乎是已杀的人，你用有能的膀臂打散了你的仇敌。
11天属你，地也属你，世界和其中所充满的都为你所建立。
12南北为你所创造，他泊和黑门都因你的名欢呼。
13你有大能的膀臂，你的手有力，你的右手也高举。

The Surging Sea

"You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them." - Psalm 89:9

英语音频 English Audio

The biggest wave on record was recorded on July 9, 1958, in Lituya Bay, Alaska. It was caused by an earthquake followed by a landslide, resulting in a towering tsunami more than 100 feet high. Just imagine a 10-story wall of water hurtling toward you.

The psalmist shares that God is in control of the surging seas. He is in control of its every motion. This psalm is a song reminding God’s people of all the great things he has done. “I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever,” it begins. The psalmist sings about how God rules over the whole creation.

God shows his greatness in the sea. Try to imagine how far it extends, all of the life that is in it, the power it exerts on land as it crashes against the continents. God created the sea through his Word, and he still moves it and watches over it today.

When we need help, we can call on God because he rules our world. As the psalmist sang about God’s power to still the waves, so we can pray to our Lord to take care of us in the storms of our lives.

Do you have a storm in your life that you want to ask God to take care of? Pray to the Lord. Sing his praises.

Prayer

Dear God, you know the storms that are in my heart and my life. Still my heart and calm my storms so that I can praise you in peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
