“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law!” Psalm 119:18
“求你开我的眼睛，使我看出你律法中的奇妙！”诗篇119:18
God’s Book is a book of wonders! It is a wonderful record . . .
of God’s power in creation,
of His wisdom in providence,
and of His grace in redemption.
上帝的书是一本奇妙的书！它是一个奇妙的记录……
关于上帝在创造中的能力，
关于祂在护理中的智慧，
以及祂在救赎中的恩典。
It has the stamp of infinity upon it. We cannot penetrate its heights, fathom its depths, or traverse its lengths and breadths-but as we are taught of God. The Holy Spirit, who composed it and inspired holy men to write it, must unfold and reveal it to our minds-or we shall never . . .
see its glory,
be impressed with its majesty,
or rejoice in its divine truths.
它带有无限的印记。我们无法穿透它的高度，测量它的深度，或跨越它的长度和宽度 – 除非我们受到上帝的教导。圣灵，它的作者和启发圣人写作的灵，必须向我们的心智展开并揭示它 – 否则我们将永远不会……
看到它的荣耀，
被它的威严所打动，
或在它的神圣真理中欢欣。
Never let us read any portion of God’s Word without looking up for divine teaching. Never let us imagine that we know all that is contained in any one verse of God’s blessed Book-for there is a fullness in the holy Scriptures not to be found anywhere else.
我们绝不要在没有仰望神圣教导的情况下阅读上帝之道的任何部分。我们绝不要想象我们知道上帝祝福之书中任何一节所包含的全部内容 – 因为在圣经中有一种充实感是在其他任何地方都找不到的。
Oh, ever blessed Spirit of God, who has given us Your holy Word to . . .
instruct our intellects,
sanctify our hearts, and
regulate our lives;
we beseech You to . . .
enlighten our minds to understand it,
open our hearts to receive it,
give us faith to believe it, and
enable us to reduce it to practice in our every-day life!
噢，永远蒙福的上帝之灵，你赐给我们你的圣言是为了……
教导我们的智力，
圣化我们的心灵，
规范我们的生活；
我们恳求你……
启迪我们的心智以理解它，
打开我们的心扉以接受它，
赐给我们信心以相信它，
使我们能够在日常生活中实践它！
O may we be given grace . . .
愿我们被赐予恩典……
understand the sublime doctrines,
理解崇高的教义，
believe the precious promises, and
相信宝贵的应许，并且
practice the holy precepts of Your blessed Word!
实践你蒙福之道的神圣训诫！
Lord, unveil to us the types, unfold to us the prophecies-and apply to our hearts, the consolatory portions of the sacred Scriptures.
主啊，向我们揭示预表，向我们展开预言——并将圣经中安慰人心的部分应用于我们的心灵。
May we hide the Word in our hearts, that we may not sin against You.
愿我们将你的话语藏在心里，使我们不至犯罪得罪你。
O to . . .
噢，愿我们能……
catch the meaning,
领会含义，
taste the sweetness,
品尝甘甜，
and feel the power,
并感受力量，
of Your holy truth!
你神圣真理的力量！
O Lord, open our eyes, and unfold the truth to us this night!
主啊，开我们的眼睛，在今夜向我们展开真理！
O Lord, soften our hearts, and bring home Your Word with power!
主啊，软化我们的心，以大能将你的话语带到我们心中！
