【以斯帖記 9:1-32】

1 十二月，乃亞達月十三日，王的諭旨將要舉行，就是猶大人的仇敵盼望轄制他們的日子，猶大人反倒轄制恨他們的人。

2 猶大人在亞哈隨魯王各省的城裡聚集，下手擊殺那要害他們的人。無人能敵擋他們，因為各族都懼怕他們。

3 各省的首領、總督、省長，和辦理王事的人，因懼怕末底改，就都幫助猶大人。

4 末底改在朝中為大，名聲傳遍各省，日漸昌盛。

5 猶大人用刀擊殺一切仇敵，任意殺滅恨他們的人。

6 在書珊城，猶大人殺滅了五百人；

7 又殺巴珊大他、達分、亞斯帕他、

8 破拉他、亞大利雅、亞利大他、

9 帕瑪斯他、亞利賽、亞利代、瓦耶撒他；

10 這十人都是哈米大他的孫子、猶大人仇敵哈曼的兒子。猶大人卻沒有下手奪取財物。

11 當日，將書珊城被殺的人數呈在王前。

12 王對王后以斯帖說：猶大人在書珊城殺滅了五百人，又殺了哈曼的十個兒子，在王的各省不知如何呢？現在你要什麼，我必賜給你；你還求什麼，也必為你成就。

13 以斯帖說：王若以為美，求你准書珊的猶大人，明日也照今日的旨意行，並將哈曼十個兒子的屍首掛在木架上。

14 王便允准如此行。旨意傳在書珊，人就把哈曼十個兒子的屍首掛起來了。

15 亞達月十四日書珊的猶大人又聚集在書珊，殺了三百人，卻沒有下手奪取財物。

16 在王各省其餘的猶大人也都聚集保護性命，殺了恨他們的人七萬五千，卻沒有下手奪取財物。這樣，就脫離仇敵，得享平安。

17 亞達月十三日，行了這事；十四日安息，以這日為設筵歡樂的日子。

18 但書珊的猶大人，這十三日、十四日聚集殺戮仇敵；十五日安息，以這日為設筵歡樂的日子。

19 所以住無城牆鄉村的猶大人，如今都以亞達月十四日為設筵歡樂的吉日，彼此餽送禮物。

20 末底改記錄這事，寫信與亞哈隨魯王各省遠近所有的猶大人，

21 囑咐他們每年守亞達月十四、十五兩日，

22 以這月的兩日為猶大人脫離仇敵得平安、轉憂為喜、轉悲為樂的吉日。在這兩日設筵歡樂，彼此餽送禮物，賙濟窮人。

23 於是，猶大人按著末底改所寫與他們的信，應承照初次所守的守為永例；

24 是因猶大人的仇敵亞甲族哈米大他的兒子哈曼設謀殺害猶大人，掣普珥，就是掣籤，為要殺盡滅絕他們；

25 這事報告於王，王便降旨使哈曼謀害猶大人的惡事歸到他自己的頭上，並吩咐把他和他的眾子都掛在木架上。

26 照著普珥的名字，猶大人就稱這兩日為普珥日。他們因這信上的話，又因所看見所遇見的事，

27 就應承自己與後裔，並歸附他們的人，每年按時必守這兩日，永遠不廢。

28 各省各城、家家戶戶、世世代代紀念遵守這兩日，使這普珥日在猶大人中不可廢掉，在他們後裔中也不可忘記。

29 亞比孩的女兒王后以斯帖和猶大人末底改以全權寫第二封信，堅囑猶大人守這普珥日，

30 用和平誠實話寫信給亞哈隨魯王國中一百二十七省所有的猶大人，

31 勸他們按時守這普珥日，禁食呼求，是照猶大人末底改和王后以斯帖所囑咐的，也照猶大人為自己與後裔所應承的。

32 以斯帖命定守普珥日，這事也記錄在書上。

God’s Family Hymnal 3:33

【The Sweetness of Drawing Near the Lord】

2 Your love draws me, I long to kiss You,

Be face to face with You.

Drink from river of love, forget the worldly cares,

Only You and I in this universe.

4 Days and years are far, it kept in my heart,

The fair place where we meet.

Unforgettable scenes flashed across my mind,

Recollect in my heart forever

5 My path of life, paved with His love,

Sweet memories everywhere.

Looking back, our journey in the past

Understand deeper the Lord’s love.

6 Loved what the Lord loves, He is my drive.

How great is His incentives.

Encourage me to strive, nourishes my hearts,

Blessed to taste sweet and bitterness.

【Psalm‬ ‭144‬:‭1‬-‭15】

Of David.

1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;

2 he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

3 O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke!

6 Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!

7 Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,

8 whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,

10 who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;

13 may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

13 may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets! Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!

15 Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

Songs of My heart 2:63

【This is the day that the Lord has made】

1. This is the day that the Lord has made.

We will rejoice, be glad in it.

This is the day that the Lord has made.

We will rejoice, and be glad in it.

2. His mercy and loving kindness

Are new and fresh every morning.

Love and mercy will follow me today,

And my Beloved will be with me.

3. He holds authority for me.

He causes all things works for me.

No good thing will He withhold from me.

I have a good inheritance.

4. Sufficient for the day its own trouble.

Do not worry for tomorrow.

Enjoy every day, every stage, every step.

Enjoy, admire your whole journey.

【Psalm‬ ‭143‬:‭1‬-‭12】

A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!

2 Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.

4 Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.

5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.

6 I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge.

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

11 For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!

12 And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant.

God’s Family Hymnal 10:59

【To You I am born】

To You I am made,

To be Your ultimate daring!

May You attract me to love You intently,

To You I firmly committed.

O, Lord! You are my Manifold Beloved

You want me most from of old,

To be Your compatible beloved darling!

May my heart belong to You forever.

How joyous to fall in love with You,

To enjoy in Your affection everyday;

The sweetest love path is liked a dream,

To finish with You in jubilation.

【Psalm‬ ‭142‬:‭1‬-‭7】

A Maskil (MAX-skill) of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1 With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.

2 I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.

3 When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

4 Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul.

5 I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!

7 Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.

Hymnal 2:164

【24 Hours’ Presence】

1 Twenty-four hours' presence with me!

What a sweet and precious blessing!

Who is so close to me but You?

You're my present help in time of need.

3 Twenty-four hours' presence with me!

I count on You, pour out my heart.

You are my Beloved and best Friend,

Carry me ahead, and hold my hand.

Chorus:

Presence day and night, how warm and sweet!

With You by my side I'm not alone.

Presence day and night, joined heart to heart!

Living with You, I taste heav'nly bliss.

【Psalm‬ ‭141‬:‭1‬-‭10】

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!

3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!

4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!

5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff, then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!

9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers!

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.
