弟兄姊妹，早安。
昨天在詩篇第11篇，我們看見耶和華仍在祂的聖殿中，祂的寶座仍在天上。到了今天詩篇第12篇，經文把我們帶回地上的現實：敬虔人稀少，忠信人斷絕，人與人之間充滿虛謊、諂媚和誇大的話。這是一個真假混雜、聲音混亂的世代。
但這篇詩最寶貴的，不只是讓我們看見世代的敗壞，更是讓我們看見：當地上的聲音越來越混亂，神仍然沒有沉默；當人的話越來越不可靠，神仍然說話；當困苦人被壓制、貧窮人發出歎息時，神仍然看見，神仍然知道，神仍然起來。
今天讓我們從詩篇第12篇，重新學習怎樣在混亂中聽見神仍然說話。
一、把心轉向神，才會重新聽見祂的聲音
（詩12:1-2）
大衛一開始不是先評論環境，而是先向神呼求：「耶和華啊，求你幫助。」當四周充滿虛假與失望時，他沒有讓心停在人的話裡，反而先把心轉向神。
今天也是一樣。若我們裡面先被環境充滿，就很難安靜聽見神；但當我們重新轉向神，承認自己需要祂，裡面的耳朵就會慢慢重新打開。
二、把主權歸給神，才不會被別的聲音牽引
（詩12:3-4）
惡人說：「我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？」這不只是人的狂傲，更是人拒絕讓神作主。
很多時候，攔阻我們聽見神的，不只是外面的聲音，也可能是裡面的感覺、想法、委屈和恐懼。當這些東西坐上主的位置，我們就會越來越聽不清楚神的聲音。惟有當我們再次承認神是主，我們裡面才會有真正的安穩與清明。
三、站穩神的話，才會在混亂中活得安穩
（詩12:5-8）
這篇詩最寶貴的轉折，就是「耶和華說」。人的話可以虛假，神的話卻是純淨的；人的聲音可以誇大，神的聲音卻真實可靠。
神說，祂看見困苦人的冤屈，祂聽見貧窮人的歎息，祂現在要起來。即使環境未必立刻改變，惡人未必立刻消失，但神的話仍然站立，神的保護仍然真實。真正使我們安穩的，不是世界忽然安靜，而是神的話成為我們裡面的根基。
總結
今天神藉著詩篇第12篇提醒我們：
在混亂中，不要只聽地上的聲音；在真假混雜中，不要只看人的反應；在失望與壓力中，要重新回到神面前。因為神仍然說話。神仍然看見。神仍然起來。神仍然保護屬祂的人。
今天我們可以安靜問自己：
我最近裡面最響亮的聲音，是神的聲音，還是環境的聲音？
我是否嘴上說信靠神，心裡卻讓別的東西作主？
我是否仍然願意在這樣的世代中，站穩神純淨的話語？
禱告
親愛的天父，感謝祢，因為當人的話不可靠，祢的話仍然純淨；當世代充滿混亂，祢仍然說話；當我們裡面有歎息，祢仍然看見。求祢把我們的心重新帶回祢面前，使我們不被環境奪去，不被人的聲音牽引，幫助我們重新承認祢是主，也重新站穩祢的話語。願祢今天對我們說話，使我們在混亂中仍有平安，在黑暗中仍有方向，在世代中仍然活出信心。奉主耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們。
詩篇 12
大衛的詩，交於伶長。調用第八。
1 耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了，世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
2 人人向鄰舍說謊，他們說話是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
3 凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。
4 他們曾說：「我們必能以舌頭得勝，我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能做我們的主呢？」
5 耶和華說：「因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的嘆息，我現在要起來，把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。」
6 耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
7 耶和華啊，你必保護他們，你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
8 下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。
Good morning, family.
Yesterday in Psalm 11, we saw that the Lord is still in His holy temple, and His throne is still in heaven. Today in Psalm 12, the psalm brings us back to the reality on earth: the godly are fading, the faithful seem to disappear, and people are full of lies, flattery, and proud words. It is a generation of confusion, where truth feels rare and many voices compete for our attention.
But the precious thing in this psalm is not only that it shows us how broken the world is. It also shows us that when earthly voices become noisy and unreliable, God has not become silent. When human words cannot be trusted, God still speaks. When the poor are oppressed and the needy are sighing, God still sees, God still knows, and God still rises.
Today, Psalm 12 teaches us how to hear that God still speaks, even in a confused generation.
- Turn your heart back to God, and you will hear His voice again
(Psalm 12:1-2)
David did not begin by arguing with people or reacting to the environment. He began by crying out to God: “Help, Lord.” When everything around him was full of falsehood and disappointment, he did not stay trapped in human voices. He turned his heart back to God.
It is the same for us. If our hearts are filled first with pressure, fear, and the noise around us, it becomes very hard to hear God clearly. But when we turn back to Him and admit our need of Him, our inner ears begin to open again.
- Give the lordship back to God, and you will not be led by other voices
(Psalm 12:3-4)
The wicked say, “Who is lord over us?” This is not only pride. It is a refusal to let God be Lord.
Many times, what blocks us from hearing God is not only the voices outside us, but also the voices within us—our fears, emotions, frustrations, and personal opinions. When these things take the place of lordship in our hearts, we slowly lose clarity. But when we once again bow before God and acknowledge that He is Lord, our hearts become steady and clear.
- Stand on God’s word, and you will remain steady in confusion
(Psalm 12:5-8)
The turning point of this psalm is this: “The Lord says.” Human words can be false, but God’s words are pure. Human voices can be proud and misleading, but God’s voice is true and trustworthy.
God says that He sees the oppression of the poor and hears the sighing of the needy. He says, “Now I will arise.” Even if the environment does not change immediately, and even if evil still seems to move freely, God’s word still stands, and His protection is still real. What makes us steady is not that the world suddenly becomes quiet, but that God’s word becomes our foundation.
Summary
Today, Psalm 12 reminds us:
In confusion, do not listen only to earthly voices.
In a generation of mixed truth and falsehood, do not focus only on people’s reactions.
In disappointment and pressure, return again to God.
Because God still speaks.
God still sees.
God still rises.
God still protects those who belong to Him.
Today we can quietly ask ourselves:
What is the loudest voice in my heart recently—God’s voice or the voice of my circumstances?
Do I say that I trust God, while allowing something else to rule my heart?
Am I still willing to stand on God’s pure word in this generation?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You that when human words are unreliable, Your word is still pure. When this generation is full of confusion, You still speak. When there is sighing within us, You still see. Please bring our hearts back to You. Do not let us be taken over by circumstances or controlled by human voices. Help us to acknowledge again that You are Lord, and to stand again on Your word. Speak to us today. Give us peace in confusion, direction in darkness, and faith in this generation. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Psalm 12
To the Chief Musician. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?”
5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
