第二日默想 ：我在哪里？

天主，祢鉴察我，祢深知我，
我的一切心思，祢全然明彻。
或行或卧，祢常在我面前，
祢是生命的创造者与守护者。

祢知晓我的安歇与起身，
祢从远处辨明我的思念；
以永恒的慈爱，祢环绕着我，
在生死之间，祢永在身边。

我唇舌未启，言语未出，
上主，祢已洞悉其中深意。
祢的临超乎我的理解，
贯穿我的过去、现在与未来。

纵使祢的神常覆庇我，
我仍想躲避祢圣容光辉。
世上无处能逃脫祢的临在，
黑暗于祢，亦如光明般璀璨。

因祢亲手创造塑造了我，
在我母胎中赐我生命；
我为这奇妙的存在赞美祢，
万物在祢掌中，焕然一新。

[English Version]

Day 2 Reflections - Where am I now?

O God, you search me and you know me.

All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.

When I walk or lie down you are before me:

Ever the maker and keeper of my days.

You know my resting and my rising.

You discern my purpose from afar,

And with love everlasting you besiege me:

In ev'ry moment of life or death, you are.

Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,

You have known its meaning through and through.

You are with me beyond my understanding:

God of my present, my past and future, too.

Although your Spirit is upon me,

Still I search for shelter from your light.

There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:

Even the darkness is radiant in your sight.

For you created me and shaped me,

Gave me life within my mother's womb.

For the wonder of who I am, I praise you:

Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.
