O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting (短暫的) I am! 5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths(一手之寬), and my lifetime(一生) is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! 6Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil(混亂); man heaps up(堆放) wealth (財富) and does not know who will gather!耶和華啊，求你叫我曉得我身之終！我的壽數幾何？叫我知道我的生命不長！你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各人最穩妥的時候，真是全然虛幻。世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。
7“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
主啊，如今我等什麼呢？我的指望在乎你！(詩篇39, 4-7節)
All men are vanity before God, and the only hope is in God.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good
8Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge (庇護) in him! 9Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! 10The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善；投靠他的人有福了！耶和華的聖民哪，你們當敬畏他，因敬畏他的一無所缺少壯獅子還缺食忍餓，但尋求耶和華的什麼好處都不缺。（詩篇第34篇8-10節）
We can truly experience God, not through imagination or mystical encounters. He is not a distant God who has no connection with us. We can see and taste the tangible blessings of the Lord, and it is a wonderful thing. We can personally experience the taste of His grace and come to know the goodness of God through practical and experiential encounters.

Blessed is the one whose
Blessed (受祝福的)is the one whose transgression (罪過) is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity(罪惡), and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 得赦免其過，遮蓋其最罪的，這人是有福的！凡心裏沒有詭詐、耶和華算為有罪的，這人是有福的！
There are a few words here that hold great significance for me, namely "forgiven," "covered" and "counts no iniquity." In Taiwan, many people believe that through practicing austerities or improving their virtues, they can reach a certain state or even become god-like person. However, this concept is not present here. Instead, it is believed that human sins and corruption are forgiven, covered, and not counted as guilty by a holy and righteous God. Those who acknowledge their sins and believe in God are blessed.
If we honestly confront our own situation, we will recognize that we are often bound by sin. Even if we strive to do good, our thoughts, intentions, and actions are often beyond our control. For example, we often think only of ourselves, harbor anger and hatred towards others, or envy their success. These sins cannot be overcome through our own efforts and practices. Instead, there is a holy God who "covers" our sins and is willing to consider those who acknowledge their guilt and have faith in God to be "not guilty." This is a state of blessedness!
