【诗13:5】但我倚靠你的慈爱，我的心因你的救恩快乐。【Psa 13:5】But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

大卫在长期的困难中，面对神迟迟没有到来的拯救，曾向神多次呼求。在绝望之时，坚守比放弃更加困难。David, after living through long seasons of hardship, cried out to God again and again as he waited for a deliverance that seemed slow to arrive. In times of despair, holding on is often harder than giving up.大卫在痛苦中，坚持选择来到神的面前。他并不隐藏，而是到神面前倾心吐意。他反复呼喊“……要到几时呢？” 这不是信心的丧失，而是谦卑的倚靠。软弱却坚定仰望。在没有看见的时候，依然相信神的拯救。Yet in his pain, David kept choosing to come before God. He did not hide, but poured out his heart honestly before the Lord. His repeated cry, “How long…?” was not a loss of faith, but a humble dependence—weak, yet firmly fixed on God; trusting in God’s salvation even when nothing could yet be seen.

悲哀、孤独、焦虑……身心受苦，这是何等的苦呢？但大卫在每一次的试炼中都一样，在煎熬中，没有因绝望低头，也没有失去仰望的勇气，更没有任由抱怨、恼恨吞噬自己。Grief, loneliness, anxiety—the suffering of both body and soul—how deep such pain runs. Yet in every trial, David responded the same way: in the midst of agony, he did not bow to despair, nor did he lose the courage to look upward, nor did he allow complaint or bitterness to consume him.他仍有一双信心的眼睛。在惊涛骇浪，看上去命悬一线的时候，看见救他的不是刀剑车马，也不是势力才能，乃是耶和华的慈爱的手。他已经和他的神有了生死之交。He still had eyes of faith. When the waves were raging and his life seemed to hang by a thread, he saw that the One who saved him was not sword or chariot, nor human power or strength, but the merciful hand of the LORD. He had come to know his God in matters of life and death.

罪人的结局就是沉沦。但有一位救主，祂名叫耶稣，要把祂的百姓从罪恶中拯救出来。祂曾来到这世间，为我们经历逼迫羞辱。The end of sinners is destruction. But there is a Saviour—His name is Jesus—who came to save His people from their sins. He entered this world and endured persecution and humiliation for our sake.祂在最痛的时刻打开了饶恕的门：父啊，赦免他们。” 祂代替了“一遇压力就翻腾苦毒、咒骂”的我们，把我们苦难的根源：肉体连同肉体的邪情私欲与祂一同钉死。At His most painful moment, He opened the door of forgiveness: “Father, forgive them.” He took the place of us—those who, under pressure, so easily boil over with bitterness and curses—and nailed to the cross, together with Himself, the very root of our suffering: the flesh with its sinful passions and desires.大卫经历且效法耶稣，就得着了救恩的喜乐。只要我们愿意悔改、离弃罪，也必能得着这喜乐。David experienced this salvation and, by walking this path, received the joy of salvation. If we are willing to repent and turn away from sin, we too can receive this joy.

大卫一生经历了无数次的反败为胜，一次次的绝地反生。在人生的低谷中，主让我们效法他：David’s life was marked by countless turnarounds—again and again, life emerging from impossible situations. In the low points of life, the Lord calls us to follow his example:弃绝那些对未知的负面幻想，转而纪念神在属灵前辈和我们身上所行的大事。每当我这样思想，心里就发热，喜乐满溢，感动喷涌。to reject negative imaginings about the unknown, andinstead remember the great things God has done in the lives of those who went before us, and in our own lives as well. Whenever I do this, my heart grows warm, joy overflows, and gratitude rises within me.

主啊，我要像大卫一样大声宣告并歌唱：我倚靠你的慈爱，我的心因你的救恩快乐！神的慈爱永远长存，永不止息。Lord, I want, like David, to boldly declare and sing: I trust in Your steadfast love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. The steadfast love of the LORD endures forever and never fails.大卫见证了，我也经历了，因此要来见证这慈爱拯救的神，愿人人都来就近祂，得着永生的福分。David testified to this, and I have experienced it too; therefore I will bear witness to this God of steadfast love and saving power, so that all may draw near to Him and receive the gift of eternal life.
