【诗22: 3】但你是圣洁的，是用以色列的赞美为宝座的。（“宝座”或作“居所”）。【Psalm 22:3】Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises."

大卫虽然心里不明白、思想没想通，但他没有纠结于“为什么离弃我”的情感挣扎，而是用一个“但”字，切断了不断下坠的负面思绪。Though David did not understand in his heart or work it out in his mind, he did not stay trapped in the emotional struggle of “Why have You forsaken me?” With the word “Yet,” he cut off the downward pull of negative thoughts. 这不仅是语气的转折，更是灵魂里思想与意志的调头。他不再盯着环境和伤痛，而是从“唉哼”中转出，抬头仰望那绝对真实的神属性：“你是圣洁的。” This was more than a shift in tone; it was a turning of his soul—of his thinking and his will. He stopped focusing on his circumstances and pain, turned from his groaning, and lifted his eyes to the unchanging reality of who God is: “You are holy.”

“圣洁”意味着神与受造之物有天壤之别。神的道路高过我们的道路，祂的意念高过我们的意念。To call God “holy” is to recognise that He is utterly set apart from all creation. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. 当我们以被造之物、井底之蛙的眼光看，觉得神“远离”时，但其实神从来没有一丝改变过，祂公平、公义、怜悯、圣洁的属性。祂依然在宝座上掌权，旨意从不被环境左右或仇敌干扰。From the limited viewpoint of created beings—like frogs at the bottom of a well—we may think God is “distant.” Yet He has not changed at all; His justice, righteousness, mercy, and holiness remain the same. He still reigns on the throne, and His purposes are never controlled by circumstances or hindered by the enemy.大卫明白，神不需要向受造物解释“为什么”。这种对神圣洁主权的敬畏，让大卫躁动不安的心，立刻安静在受造者的本位里。David knew that God does not owe His creatures an explanation of “why.” This reverent awe of God’s holy sovereignty quieted his anxious heart and restored him to his rightful place before the Creator.

更让我震撼的是，在如此深的危机里，大卫竟能很快就能从他的灵里，领悟到这丝启示亮光，并立即抓住这信心的支点：这圣洁的神竟以“赞美为宝座”。What moves me deeply is that in such profound crisis, David could so quickly receive this light of revelation in his spirit and grasp this anchor point of faith: the holy God is enthroned on praise.这意味着，无论我们的属灵光景或心情多差，当我们开口赞美，就是以信心为祭，就是悔改转向神，就是为“活神”搭建居所。This means that no matter how weak our spiritual state or how low we feel, when we choose to praise, we offer a sacrifice of faith, we turn in repentance toward God, and we prepare a dwelling place for the living God. 神必来到我们当中，赦免、洁净并施恩，使我们与祂的救恩有份…供应、祝福都会如春雨临到…He comes among His people to forgive, to cleanse, and to pour out grace, giving us a share in His salvation… and provision and blessing fall like spring rain.

赞美不是在环境好转后的“心情抒发”，而是在大水漫过头顶时，以信心为祭，向属灵世界发出的得胜宣告：我们的一切好处都不在神以外。Praise is not simply an emotional response once things get better; it is, when the floodwaters rise over our heads, a sacrifice of faith and a declaration of victory in the spiritual realm: every good we have is found in God alone.

主啊，在这个春节和往后的生活中，当我面对触动内心“难受机制”的不如意时，我的本能常是沮丧与内耗。Lord, during this Spring Festival season and in the days to come, when I face situations that stir up inner distress, my natural response is often discouragement and inner turmoil. 但你提醒我，负面意念无法让你居住——你不坐在苦毒、埋怨的位上，你寻找的是在极深黑暗中，依然愿意用信心、感恩宣告你性情的人。Yet You remind me that negative thoughts do not provide a place for You to dwell—you are not enthroned upon bitterness or complaint. You seek those who, even in deep darkness, are willing to declare Your character with faith and gratitude.

求你赦免我常把赞美当成得着祝福后的交换，而非你本配得的居所。愿我的口不仅免犯任意妄为的罪，更能成为你设立宝座的地方。Forgive me for so often treating praise as a transaction after blessing, rather than as the dwelling place You truly deserve. May my mouth be kept not only from wilful sin, but become a place where You establish Your throne.即便在最深的旷野、最无望的黑夜，只要发出一句对你的赞美，那就是光，是连接平安、喜乐、盼望源头的“插座”，是通往你同在盛宴的窄门。愿万国万民都来赞美你！ Even in the deepest wilderness and the darkest night, a single word of praise to You is light; it is the point of connection to the source of peace, joy, and hope; it is the narrow gate into the banquet of Your presence. May all nations and peoples come to praise You!
