【诗 55:22】你要把你的重担卸给耶和华，他必抚养你，他永不叫义人动摇。【Psa55:22】Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

《诗篇》55篇写于大卫生命中最惨痛的时刻：儿子押沙龙密谋造反，最倚重的密友亚希多弗倒戈背叛。Psalm 55 was written during one of the darkest and most painful moments in David’s life: his son Absalom conspired to rebel against him, and Ahithophel, his most trusted companion and counsellor, turned against him in betrayal. 面对敌人的攻击尚能忍受，但面对骨肉之亲的篡权和挚友的出卖，大卫的灵魂陷入了混乱与震撼。他在旷野中赤脚蒙头，甚至希望生出翅膀像鸽子一样逃离这窒息的处境。David could endure the attacks of enemies, but the treachery of his own son and beloved friend shattered his soul and left him overwhelmed with fear and confusion. Barefoot and with his head covered in mourning, he fled into the wilderness, longing for wings like a dove so that he might fly away and escape from such unbearable anguish.

在情感与尊严都被撕碎的处境中，大卫除了求告神，什么也做不了。他说：“至于我，我要求告神。”他化悲痛为祷告，晚上、早晨、晌午恒切呼求，In a situation where both his emotions and dignity had been torn apart, David could do nothing except cry out to God. He said, “As for me, I call to God.” He turned his sorrow into prayer, crying out earnestly evening, morning and noon. 在日夜的哀声中悔改自己的罪，将沉重的担子“卸”给耶和华。神也在环境中印证祂垂听祷告，藉人送来生活所需，安慰、坚固了大卫和随从的心，使他们重新刚强起来。In the midst of his groaning day and night, he repented of his sin and cast his burden upon the LORD. God also confirmed through circumstances that He had heard David’s prayers, providing what he and his followers needed through others, comforting and strengthening their hearts, until they were made strong again.

这场痛苦的劫难虽始于大卫的过犯，却成了炼净他的熔炉。经文给人印象最深的是身处在恐惧，弱势、落败中的大卫，仍然持续地祷告神…大卫的信心见证他对神的敬畏。Though this painful trial began because of David’s own sin, it became a furnace that refined him. What stands out most in this passage is that even in fear, weakness and apparent defeat, David continued steadfastly in prayer before God. David’s faith testified to his fear of the LORD. 义人必因信得生，大卫信靠神公义和慈爱，重获新生，好像死人复活一样。他虽然犯罪，但因他的信心，重新被神称义， 最终神使他的仇敌败亡，国位重新被坚固。The righteous will live by faith. Trusting in the righteousness and unfailing love of God, David was restored as though raised from the dead. Though he had sinned, by faith he was once again justified before God, and in the end the LORD caused his enemies to fall and established his throne once more.

大卫是在旧约律法时代，将神那‘高过律法，因信称义，义人必因信得生的’恩典，这隐藏在旧约里的真理，活出来的先锋典范。大卫的事例表明：只要人怀着谦卑痛悔的心寻求神，把你的重担卸给耶和华，祂必抚养你，祂永不叫义人动摇。David, though living under the Old Testament law, became a forerunner who lived out the hidden truth of God’s grace — a grace greater than the law itself: that a man is justified by faith, and that the righteous shall live by faith. David’s example shows that whenever a man comes before God with a humble and contrite heart, seeking Him and casting his burden upon the LORD, the LORD will sustain him; He will never let the righteous fall.

主啊，我赞美你，感谢你藉今天的经文给我们看见，有时候我们遇见的惧怕、痛苦、伤害可能像大卫一样是自己的罪导致。Lord, I praise You and thank You that through today’s passage You show us that sometimes the fear, pain and wounds we suffer, like David’s, may be the result of our own sin. 但即便如此，我们仍可以像大卫一样向神吐露苦情，持续祷告神，悔改自己的罪，改变自己不符合神旨意的内心；这样我们也要经历神的安慰，神的供应和从祂而来的坚固。Yet even so, we may still pour out our complaint before God as David did, continuing steadfastly in prayer, repenting of our sin, and allowing our hearts to be changed where they do not align with Your will. Then we too shall experience Your comfort, Your provision, and the strength that comes from You.

我的神昨日今日、明日永不改变；神不看我们过犯多大，乃是看我们是否转向神，怀着谦卑痛悔的心寻求祂。相信神不是来定罪、而是拯救我们脱离罪的神；因这信心就可以常向神欢呼：My God does not change — yesterday, today and forever. God does not look first at the greatness of our failures, but whether we will turn back to Him with a humble and repentant heart. By faith we believe that God did not come to condemn us, but to save us from our sins. Therefore we may continually rejoice before Him and declare: 你是我藏身之处，你必保佑我脱离苦难，以得救的乐歌四面环绕我。（诗32:7）“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalms 32:7)
