【诗篇70：4】愿一切寻求你的，因你高兴欢喜；愿那些喜爱你救恩的常说：“当尊神为大。”【Psa70:4 】But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!”

诗篇第70篇是整本诗篇中篇幅最短、节奏最紧迫的呼救诗之一。是大卫在命悬一线时，向神发出的“紧急呼救信号”。诗篇70篇（共5节）与诗篇40篇的第13至17节几乎完全相同。Psalm 70 is one of the shortest and most urgent cries for help in the entire Book of Psalms. It is David’s emergency call to God when his life was in grave danger. Psalm 70, consisting of only five verses, is almost identical to Psalm 40:13–17. 是否是圣灵引导大卫，把诗篇40篇里最核心、最迫切的“呼救段落”单独摘出来，独立成篇，编成了这诗篇70篇？目的就是为了让神子民，在遭遇突发患难、属灵争战最剧烈、甚至连呼吸都困难的时刻，可以拿起来就能直接向神呼喊？It seems that, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David may have taken the most essential and urgent portion of his plea from Psalm 40 and set it apart as a separate psalm. In doing so, God has provided His people with a prayer that can be lifted up immediately in times of sudden trouble, fierce spiritual conflict, or even when one can scarcely catch his breath.

显然这段呼求是大卫在多次急难中的真实经历。因大卫平时就这样敬畏神、寻求神，跟神有好关系，所以在他多次危机里，神也就快快帮助他，使他灵里立刻有力量，信心刚强。Clearly, this prayer arose out of David’s real experiences in repeated times of distress. Because he continually feared the Lord, sought Him, and walked in fellowship with Him, God was swift to help him in his many crises, strengthening him inwardly and renewing his faith. 新约圣灵也借着保罗说，“但愿使人有盼望的　神，因信，将诸般的喜乐平安充满你们的心，使你们藉着圣灵的能力大有盼望” (罗 15:13)。大卫因寻求神所得的恩膏，高兴欢喜，从耶和华而来的喜乐作了大卫患难中的力量；在笃定的信心里，大卫看到了得救的盼望。In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit likewise speaks through Paul: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13). The anointing David received through seeking God filled him with gladness and rejoicing. The joy that came from the Lord became his strength in affliction, and through steadfast faith he beheld the hope of deliverance.

在神给大卫度身定做的环境中，大卫没有顺从负面、不信的黑暗权势下沉，他以信心向神呼求，寻求神，神就赐下更大的信心。大卫的里面的人得救了、成长了。多次信心考试以后，他成了凭信心承受应许的人。In the circumstances that God had specifically appointed for him, David did not yield to the downward pull of unbelief or to the powers of darkness. Rather, he cried out to God in faith and sought His face, and the Lord granted him even greater faith. His inner man was saved and strengthened. Having been tested many times, he became one who inherited the promises through faith.

主啊，感谢你，给我们逆境，训练我们，不是躺平、灰心沮丧，自暴自弃，而是在逆水中奋力游向你。你喜悦我们主动跟自己肉体里面的律争战，Lord, we thank You for the adversities You allow in our lives. Through them You train us not to give up, become discouraged, or abandon ourselves to despair, but to press on toward You against the current. You delight when we willingly wage war against the law of sin within our flesh.  这是向罪死、向神活，得胜环境和自己的第一步。主动寻求神、心思和行动都一起用上，尽心尽性寻求神，就必寻见。(申4:29) This is the first step in dying to sin, living unto God, and overcoming both our circumstances and ourselves. As we actively seek You with both heart and action, loving You and seeking You with all our heart and soul, we shall find You (Deuteronomy 4:29). 主啊，感谢你，让大卫给我做榜样，愿大卫的心成为我的心，真实看见、谦卑承认，自己也实在是灵里困苦穷乏的人，求你搭救我，求你速速搭救我…Lord, I thank You for giving David as an example to me. May David’s heart become my heart. Grant that I may truly see and humbly confess that I also am poor and needy in spirit. Deliver me, O Lord; hasten to help me. 脱离罪恶、脱离追赶我的家族邪灵…让我也因寻求你，信靠你，得着胜过罪的力量，高兴欢喜！我们这样行，又能救自己，又能救看见和听见我们见证的人。(提前4:16) Save me from sin and from every evil power that pursues me. As I seek You and put my trust in You, grant me strength to overcome sin and to rejoice in You. For by persevering in these things, we not only save ourselves, but also those who see and hear our testimony (1 Timothy 4:16). Amen.
