《詩篇》第十八章,六节
PSALM 18:6

6 我在急难中求告耶和华, 向我的神呼求。 他从殿中听了我的声音; 我在他面前的呼求入了他的耳中。 CUVS

今天我们一起背诵默想的经文来自《诗篇》第18 篇 ,这是一首壮观而充满激情的感恩诗。我们也会在《撒母耳记下》二十二章读到类似的一篇赞美诗。本诗记录了耶和华的仆人大卫,在登基为王之前,如何凭着信心呼求耶和华救他脱离一切仇敌和当时以色列的王扫罗之手,从而见证了神的大能,慈爱,公义与信实等品性。从第六节,也就是今天默想的这节经文,可以清楚看到在急难中,我们应求告耶和华,这位真神活神!因着耶稣的死里复活,君王耶稣成了一切求告他名之人的唯一拯救!大卫的后裔,神的儿子耶稣基督,是配得我们一切称颂的!

6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. KJV

The scripture we will recite together for meditation today is from Psalm 18, a spectacular and passionate psalm of thanksgiving. We will also read a similar hymn in 2 Samuel 22. This psalm records how David, the servant of the Lord, before he ascended to the throne, cried out in faith to the Lord to deliver him from all his enemies and from the hand of Saul, the king of Israel at that time, thus testifying to the power, love, righteousness and faithfulness of God. From verse six, which is the verse of today's meditation, it is clear that in our distress we should call on the LORD, the true and living God! By his resurrection from the dead, the King Jesus became the only salvation for all who call on his name! Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the descendant of David, is worthy of all our praise!
