Hear my cry for mercy

Psalm 28:1-9
Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
Praise be to the Lordfor he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shieldmy heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
Save your people and bless your inheritance;  be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Danger leads to a cry for help, and a plea for the punishment of those evil people who are the source of the trouble. Prayer turns to praise at the assurance that God has heard and answered.
Why?
God is good and full of grace and love, so David cry to God for mercy.
God's judgment comes on everyone and repays each one for their deeds. God is righteousness.
The Lord is my strength for rely on Him will be no shamed.

25-28 都是大衛在苦難中的禱告。
1. 令人絕望的情形:神怎麼不理我了,一直沒有看到事情改變,是否神離開我而懼怕。是否我得罪神了嗎?如果神向我閉口,我就像是將死的人。與之間暢通無阻,比什麼都重要。
2.求神行公義:更害怕他被認為是惡人。為罪受苦是罪應得。求神彰顯公義,叫他不要像惡人一樣遭害。惡人不一定是作惡多端,而是不在乎神的人。我們常禱告神關心我,但是我們是否關心神的事呢? 在乎神的心意。第二段看似自私的祈求,其實關心神的公義,神的作為
3.因信而有的喜樂:由祈求轉為讚美,因為他相信神已經聽了他的禱告,心裏重新得著力量。
4.分享祝福:不僅想自己王位,名聲,更看到整個國家需要被牧養扶持。關心到所有神所關心的人。
大衛這樣轉變,在乎與神的相通,在乎神的公義,作為,相信神在乎我們的事。

Praise the Lord and trust in the Lord forever!
