The Repentance of David, May 17
黎明的灵修-第137章
“因有无数的祸∶围困我,我的罪孽追上了我使我不能昂首,这罪孽比我的头发还多,我就必寒胆战。耶和华啊! 求祢开恩搭救我;耶和华啊! 求祢速速帮助我”(诗40:12,13)。[1]

Men of Old Repent
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.Psalm 40:12, 13.{WGD 139.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第137章
在以后的各世代中,许多不信上帝的人们要指着大卫有污点的品格,得意地嘲笑说:“这就是合上帝心意的人!”……但大卫的历史事实上并不能为罪恶张目。他之称为合上帝心意的人,乃是在他遵行上帝旨意的时候。当他犯了罪时,情形就不是如此了,直到他悔改归向耶和华为止。……大卫虽然悔改了他的罪,并蒙了耶和华的赦免和悦纳,但他自己所撒的种子已经为他结出苦毒的果子。上帝降在他和他全家身上的刑罚,说明上帝是多么恨这罪。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第137章
Through successive generations, infidels have pointed to the character of David, bearing this dark stain, and have exclaimed in triumph and derision, “This is the man after God’s own heart!” ... But the history of David furnishes no countenance to sin. It was when he was walking in the counsel of God, that he was called a man after God’s own heart. When he sinned, this ceased to be true of him until by repentance he had returned to the Lord.... Though David repented of his sin, and was forgiven and accepted by the Lord, he reaped the baleful harvest of the seed he himself had sown. The judgments upon him and upon his house testify to God’s abhorrence of the sin....{WGD 139.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第137章
上帝的旨意是要以大卫失足的历史作为一个警告,就是,凡蒙他特别赐福和恩待的人,万不可自觉安全而忽略儆醒祈祷。这样,一切能虚心领受上帝所赐教训的人都已学到这一点。自古以来,已有千万人从此看出自己易受撒但试探的危险。……大卫的悔改是真诚而深切的。他没有企图文饰自己的罪过,没有希望逃脱该受的刑罚,这是他的祷告所表现的精神。他只是看出得罪上帝的过犯是何等的可憎;并看出自己心灵受了污秽;他深深厌恶自己的罪。他的祷告不单是祈求赦罪的恩典,而也求心灵的清洁。(PP 722-725)[3]
黎明的灵修-第137章
God intended the history of David’s fall to serve as a warning that even those whom He has greatly blessed and favored are not to feel secure, and neglect watchfulness and prayer. And thus it has proved to those who in humility have sought to learn the lesson that God designed to teach. From generation to generation, thousands have thus been led to realize their own danger from the tempter’s power.... David’s repentance was sincere and deep. There was no effort to palliate his crime. No desire to escape the judgments threatened, inspired his prayer. But he saw the enormity of his transgression against God; he saw the defilement of his soul; he loathed his sin. It was not for pardon only that he prayed, but for purity of heart.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 722-725{WGD 139.3}[3]
