1-13節--認罪之詩

詩篇 第51章

新約的約翰壹書一章9節,是其中一節最廣為人知的經文,它這樣說:「我們若認自己的罪,神是信實的,是公義的,必要赦免我們的罪,洗淨我們一切的不義。」舊約的詩篇五十一篇,卻是聖經之中,記述人向神最徹底認罪的一篇經文。

透過這篇詩,我們得以了解大衛當時認罪的心情。我們若沒有這篇詩,而只有撒母耳記下十一至十二章,我們便只能知悉大衛犯罪和悔罪的經過,而不會知道他實在是何等的深切悔疚,以及他如何徹底地向神認罪求赦。

大衛知道,當他犯罪的時候,他不僅是傷害人,而且更是得罪神(4節)。他承認自己在母腹當中便有罪(5節),可是,他卻知道自己不能以此作為犯罪的藉口。他承認自己確實犯了大事,愧對神給予他的種種恩典,他必須承擔全部罪責。

他知道,問題是出自他的內心,他需要把內心的罪污徹底清除。他在痛悔之餘,令人感到欣慰的是,神確實赦免了大衛的罪,大衛再次獲得救恩的喜樂。

你如果想知道大衛在蒙神赦罪之後,如何向神發出頌讚,請讀詩篇第三十二篇。請留意它的第一句:「得赦免其過,遮蓋其罪的,這人是有福的。」我們對此亦深有同感,對嗎?當我們來到神的面前認罪時,我們的內心一定是十分沉重;然而,當我們得著神的赦免,與神復和之後,我們的內心就會立時變得輕省,再次被喜樂所充滿。反思:我有甚麼隱藏的罪,需要向神立即陳明和徹底認罪呢?

A PSALM OF CONFESSION
BIBLE READING: Psalm 51: 1 – 13

One of the most well-known verses in the New Testament is 1 John 1: 9. ‘If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.’ This 51st Psalm comes from the Old Testament but it is one of the most complete confessions of a man’s sin found anywhere in the Bible.

It also helps us know and understand the heart of David in this situation. If we only had the story of David’s sin and repentance as found in 2 Samuel 11 and 12 we would never know how deeply he felt over it all and how fully he repented before God for what he had done.

David’s sin involved another person, Bath-sheba. But David realised that all sin is against God (v.4). He acknowledges (v.5) that he was born a sinner, but that did not excuse him for what he had done. He did it. He sinned in this way, in spite of all that God had done for him and he only had himself to blame.

He realised that the trouble was in his heart and that he needed to be cleansed again from the inside out. The wonderful part to remember is that God did forgive his sin and David found again the joy of his salvation.

If you want to read David’s Psalm of praise after God has forgiven him, turn back to Psalm 32. Look at how it starts, ‘Oh the happiness of the man who has been forgiven’. We know that ourselves, don’t we? There have been many times when we have had to confess our failures, but when God has forgiven us and fellowship has been restored, what a difference it makes. How happy we can be once more.

Question:

Is there something you need to confess to God today?
