Ps 38:1-22.
繁體中文
Original en inglés
Ps 38:1-22.
To bring to remembrance, or, remind God of His mercy and himself of his sin. Appealing to God for relief from His heavy chastisement, the Psalmist avows his integrity before men, complains of the defection of friends and persecution of enemies, and in a submissive spirit, casting himself on God, with penitent confession he pleads God's covenant relation and his innocence of the charges of his enemies, and prays for divine comfort and help.

(Ps 6:1),
under the figure of bodily disease
[Ps 38:3].

21
Sin título
繁體中文
21, 22. （參看 Ps 22:19；35:3。）
都是常用的用語。在本篇中，其言語大體上可應用於基督作為受苦者，大衛作為如此者預表祂。這並不要求我們應用認罪的話，而只應用祂為我們所受的痛苦或刑罰。
Original en inglés
21, 22. (Compare
Ps 22:19; 35:3).
All terms of frequent use. In this Psalm the language is generally susceptible of application to Christ as a sufferer, David, as such, typifying Him. This does not require us to apply the confessions of sin, but only the pains or penalties which He bore for us.
Ps 38:1-22.
紀念，或作提醒神記念祂的憐憫、提醒自己記念自己的罪。詩人為從神重重的懲治中得解救而向神呼求，在世人面前宣認自己的正直，哀訴朋友的背棄與仇敵的迫害；並以順服的靈投靠神，以悔罪的認罪懇求神聖約的關係與他對仇敵指控的無辜，祈求神的安慰與幫助。
