一、忍耐等候 神终拯救（诗40:1-3）

1. 神亲手将我拉上来（V1-2）

大卫说他曾耐性等候神，经历了神亲手在“祸坑淤泥”的 绝望与困境中将他拉上来，使他脚立在磐石上。

我们在等工作、医治、改变…神可能没有立刻回应，其实祂正在为我们的脚步预备磐石，然后亲手将我们拉上来。等候神要有信心和耐性。

2.蒙神拯救口唱新歌（V3）
 
“口唱新歌”强调的是从心里涌出，并由口而出的真实赞美，是用声音向人宣告神的恩典。拯救不是只带来个人感动，而是让许多人看见的见证。

拯救带来新歌！新歌带来见证！见证带来更多人信靠神！

二、在祸患中 坚持信靠（诗40:4-5）

1. 信靠神的人为有福（V4）

大卫对比“信靠神”和“狂傲虚假”的人，强调：在祸患中“倚靠神”的人，才是真正蒙福的人！而非靠计谋、靠关系，偏行己路。

2. 神的意念无法陈明（V5）

大卫惊叹神的计划与作为，远超人理解。我们或许不明白眼前的病痛、困扰、等待，但你可以相信神的意念无人相比，祂的旨意最好，因为祂知道我们不知道的未来！

三、在攻击中 坚守忠心（诗40:6-10）

1. 神看心志而非仪式（V6-8）

当时许多人以为做献祭就讨神喜悦，但大卫明白，神要的不是仪式，而是“心志”。神的律法不能只停在我们的头脑中，更要进入我们的“心里”，成为我们的道路、生命，才能叫我们“乐意照神的旨意行”。神要的是属灵忠心。

2. 不住传扬神的公义（V9-10）
大卫不只在私下敬畏神，更在众人面前公开传扬神的作为。这是“忠心的行动”。我们的口是否乐意讲神的恩典？在群组、饭桌、公司，是不是也可以提起救我们的主？

四、在困境中 呼求主恩（诗40:11-17）

1. 祸患困我 罪孽追我（V11-12）

大卫没有否认自己的问题，而是承认述说出来。神不是只救无辜的，更愿意拯救承认有罪的。

神能救“掉进坑”的人，也能赦免“自己跳下去”的人。神不会嫌弃人，而是等待人认罪呼求。

2. 求主速速 开恩搭救（V13-15）

大卫重复“求祢”，体现大卫迫切的心，真诚的呼求：主啊！快来救我！这才是活的祷告！属神的人，不是假装刚强，而是真实呼救。神乐意垂听。

3. 信心宣告神仍顾念（V16-17）

这是大卫在困境中的“宣告式祷告”，虽不见出路，却仍信神顾念。盼望不是因为问题解决，而是因为神顾念你。你不是被遗弃的，是被纪念的！

总结：

今天你若在“祸坑”中，不要怕；因为祂曾亲手救大卫，祂也亲手救你站稳磐石，并要使用你去拉别人起来。



    

Psalm 40:  Trusting the Righteous Lord in the Pit of Despair
GK611 Morning Devotion
09/07/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel

 I. Waiting Patiently – God Ultimately Delivers (Psalm 40:1–3) 

1. God Personally Lifted Me Up (V1–2)

David said he waited patiently for the Lord and experienced God personally lifting him out of the pit of destruction and the miry clay, setting his feet upon a rock.

When we wait for a job, healing, or change... God may not respond immediately. In fact, He is preparing a solid rock for our steps and will personally lift us up. Waiting on God requires faith and patience.

2. Saved by God, Singing a New Song (V3)

“Singing a new song” emphasizes genuine praise flowing from the heart and proclaimed through the mouth—it’s a public declaration of God’s grace. Salvation is not just a personal experience but a visible testimony to many.

Salvation brings a new song! A new song brings testimony! Testimony leads more people to trust in God!

II. Persist in trusting during Trouble  times(Psalm 40:4–5)

1. Blessed Are Those Who Trust in God (V4)

David contrasts those who trust in God with the proud and deceitful, emphasizing that those who rely on the Lord in times of trouble are truly blessed—not those who depend on 
schemes, connections, or their own ways.

2. God's Thoughts Cannot Be Explained V5)

David marvels that God's plans and deeds are far beyond human understanding. Even when we don’t understand the pain, trials, or waiting we face, we can trust that God's thoughts are unmatched, and His will is best—because He knows the future we do not.

III. Remaining Faithful in Attacks (Psalm 40:6–10)

1. God Desires Obedience, Not Ritual (V6–8)

Many believed that sacrifices pleased God, but David understood that God desires obedience oit of a wiliing heart —not mere rituals. God’s law should not remain in our 
minds but enter our hearts, becoming our path and life. Only then can we truly delight to do God’s will. What God seeks is spiritual faithfulness.

2. Constantly Proclaiming God’s Righteousness (V9–10)

David didn’t just revere God privately—he publicly proclaimed God's works. This is the act of faithful obedience. Are our mouths willing to speak of God's grace? At the table, in group chats, or at work—can we mention the Savior who rescued us?

IV Crying for Grace in Distress (Psalm 40:11–17)

1. Surrounded by Trouble, Chased by Sin (V11–12)

David didn’t deny his issues but confessed them openly. God doesn’t only save the innocent—He is eager to save those who acknowledge their sins.

God can save those who "fell into the pit" and also forgive those who jumped in on their own. God never despises a person—He waits for them to confess and call on Him.

2. Pleading for God's Swift Mercy (V13–15)

David repeatedly cried “Please!” showing his urgency and sincerity: Lord, come quickly to save me! This is living prayer! God’s people don’t fake strength—they cry out honestly. And God delights to hear.

3. A Declaration of Faith: God Still Cares (V16–17)

This is David’s “declarative prayer” in hardship. Even without seeing a way out, he still believed that God cared. Hope doesn’t 
come because the problem is solved—but because God remembers you. You are not forgotten, but remembered!

Conclusion:

If you are in a “pit” today—don’t be afraid. Because the same God who personally saved David will also personally lift you up, set you on solid rock, and use you to help lift others up as well.
