Prayer in Affliction. To the chief musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. 1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. 3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. The title of this psalm has one word new in it, Al-taschith--Destroy not. Some make it to be only some known tune to which this psalm was set; others apply it to the occasion and matter of the psalm. Destroy not; that is, David would not let Saul be destroyed, when now in the cave there was a fair opportunity of killing him, and his servants would fain have done so. No, says David, destroy him not, 1 Samuel 24:4 ; 1 Samuel 24:6 . Or, rather, God would not let David be destroyed by Saul; he suffered him to persecute David, but still under this limitation, Destroy him hot; as he permitted Satan to afflict Job, Only save his life. David must not be destroyed, for a blessing is in him ( Isaiah 65:8 ), even Christ, the best of blessings. When David was in the cave, in imminent peril, he here tells us what were the workings of his heart towards God; and happy are those that have such good thoughts as these in their minds when they are in danger! I. He supports himself with faith and hope in God, and prayer to him, Psalms 57:1 ; Psalms 57:2 . Seeing himself surrounded with enemies, he looks up to God with that suitable prayer: Be merciful to me, O Lord! which he again repeats, and it is no vain repetition: Be merciful unto me. It was the publican's prayer, Luke 18:13 . It is a pity that any should use it slightly and profanely, should cry, God be merciful to us, or, Lord, have mercy upon us, when they mean only to express their wonder, or surprise, or vexation, but God and his mercy are not in all their thoughts. It is with much devout affection that David here prays, " Be merciful unto me, O Lord! look with compassion upon me, and in thy love and pity redeem me." To recommend himself to God's mercy, he here professes, 1. That all his dependence is upon God: My soul trusteth in thee, Psalms 57:1 ; Psalms 57:1 . He did not only profess to trust in God, but his soul did indeed rely on God only, with a sincere devotion and self-dedication, and an entire complacency and satisfaction. He goes to God, and, at the footstool of the throne of his grace, humbly professes his confidence in him: In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, as the chickens take shelter under the wings of the hen when the birds of prey are ready to strike at them, until these calamities be over-past. (1.) He was confident his troubles would end well, in due time; these calamities will be over-past; the storm will blow over. Non si male nunc et olim sic erit--Though now distressed, I shall not always be so. Our Lord Jesus comforted himself with this in his sufferings, Luke 22:37 . The things concerning me have an end. (2.) He was very easy under the divine protection in the mean time. [1.] He comforted himself in the goodness of God's nature, by which he is inclined to succour and protect his people, as the hen is by instinct to shelter her young ones. God comes upon the wing to the help of his people, which denotes a speedy deliverance ( Psalms 18:10 ); and he takes them under his wing, which denotes warmth and refreshment, even when the calamities are upon them; see Matthew 23:37 . [2.] In the promise of his word and the covenant of his grace; for it may refer to the out-stretched wings of the cherubim, between which God is said to dwell ( Psalms 80:1 ) and whence he gave his oracles. "To God, as the God of grace, will I fly, and his promise shall be my refuge, and a sure passport it will be through all these danger." God, by his promise, offers himself to us, to be trusted; we by our faith must accept of him, and put our trust in him. 2. That all his desire is towards God ( Psalms 57:2 ; Psalms 57:2 ): " I will cry unto God most high, for succour and relief; to him that is most high will I lift up my soul, and pray earnestly, even unto God that performs all things for me. " Note, (1.) In every thing that befalls us we ought to see and own the hand of God; whatever is done is of his performing; in it his counsel is accomplished and the scripture is fulfilled. (2.) Whatever God performs concerning his people, it will appear, in the issue, to have been performed for them and for their benefit. Though God be high, most high, yet he condescends so low as to take care that all things be made to work for good to them. (3.) This is a good reason why we should, in all our straits and difficulties, cry unto him, not only pray, but pray earnestly. 3. That all his expectation is from God ( Psalms 57:3 ; Psalms 57:3 ): He shall send from heaven, and save me. Those that make God their only refuge, and fly to him by faith and prayer, may be sure of salvation, in his way and time. Observe here, (1.) Whence he expects the salvation--from heaven. Look which way he will, in this earth, refuge fails, no help appears; but he looks for it from heaven. Those that lift up their hearts to things above may thence expect all good. (2.) What the salvation is that he expects. He trusts that God will save him from the reproach of those that would swallow him up, that aimed to ruin him, and, in the mean time, did all they could to vex him. Some read it, He shall send from heaven and save me, for he has put to shame him that would swallow me up; he has disappointed their designs against me hitherto, and therefore he will perfect my deliverance. (3.) What he will ascribe his salvation to: God shall send forth his mercy and truth. God is good in himself and faithful to every word that he has spoken, and so he makes it appear when he works deliverance for his people. We need no more to make us happy than to have the benefit of the mercy and truth of God, Psalms 25:10 . II. He represents the power and malice of his enemies ( Psalms 57:4 ; Psalms 57:4 ): My soul is among lions. So fierce and furious was Saul, and those about him, against David, that he might have been as safe in a den of lions as among such men, who were continually roaring against him and ready to make a prey of him. They are set on fire, and breathe nothing but flame; they set on fire the course of nature, inflaming one another against David, and they were themselves set on fire of hell, James 3:6 . They were sons of men, from whom one might have expected something of the reason and compassion of a man; but they were beasts of prey in the shape of men; their teeth, which they gnashed upon him, and with which they hoped to tear him to pieces and to eat him up, were spears and arrows fitted for mischiefs and murders; and their tongue, with which they cursed him and wounded his reputation, was as a sharp sword to cut and kill; see Psalms 42:10 . A spiteful tongue is a dangerous weapon, wherewith Satan's instruments fight against God's people. He describes their malicious projects against him ( Psalms 57:6 ; Psalms 57:6 ) and shows the issue of them: " They have prepared a net for my steps, in which to take me, that I might not again escape out of their hands; they have digged a pit before me, that I might, ere I was aware, run headlong into it." See the policies of the church's enemies; see the pains they take to do mischief. But let us see what comes of it. 1. It is indeed some disturbance to David: My soul is bowed down. It made him droop, and hang the head, to think that there should be those that bore him so much ill-will. But, 2. It was destruction to themselves; they dug a pit for David, into the midst whereof they have fallen. The mischief they designed against David returned upon themselves, and they were embarrassed in their counsels; then when Saul was pursuing David the Philistines were invading him; nay, in the cave, when Saul thought David should fall into his hands, he fell into the hands of David, and lay at his mercy. III. He prays to God to glorify himself and his own great name ( Psalms 57:5 ; Psalms 57:5 ): "Whatever becomes of me and my interest, be thou exalted, O God! above the heavens, be thou praised by the holy angels, those glorious inhabitants of the upper world; and let thy glory be above or over all the earth; let all the inhabitants of this earth be brought to know and praise thee." Thus God's glory should lie hearer our hearts, and we should be more concerned for it, than for any particular interests of our own. When David was in the greatest distress and disgrace he did not pray, Lord, exalt me, but, Lord, exalt thy own name. Thus the Son of David, when his soul was troubled, and he prayed, Father, save me from this hour, immediately withdrew that petition, and presented this in the room of it, For this cause came I to this hour; Father, glorify thy name, John 12:27 ; John 12:28 . Or it may be taken as a plea to enforce his petition for deliverance: "Lord, send from heaven to save me, and thereby thou wilt glorify thyself as the God both of heaven and earth." Our best encouragement in prayer is taken from the glory of God, and to that therefore, more than our own comfort, we should have an eye in all our petitions for particular mercies; for this is made the first petition in the Lord's prayer, as that which regulates and directs all the rest, Father in heaven, hallowed by thy name. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-7-11" class="com-number"

환난 중의 기도. *지휘자를 위하여. 알다스헷에 맞춘 다윗의 믹담. 다윗이 사울을 피하여 굴에 있을 때.*
> 1 하나님이여, 나에게 자비를 베푸소서. 나에게 자비를 베푸소서. 내 영혼이 주께 의지하오니, 내가 주의 날개 그늘 아래에 피하여 이 재앙들이 지나가기까지 기다리겠습니다. 2 나는 지극히 높으신 하나님께 부르짖겠습니다. 나를 위해 모든 것을 이루시는 하나님께 부르짖겠습니다. 3 하나님이 하늘에서 보내시어 나를 구원하시리니, 나를 삼키려는 자의 비방에서 벗어나게 하실 것입니다. (셀라) 하나님이 그의 자비와 진실을 보내주실 것입니다. 4 내 영혼이 사자들 가운데 있으며, 내가 불처럼 타오르는 자들 가운데 누워 있습니다. 그들의 이는 창과 화살이며, 그들의 혀는 날카로운 칼입니다. 5 하나님이여, 주는 하늘 위에 높이 들리시며, 주의 영광이 온 땅 위에 넘치소서. 6 그들이 내 발걸음에 그물을 쳤으며, 내 영혼이 굽어졌습니다. 그들이 내 앞에 구덩이를 팠으나, 그들 자신이 그 한가운데에 빠졌습니다. (셀라)
**I. 믿음과 소망으로 하나님께 의지함 (1-2절)**
다윗은 원수들에게 포위된 자신을 보며 하나님을 우러러보고 "하나님이여, 내게 자비를 베푸소서"라고 간구한다. 이 간구를 다시 반복하는데, 이는 헛된 반복이 아니다. 이것은 세리의 기도와도 같다(눅 18:13). 다윗이 이 기도에서 표명하는 것은 세 가지다.
첫째, 하나님을 향한 전적인 의지이다. "내 영혼이 주께 의지하오니"(1절). 그는 말뿐만 아니라 영혼 깊이 하나님만 의지하며, 진실한 헌신과 완전한 만족 가운데 하나님 앞에 선다. "주의 날개 그늘 아래에 피하겠습니다"라고 고백하는데, 이는 마치 병아리가 맹금류의 공격을 피해 어미 닭의 날개 아래 숨는 것과 같다. 이 재앙들이 지나가기까지 그렇게 하겠다는 것이다.
(1) 그는 자신의 고난이 결국 잘 끝날 것임을 확신했다. "이 재앙들이 지나갈 것이다." 폭풍은 잠잠해질 것이다. 다윗이신 예수께서도 고난 중에 이것으로 위로를 받으셨다. "나에 관한 일들이 끝날 것이다"(눅 22:37).
(2) 그 사이에도 그는 하나님의 보호 아래서 평안히 쉬었다. [1] 그는 하나님의 선하신 본성에서 위안을 얻었다. 하나님은 어미 닭이 본능적으로 새끼를 품듯이 자기 백성을 돌보고 보호하신다. 하나님은 날개 펴고 오셔서 도우시는데(시 18:10), 이는 빠른 구원을 뜻한다. 그리고 자기 백성을 날개 아래 품으시는데, 이는 재앙 가운데서도 온기와 안식을 뜻한다(마 23:37). [2] 그는 또한 하나님의 말씀의 약속과 은혜의 언약에서 위안을 얻었다. 하나님은 약속으로 자신을 내주어 신뢰받으시며, 우리는 믿음으로 그를 받아들이고 그를 의지해야 한다.
둘째, 하나님을 향한 전적인 소원이다(2절). "지극히 높으신 하나님께 부르짖겠습니다. 나를 위해 모든 것을 이루시는 하나님께." 우리에게 일어나는 모든 일에서 하나님의 손을 보고 인정해야 한다. 어떤 일이 일어나든 하나님이 행하시는 것이다. 그분의 경륜이 이루어지고 성경의 말씀이 성취된다. 그리고 하나님이 그 백성을 위해 이루시는 모든 일은 결국 그들을 위한 것이 된다. 그러므로 우리는 모든 어려움 가운데 그에게 부르짖어야 한다.
셋째, 하나님을 향한 전적인 기대이다(3절). "하나님이 하늘에서 보내시어 나를 구원하시리라." 하나님을 유일한 피난처로 삼고 믿음과 기도로 그에게 달려가는 자는 반드시 구원을 받는다. 구원이 어디서 오는가? 하늘에서 온다. 이 땅 어디를 봐도 피난처가 없고 도움이 보이지 않는다. 그러나 하늘을 바라본다. 무엇이 구원인가? 그를 삼키려 했던 자들의 비방에서 건짐을 받는 것이다. 무엇에 그 구원을 돌릴 것인가? "하나님이 자비와 진실을 보내주실 것이다"(시 25:10).
**II. 원수의 능력과 악의 묘사 (4, 6절)**
"내 영혼이 사자들 가운데 있다"(4절). 사울과 그 주변 사람들은 너무나 맹렬하고 난폭하여, 다윗은 그들 사이에 있는 것이 사자 굴 속에 있는 것과 다를 바 없었다. 그들은 불처럼 타오르고, 야고보서 3:6에서 말하듯 지옥 불에 붙어 있었다. 그들은 사람의 형체를 한 짐승이었다. 그들의 이는 창과 화살이요, 그들의 혀는 날카로운 칼이었다(시 42:10).
다윗은 또한 그들의 악한 계획과 그 결말을 묘사한다(6절). "그들이 내 발걸음에 그물을 쳤고, 내 앞에 구덩이를 팠다." 그러나 그 결과를 보라. (1) 이것은 다윗을 어느 정도 낙심하게 했다. "내 영혼이 굽어졌다." 그는 자신을 그토록 미워하는 자들이 있다는 사실에 머리를 숙였다. (2) 그러나 그것은 원수들 자신의 멸망이 되었다. 다윗을 위해 판 구덩이에 그들 자신이 빠졌다. 사울이 굴에서 다윗이 자기 손에 떨어질 것이라 생각했을 때, 오히려 그가 다윗의 손에 떨어져 자비를 구하게 되었다.
**III. 하나님의 이름을 영화롭게 하는 기도 (5절)**
"주는 하늘 위에 높이 들리시며, 주의 영광이 온 땅 위에 넘치소서"(5절). 다윗은 자신이나 자신의 일에 대해 "나를 높여 달라"고 기도하지 않고, "주의 이름을 높여 달라"고 기도한다. 다윗이신 예수께서도 "아버지여, 나를 이 시간에서 구원하여 주소서"라고 기도하셨다가 즉시 그 간구를 거두고 이렇게 말씀하셨다. "내가 이를 위하여 이 때에 왔노라. 아버지여, 아버지의 이름을 영광스럽게 하소서"(요 12:27-28). 또는 이것을 구원을 간구하는 탄원의 근거로 볼 수도 있다. "주님, 하늘에서 보내시어 나를 구원하심으로써 주께서 하늘과 땅의 하나님이심을 영화롭게 하소서." 기도에서 우리가 가장 잘 의지할 근거는 하나님의 영광이다. 그러므로 우리는 모든 간구에서 우리 자신의 위안보다 하나님의 영광에 더 눈을 두어야 한다.

P S A L M S PSALM LVII. This psalm is very much like that which goes next before it; it was penned upon a like occasion, when David was both in danger of trouble and in temptation to sin; it begins as that did, "Be merciful to me;" the method also is the same. I. He begins with prayer and complaint, yet not without some assurance of speeding in his request, Psalms 57:1-6 . II. He concludes with joy and praise, Psalms 57:7-11 . So that hence we may take direction and encouragement, both in our supplications and in our thanksgivings, and may offer both to God, in singing this psalm. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-6" class="com-number"

시편 57편은 바로 앞에 나오는 시편과 매우 유사하다. 다윗이 위험 앞에 처함과 동시에 죄의 유혹을 받던 비슷한 상황에서 기록된 시이다. "내게 자비를 베푸소서"라는 말로 시작되는 구조도 앞 편과 동일하다. 이 시편은 두 부분으로 나뉜다. 첫째, 다윗은 기도와 탄식으로 시작하되, 자신의 간구가 이루어질 것이라는 확신을 잃지 않는다(시 57:1-6). 둘째, 기쁨과 찬양으로 마무리된다(시 57:7-11). 이 시편은 간구와 감사 두 영역 모두에서 우리에게 방향과 격려를 제공하며, 우리는 이 시를 노래함으로써 하나님께 두 가지 모두를 올려드릴 수 있다.
표제에는 '알다스헷'이라는 새로운 단어가 등장하는데, 이는 "멸하지 마소서"를 뜻한다. 어떤 이들은 이것이 단순히 이 시편이 맞추어진 알려진 곡조라고 보고, 또 어떤 이들은 시편의 배경과 주제와 연결 짓는다. "멸하지 마소서"란, 다윗이 사울을 죽이지 않았음을 가리킨다는 것이다. 굴 안에서 사울을 죽일 절호의 기회가 있었고 신하들이 그렇게 하기를 원했지만, 다윗은 "그를 멸하지 말라"고 말했다(삼상 24:4, 6). 혹은, 더 적절하게는, 하나님께서 사울로 하여금 다윗을 멸하지 못하게 하셨다는 뜻으로 볼 수 있다. 하나님은 사울이 다윗을 박해하도록 허용하셨지만, "그를 멸하지 말라"는 한계 아래서만 그리하셨다. 이는 욥을 고통 중에 두면서도 "그의 목숨만은 살려 두라"고 명하신 것과 같다. 다윗은 멸망해서는 안 된다. 이사야 65:8이 말하는 것처럼 "그 안에 복이 있기" 때문이다. 곧, 모든 복의 근원이신 그리스도가 그에게서 나올 것이기 때문이다.
다윗이 굴 안에서 극도의 위험 가운데 있을 때 하나님을 향한 그의 마음이 어떠했는지를 이 시편은 보여 준다. 위험 속에서 이와 같은 선한 생각을 품는 자는 복이 있다.

Prayer Turned to Praise. 7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. 10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. 11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. How strangely is the tune altered here! David's prayers and complaints, by the lively actings of faith, are here, all of a sudden, turned into praises and thanksgivings; his sackcloth is loosed, he is girded with gladness, and his hallelujahs are as fervent as his hosannas. This should make us in love with prayer, that, sooner or later, it will be swallowed up in praise. Observe, I. How he prepares himself for the duty of praise ( Psalms 57:7 ; Psalms 57:7 ): My heart is fixed, O God! my heart is fixed. My heart is erect, or lifted up (so some), which was bowed down, Psalms 57:6 ; Psalms 57:6 . My heart is fixed, 1. With reference to God's providences; it is prepared for every event, being stayed upon God, Psalms 112:7 ; Isaiah 26:3 . My heart is fixed, and then none of these things move me, Acts 20:24 If by the grace of God we be brought into this even composed frame of spirit, we have great reason to be thankful. 2. With reference to the worship of God: My heart is fixed to sing and give praise. It is implied that the heart is the main thing required in all acts of devotion; nothing is done to purpose, in religion, further than it is done with the heart. The heart must be fixed, fixed for the duty, fitted and put in frame for it, fixed in the duty by a close application, attending on the Lord without distraction. II. How he excites himself to the duty of praise ( Psalms 57:8 ; Psalms 57:8 ): Awake up my glory, that is, my tongue (our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when it is employed in praising God), or my soul, that must be first awakened; dull and sleepy devotions will never be acceptable to God. We must stir up ourselves, and all that is within us, to praise God; with a holy fire must that sacrifice be kindled, and ascend in a holy flame. David's tongue will lead, and his psaltery and harp will follow, in these hymns of praise. I myself will awake, not only, "I will not be dead, and drowsy, and careless, in this work," but, "I will be in the most lively frame, as one newly awakened out of a refreshing sleep." He will awake early to this work, early in the morning, to begin the day with God, early in the beginnings of a mercy. When God is coming towards us with his favours we must go forth to meet him with our praises. III. How he pleases himself, and (as I may say) even prides himself, in the work of praise; so far is he from being ashamed to own his obligations to God, and dependence upon him, that he resolves to praise him among the people and to sing unto him among the nations, Psalms 57:9 ; Psalms 57:9 . This intimates, 1. That his own heart was much affected and enlarged in praising God; he would even make the earth ring with his sacred songs, that all might take notice how much he thought himself indebted to the goodness of God. 2. That he desired to bring others in to join with him in praising God. He will publish God's praises among the people, that the knowledge, and fear, and love of God might be propagated, and the ends of the earth might see his salvation. When David was driven out into heathen lands he would not only not worship their gods, but he would openly avow his veneration for the God of Israel, would take his religion along with him wherever he went, would endeavour to bring others in love with it, and leave the sweet savour of it behind him. David, in his psalms, which fill the universal church, and will to the end of time, may be said to be still praising God among the people and singing to him among the nations; for all good people make use of his words in praising God. Thus St. John, in his writings, is said to prophesy again before many peoples and nations, Revelation 10:11 . IV. How he furnishes himself with matter for praise, Psalms 57:10 ; Psalms 57:10 . That which was the matter of his hope and comfort ( God shall send forth his mercy and his truth, Psalms 57:3 ; Psalms 57:3 ) is here the matter of his thanksgiving: Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, great beyond conception and expression; and thy truth unto the clouds, great beyond discovery, for what eye can reach that which is wrapped up in the clouds? God's mercy and truth reach to the heavens, for they will bring all such to heaven as lay up their treasure in them and build their hopes upon them. God's mercy and truth are praised even to the heavens, that is, by all the bright and blessed inhabitants of the upper world, who are continually exalting God's praises to the highest, while David, on earth, is endeavouring to spread his praises to the furthest, Psalms 57:9 ; Psalms 57:9 . V. How he leaves it at last to God to glorify his own name ( Psalms 57:11 ; Psalms 57:11 ): Be thou exalted, O God! The same words which he had used ( Psalms 57:5 ; Psalms 57:5 ) to sum up his prayers in he here uses again (and no vain repetition) to sum up his praises in: "Lord, I desire to exalt thy name, and that all the creatures may exalt it; but what can the best of us do towards it? Lord, take the work into thy own hands; do it thyself: Be thou exalted, O God! In the praises of the church triumphant thou art exalted to the heavens, and in the praises of the church militant thy glory is throughout all the earth; but thou art above all the blessing and praise of both ( Nehemiah 9:5 ), and therefore, Lord, exalt thyself above the heavens and above all the earth. Father, glorify thy own name. Thou hast glorified it, glorify it yet again.

기도가 찬양으로 바뀜.
> 7 하나님이여, 내 마음이 확정되었습니다. 내 마음이 확정되었습니다. 내가 노래하며 찬양을 드리겠습니다. 8 내 영광이여, 깨어나라. 비파여, 수금이여, 깨어나라. 내가 새벽을 깨우겠습니다. 9 내가 민족들 가운데서 주께 감사하며, 나라들 가운데서 주를 찬양하겠습니다. 10 주의 자비가 하늘에 이르고, 주의 진실이 구름에까지 미칩니다. 11 하나님이여, 주는 하늘 위에 높이 들리시며, 주의 영광이 온 땅 위에 넘치소서.
이 구절들은 어찌 이리 곡조가 달라졌는가! 다윗의 기도와 탄식이 믿음의 생생한 활동으로 인해 갑자기 찬양과 감사로 바뀌었다. 굵은 베 옷이 풀리고 기쁨의 띠를 띠었으며, 그의 할렐루야는 호산나만큼이나 뜨거웠다. 이는 기도를 사랑하게 만드는 이유이다. 결국 기도는 찬양 속에 삼켜질 것이기 때문이다.
**I. 찬양을 위한 준비 (7절)**
"내 마음이 확정되었습니다, 하나님이여! 내 마음이 확정되었습니다." 6절에서 "굽어졌다"던 마음이 이제 세워졌다. 첫째, 하나님의 섭리에 대한 마음의 확정이다. 어떤 일이 와도 대비되어 있으며, 하나님을 의지하고 고요함을 유지한다(시 112:7; 사 26:3). "내 마음이 확정되었으니 이 일들이 나를 움직이지 못한다"(행 20:24). 하나님의 은혜로 이 평온하고 안정된 마음 상태에 이른다면 크게 감사할 이유가 된다. 둘째, 하나님께 예배드리는 일에 대한 마음의 확정이다. "내 마음이 노래하며 찬양드리기로 확정되었습니다." 예배의 모든 행위에서 마음이 가장 중요한 것임을 의미한다. 종교에서 마음으로 하지 않는 것은 아무 소용이 없다.
**II. 찬양을 향한 자기 독려 (8절)**
"내 영광이여, 깨어나라." 우리의 혀가 우리의 영광이며, 하나님을 찬양하는 데 쓰일 때 더욱 그러하다. 아니면 영혼이 먼저 깨어나야 한다. 둔하고 졸린 예배는 하나님께 결코 받아들여지지 않는다. 자신과 내면의 모든 것을 분발시켜 하나님을 찬양해야 한다. 거룩한 불로 그 제물에 불을 붙이고 거룩한 불꽃으로 타올라야 한다. 다윗의 혀가 앞장서고 비파와 수금이 뒤따를 것이다. "내가 새벽을 깨우겠다"고 했다. 단지 죽은 듯 졸리는 자가 되지 않겠다는 것만이 아니라, 새로운 잠에서 막 깨어난 사람처럼 가장 생기 넘치는 상태로 있겠다는 것이다. 이른 아침에 하나님께 먼저 나아가 하루를 그분으로 시작하는 것, 은혜의 시작부터 곧바로 나아가는 것이다.
**III. 찬양의 사역에서 기쁨과 열정 (9절)**
"내가 민족들 가운데서 주께 감사하며, 나라들 가운데서 주를 찬양하겠습니다." 이는 두 가지를 의미한다. 첫째, 그의 마음이 하나님을 찬양하는 일에 크게 열리고 넓어졌다는 것이다. 온 땅이 그의 거룩한 노래로 울려 퍼지게 하여 모든 이들이 그가 얼마나 하나님의 선하심에 빚진 자라고 생각하는지 알게 할 것이다. 둘째, 그는 다른 이들도 하나님을 찬양하는 일에 함께하기를 원했다. 그는 민족들에게 하나님의 찬양을 공포하여 하나님에 대한 지식과 경외와 사랑이 전파되게 하고, 땅 끝까지 그의 구원을 보게 하기를 원했다. 다윗이 이방 땅에 내몰렸을 때 그들의 신들을 섬기지 않았을 뿐만 아니라, 이스라엘의 하나님께 대한 경외심을 공개적으로 표명하고 가는 곳마다 그 종교를 가지고 다녔다. 다윗은 그의 시편들을 통해 지금도 민족들 가운데서 하나님을 찬양하고 있다. 온 교회가 그의 말을 사용해 하나님을 찬양하기 때문이다. 이처럼 사도 요한도 그의 글을 통해 많은 민족과 나라 앞에서 다시 예언한다고 말할 수 있다(계 10:11).
**IV. 찬양의 재료 (10절)**
다윗의 소망과 위안의 근거였던 것("하나님이 자비와 진실을 보내주실 것이다", 3절)이 이제 감사의 근거가 된다. "주의 자비가 하늘에 이르고, 주의 진실이 구름에까지 미칩니다." 하나님의 자비와 진실은 하늘에 미치도록 크다. 하나님의 자비와 진실은 하늘로 찬양받는다. 다시 말해, 위의 밝고 복된 세계의 모든 거주자들이 하나님의 찬양을 가장 높이 찬양하는 반면, 다윗은 땅에서 그 찬양을 가장 멀리 퍼뜨리려 한다(9절).
**V. 하나님 스스로 영광 받으시기를 간구함 (11절)**
"하나님이여, 주는 하늘 위에 높이 들리시며, 주의 영광이 온 땅 위에 넘치소서." 5절에서 기도의 결론으로 사용한 것과 동일한 말씀을 찬양의 결론으로 다시 사용한다(이것은 헛된 반복이 아니다). "주님, 저는 주의 이름을 높이고 싶습니다. 그러나 저와 같은 자가 무엇을 할 수 있겠습니까? 주님, 친히 이 일을 맡아 행하소서. 주님 스스로 높이 드러나소서!" 개선 교회의 찬양 속에서 주님은 하늘에서 높임을 받으시고, 전투하는 교회의 찬양 속에서 그 영광이 온 땅에 미친다. 그러나 주님은 두 교회의 모든 송축과 찬양 위에 계신다(느 9:5). "아버지여, 주의 이름을 영화롭게 하소서. 이미 영화롭게 하셨사오니 다시 영화롭게 하소서."
