72:20 耶西的兒子─大衛的祈禱完畢。
默想: 詩篇七十二篇是一篇為在上君王禱告的詩,這首詩特別強調一個君王必須用公義、公平來管理、判斷上帝的百姓,同時這君王所帶給人民的是公義平安,他要為受苦人伸冤,拯救窮乏的人,壓碎那些欺壓者。
從這樣的禱告詞中,我們看到,一個掌權不是勢權妄為,乃是在公義、真理之下,極積去幫助弱勢、軟弱的人。上帝設立君王,並不是要他們作威享福,而是要他們努力去促成這個社會更有公平正義,扶助弱勢,這樣才是擁有上帝所設立君王的樣式。
所以,當我們在為在上掌權者禱告時,不單是求上帝賜給他們智慧能力,也要求上帝賜給他們一個謙卑、憐憫人的心,真正能夠同理關心弱勢、需要幫助的人,好讓他能夠成為上帝的器皿,幫助那些弱勢、需要照顧的人。
題目: 詩篇七十二篇是為在上執政掌全者的禱告,有那些內容呢?

70:3 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的,因羞愧退後。
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
70:4 願一切尋求你的,因你高興歡喜;願那些喜愛你救恩的,常說:當尊 神為大!
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
70:5 但我是困苦窮乏的; 神啊,求你速速到我這裡來!你是幫助我的,搭救我的。耶和華啊,求你不要耽延!
