哀三24 我的魂说，耶和华是我的分；因此，我要仰望祂。

　　西一12 感谢父，叫你们够资格在光中同得所分给众圣徒的分。

　　诗七三26 我的肉体和我的心肠衰残，但神是我心里的磐石，又是我的业分，直到永远。

　　我信〔哀歌三章二十二至二十三节〕这话是耶利米在早晨接触主，回想他百姓一切的困苦时临到他的。耶利米在回想这些困苦时，必定为以色列人的罪恶懊悔。这时耶和华的话临到他说，无论祂怎样惩罚以色列，祂并没有完全消灭他们。耶利米和其他许多人还存留下来。这是神的慈爱。耶利米领悟他和所有其他还与他一同存留下来的人，都在神的怜恤之下，就赞美说，“因祂的怜恤不至断绝。”（22下）以色列人失败了，但神的怜恤不至断绝。祂的怜恤保守了以色列余民。……耶利米继续提到耶和华的怜恤，说，“每早晨这些都是新的。”（23上）这指明耶利米每早晨都接触主这怜恤者。借着他与主的接触，他得着了关于祂的慈爱、怜恤与信实的这话。

　　神的怜恤不至断绝，因为祂是信实者〔23下〕。神的信实是指祂的话。祂的信实也与祂的约有关。因着神与亚伯拉罕立了约，并与以撒和雅各坚定了这约，祂就必须信实地遵守祂的话（耶利米哀歌生命读经，九至一○页）。

　　Lam. 3:24 Jehovah is my portion, says my soul; therefore I hope in Him.

　　Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.

　　Psa. 73:26 My flesh and my heart fail, but God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.

　　I believe that [Lamentations 3:22 and 23] came to Jeremiah as he was contacting the Lord in the morning, reviewing all the afflictions of his people. While Jeremiah was reviewing these afflictions, he must have regretted the sinfulness of Israel. At this juncture the word of Jehovah came to him, that no matter how much He had punished Israel, He had not utterly consumed them. Jeremiah and many others remained. This was God’s lovingkindness. Realizing that he and all the others who remained with him were under God’s compassions, Jeremiah praised, saying, “For His compassions do not fail” (v. 22b). The people of Israel had failed, but God’s compassions did not fail. His compassions had preserved the remnant of Israel. Referring to Jehovah’s compassions, Jeremiah went on to say, “They are new every morning” (v. 23a). This indicates that Jeremiah contacted the Lord as the compassionate One every morning. It was through his contact with the Lord that he received this word regarding His lovingkindness, compassions, and faithfulness. God’s compassions do not fail, because He is the faithful One [v. 23b]. The faithfulness of God refers to His word. His faithfulness is also related to His covenant. Because He had made a covenant with Abraham and confirmed it with Isaac and Jacob, God had to be faithful to keep His word. (Life-study of Lamentations, pp. 6-7)

　　诗篇七十三篇二至十六节记载寻求神之诗人的受苦和困惑。二节……指明诗人因着恶人兴旺而几乎绊跌（3~12）。……这虔诚寻求神的人在受苦，但他若告诉别人关于他的情况，别人就会绊跌，并且会说，“凡遵守律法的必兴旺。”然而这里有一个人遵守律法，却一点也不兴旺。

　　在十七至二十八节，我们看见诗人在神的圣所里得着了解答。……今天神的圣所在哪里？首先，神的圣所，祂的居所，是在我们灵里；第二，神的圣所乃是召会。因此，我们要进入神的圣所，就需要转向我们的灵，并参加召会的聚会。我们一在圣所里—在灵里并在召会中，就会对恶人的情形有另一种看法，有特别的领会。

　　诗人进了神的圣所，就能看清恶人被安在滑地，掉在荒废之中（18）。这使诗人说，“他们转眼之间，成了何等的荒凉！他们被惊恐灭尽了。人睡醒了怎样看梦，主啊，你醒了，也必照样轻看他们的影像。”（19~20）

　　〔二十五节〕启示，单纯寻求神的人以神作他在天上唯一的产业，在地上独一的爱慕。神是诗人独一的目标；诗人除了神并得着神以外，不在意任何事物。在这事上，保罗也是这样。保罗在腓立比三章八节说，他将万事看作粪土，为要赢得基督。……〔在诗篇七十三篇二十六节，〕诗人得到关于他受苦和恶人兴旺之问题的解答。不在意神的人也许赢得许多事物，并且似乎也兴旺。然而，在意神的人会受神限制，甚至被神剥夺许多事物。……这正是约伯所遭遇的（诗篇生命读经，四三四至四三六页）。

　　[Psalm 73:2-16 is] a record of the sufferings and puzzles of the God-seeking psalmist. Verse 2…indicates that the psalmist was nearly stumbled by the situation concerning the prosperity of the wicked (vv. 3-12)….This pious seeker of God was suffering, but if he had told others about his situation, they would have been stumbled and would have said, “Whoever keeps the law will be prosperous.” However, here is one who kept the law, yet was not at all prosperous.

　　In verses 17 through 28 we see that the psalmist obtained the solution in the sanctuary of God….Where is God’s sanctuary today? First, God’s sanctuary, His habitation, is in our spirit. Second, God’s sanctuary is the church. Thus, to go into the sanctuary of God, we need to turn to our spirit and then go to the meetings of the church. Once we are in the sanctuary— in the spirit and in the church—we will have another view, a particular perception, of the situation concerning the wicked.

　　Having gone into the sanctuary of God, the psalmist could perceive that the wicked were set in slippery places to be cast down into ruins (v. 18). This caused the psalmist to say, “How they are made desolate in a moment! / They are utterly consumed by terrors. / Like a dream when one awakes, You, O Lord, / Upon arising, will despise their image” (vv. 19-20).

　　Verse 25 reveals that God’s pure seeker would have God as his only possession in heaven and his unique desire on earth. God was the psalmist’s unique goal. The psalmist did not care for anything except God and gaining Him. In this matter, Paul was the same. In Philippians 3:8 Paul said that he counted all things as refuse in order to gain Christ….In Psalm 73:26 we have the answer to the psalmist’s question concerning his suffering and the prosperity of the wicked. The one who does not care for God may gain many things and seem to prosper. However, the one who cares for God will be restricted by God and even stripped by God of many things….This is what happened to Job. (Life-study of the Psalms, pp. 353-355)
