雖然詩篇七十三篇讓我們看到詩人受到疑惑困擾，但他仍然以得勝的語調開始這首詩歌：「神實在恩待以色列那些清心的人。」一般的講員總是把結論留到講道結束時才說出來，但在這裡，詩人卻以結論來開始！有些人可能覺得詩人以結論來開始顯得有點奇怪，但這在詩篇是相當常見的。原因是：詩人那麼確信神是良善的，所以他決定要從那兒開始他的詩歌。他好像在告訴我們說：「我要告訴你我是如何由疑惑邁向信靠的，但此刻我所希望你明白的是：神是良善的。」

有些解經家相信在聖殿的敬拜過程中，有公開見證和崇拜的時間，就好像古老的循道會聚會一樣，個別的弟兄姊妹向其他信徒作見證，講述神怎樣與他們相交。這其實是建立教會的屬靈生命其中一個最有力的方法，但可惜今天似乎很少教會會這樣做。

如果這首詩歌是詩人在崇拜時的見證，我們可以想像，當詩人講述他怎樣從受疑惑困擾，到對神的良善重新充滿信心時，會給聽眾帶來多大的激勵。在基督徒的生命中，如果能夠彼此分享那些幫助他們戰勝信心危機的屬靈原則，還有甚麼比這些分享更加能夠激勵人心？如果我們忽略這個原則，我們的靈性亦會處於險境。

Although in Psalm 73 the psalmist is beset by doubt, he begins, nevertheless, on a triumphant note: "Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart." Preachers usually leave their conclusion until the end of their sermon - but here the psalmist begins with it! It might seem strange to some that the psalmist should begin with a conclusion, but this is often seen in the book of Psalms. And the reason is this: the psalmist is so convinced of the fact that God is good that he decides to start right there. It is as if he is saying: "I want to tell you how I moved from doubt to faith, but the thing I want you to get right away is this: God is good."

Some commentators believe that in the Temple services there was a time of open testimony and worship, similar to that which featured in the old Methodist class meetings, when individuals gave testimonies to their fellow believers of God's dealings with them. This is one of the most powerful ways of building the spiritual life of the Church, but regrettably it does not seem to be widely practised today.

If this psalm was part of the psalmist's testimony during an open time of worship, one can imagine the impact it would have made upon the hearers as he related how he emerged from crippling doubt to renewed confidence in the goodness of God. I know of nothing more motivating in the Christian life than for believers to identify and share the spiritual principles which have enabled them to overcome attacks on their faith. When we ignore this principle we do so at our peril.
