虽然诗篇七十三篇让我们看到诗人受到疑惑困扰，但他仍然以得胜的语调开始这首诗歌：「神实在恩待以色列那些清心的人。」一般的讲员总是把结论留到讲道结束时才说出来，但在这里，诗人却以结论来开始！有些人可能觉得诗人以结论来开始显得有点奇怪，但这在诗篇是相当常见的。原因是：诗人那么确信神是良善的，所以他决定要从那儿开始他的诗歌。他好像在告诉我们说：「我要告诉你我是如何由疑惑迈向信靠的，但此刻我所希望你明白的是：神是良善的。」

有些解经家相信在圣殿的敬拜过程中，有公开见证和崇拜的时间，就好像古老的循道会聚会一样，个别的弟兄姊妹向其他信徒作见证，讲述神怎样与他们相交。这其实是建立教会的属灵生命其中一个最有力的方法，但可惜今天似乎很少教会会这样做。

如果这首诗歌是诗人在崇拜时的见证，我们可以想像，当诗人讲述他怎样从受疑惑困扰，到对神的良善重新充满信心时，会给听众带来多大的激励。在基督徒的生命中，如果能够彼此分享那些帮助他们战胜信心危机的属灵原则，还有甚么比这些分享更加能够激励人心？如果我们忽略这个原则，我们的灵性亦会处于险境。

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.
