Psalm 30:10b "Have mercy on me..."
Day 227 – Psalm 30
“Have mercy on me…” Psalm 30:10b
AN IMPASSIONED PLEA
David’s prayer was made with deep passion. He had realized how his foolish reliance on himself caused the Lord to hide His face from him. If God had withdrawn His favour, his enemies could overthrow him! He could even lose his life in the process! The thought of possible death caused him to make this impassioned plea to the Lord.
“What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
LORD, be my helper!”
Psalm 30:9-10
