Hear me when I call,
God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer. 🙏
Whenever we come to God with a request, we should remember what David here remembers, that it is only a matter of mercy that God would hear his prayer. ✨
🙏 He was a great man of God, a “man after God’s own heart, ” but even he did not presume to make demands on God but instead cried out for mercy.
I come before you today, O my God, not with any confidence in my righteousness. But you are the “God of my righteousness, ” even as you were to David of old. I come to you in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and present my petition before you. I come not as collecting something due to me from you but as one who seeks your mercy.
