Psalm 109:26a "Help me, O LORD my God!"

Day 227 – Psalm 109

“Help me, O LORD my God!” Psalm 109:26a

A DESPERATE PLEA FOR HELP

The wicked would be too proud to recognize the need to seek help from God. David, in stark contrast cries out to God for help in his hour of need.

“Help me, O LORD my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
That they may know that this is Your hand-
That You, LORD, have done it!”
Psalm 109:26-27

a) There exists a strong covenantal relationship between God and His people.
b) He would always hear the prayer of those who fear Him.
c) Their cry for help would never be in vain.

2. “Oh, save me according to Your mercy”
