Psalms 57:1. Be merciful unto me, O God -
He begins with the same note as in the last Psalm; it is a note that cannot be too often on the believer’s tongue: "Be merciful unto me, O God," -
Psalms 57:1. Be merciful unto me:
As an old writer says, "The tongue of the bell strikes on both sides, and the note is the same in each case, ‘Be merciful unto me, be merciful unto me." You cannot have that petition offered too often. David feels his deep need of mercy, and the great value of mercy, and therefore he prays again and again, "Be merciful unto me, be merciful unto me."
