Psalms 116:3-4

Psalms 116:3-4. I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD,

I beseech thee, deliver my soul. His prayer was a very short one, but very much to the point. Words make not prayer; they often burden it, and prevent it from flying. "Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire;" -and David, in a few earnest words, expressed that desire: "O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul."
