Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
AMEN
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.
David 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 own righteousness.
But you are the “God of my righteousness, ” even as you were to David of old.
I come to your 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. Amen.
