A Cry For Mercy. Psalm 6-7

 

Psalm 6 -7– A Cry for Mercy

 

We can look at this Psalm as a picture of David, a picture of Jesus Christ, and a picture of Israel in the last days, and a picture of believers – you and me. This is a cry for mercy out of the depths of despair. Only mercy can save us.

The Spirit of Christ speaks prophetically of His own suffering through which He would pass in the days of His humiliation. His people, the nation Israel, that remnant in the Great Tribulation, will also pass-through suffering. Today many of God’s saints are passing through it.

Regardless of what you are going through today, He has already been through it, and He can comfort you.

In Hebrews 5:7 we are told concerning the Lord Jesus, “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was heard in that he feared.” That is our confidence today. God will hear and answer our prayer when we are in deep trouble.

 

Psalm 7 – A Cry for Revenge

 

David is crying aloud in song. It reveals prophetically the persecution and the final suffering of the God-fearing remnant of Israel during the time of the Great Tribulation. It is the outcry against the “man of sin.”

There are things in our life that we don’t understand, but He is going to explain it someday.

David cries for God to avenge and vindicate him.

“I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.” Vs. 17

God will deal with sin and wickedness, and He will finally eradicate it from His universe. Praise the Lord!
