A Forcible Plea
Psalm 6:2
Have mercy on me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.


The tears of our misery are forcible arrows to pierce the heart of our heavenly Father, to deliver us and pity our hard case. The beggars lay open their sores to the view of the world, that the more they may move men to pity them. So let us deplore our miseries to God, that He, with the pitiful Samaritan, at the sight of our wounds may help us in due time.

(A. Symson B. D.)
