                                GOD'S MERCY
     David,  in communication with God, spent  most  of his  time in doing
one of two things.  When he was  NOT IN TROUBLE, he mostly said, "PRAISE YE
THE LORD."  
     IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, ONE THEME COMES TO THE  FRONT RIGHT AWAY.  He begs
for MERCY AND COMPASSION more than anything else.  Look at them: 
     Psalms 6:2 HAVE MERCY upon me, O LORD; for I  [am] weak:  O  LORD, HEAL
me;  9:13 HAVE MERCY  upon  me,  O LORD; consider my trouble   27:7 Hear, O
LORD, [when] I cry: HAVE MERCY  upon me, and ANSWER me.    30:10 Hear, O
LORD, and HAVE MERCY upon me: LORD, be thou my  HELP-ER.  41:4  LORD, BE
MERCIFUL unto me: HEAL MY SOUL; for I have sinned against thee. 41:10 But
thou, O LORD,  be MERCIFUL  UNTO ME, and RAISE ME UP,  86:3  Be  MERCIFUL
unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.       123:3 HAVE MERCY upon us, O
LORD, HAVE MERCY upon us:  
     This next one is a classic.  Psalms 109:21 But *DO THOU  FOR ME,* GOD
the Lord, for thy name's sake:.   
     It  seems  that he wanted God's help,  but  didn't know  what to ask
for.  Not such a bad idea after  all, because  one of the greatest hindrances
to   prayer  is the fact that we pray ACCORDING TO OUR OWN  UNDERSTANDING,
which is VERY FAULTY at best.  
     Matthew 15:22 --  HAVE MERCY ON ME, O LORD, 
     Matthew  17:15 Lord, HAVE MERCY ON  MY  SON:
     Isaiah  55:7 Let the wicked forsake his  way,  and the  unrighteous man
his thoughts: and let  him  return unto the LORD, and he will HAVE MERCY upon
him; and  to our God, for HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON. 
     Daniel 9:18 O my God, INCLINE THINE EAR, AND HEAR; OPEN  THINE EYES, and
behold our desolations,-- for  we do  not present our supplications before
thee  for  our righteousnesses, but for thy GREAT MERCIES.
