David's complaint in his sickness8. He triumphs over his enemies The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; This phrase reflects the psalmist's confidence in God's responsiveness to prayer. In the context of ancient Israel, crying out for mercy was a common practice, especially in times of distress or when seeking forgiveness. The Hebrew word for "cry" often implies a deep, heartfelt plea, indicating the psalmist's earnestness. The assurance that the LORD hears such cries is a recurring theme in the Psalms (e.g., Psalm 34:17). This reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is portrayed as attentive and compassionate. The concept of mercy is central to the character of God, as seen in Exodus 34:6-7, where God describes Himself as "merciful and gracious." This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament understanding of Jesus as the mediator who intercedes for believers, as seen in Hebrews 7:25. the LORD accepts my prayer. Persons / Places / Events 1.
