Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

3 Have mercy upon us, O L ORD , have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. The solemn profession which God's people make of faith and hope in God,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

We find little mercy with men; their tender mercies are cruel; there are cruel mockings. But this is our comfort, that with the Lord there is mercy and we need desire no more to relieve us, and make us easy, than the mercy of God. Whatever the troubles of the church are, God's mercy is a sovereign remedy.
