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., <a href="/psalms/34-17.htm">Psalm 34:17</a>). 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 <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6-7</a>, 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 <a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>.<p><b>the LORD accepts my prayer.</b><br>The acceptance of prayer by the LORD signifies a relationship where God not only hears but also responds favorably to the petitions of His people. In the cultural and historical context of the Old Testament, prayer was a vital part of worship and communication with God. The assurance of acceptance implies that the psalmist's prayer aligns with God's will, a concept echoed in 1 <a href="/john/5-14.htm">John 5:14-15</a>, where believers are encouraged to pray according to God's will. This acceptance can also be seen as a type of Christ, who, through His sacrifice, made it possible for believers to approach God with confidence, as stated in <a href="/hebrews/4-16.htm">Hebrews 4:16</a>. The phrase underscores the faithfulness of God to His promises and His willingness to engage with His people, providing comfort and assurance to those who seek Him earnestly.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>- Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/6.htm">Psalm 6</a>, David is expressing his deep distress and seeking God's mercy.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>- The covenant name of God, emphasizing His faithfulness and relationship with His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/prayer.htm">Prayer</a></b><br>- The act of communicating with God, which in this context is a plea for mercy and deliverance.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/cry_for_mercy.htm">Cry for Mercy</a></b><br>- David's earnest plea for God's compassion and intervention in his time of need.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/acceptance_by_god.htm">Acceptance by God</a></b><br>- The assurance that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_attentiveness.htm">God's Attentiveness</a></b><br>God is not distant or indifferent; He is attentive to the cries of His people.
