Psalms 57:1 KJV
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
The Psalmist makes this request for mercy
Not based upon his own goodness
Not based upon anything he had done
But based upon his trust in the Lord
He says that it is his "soul" that trusts in the Lord. It was not his mind, it was not his intellect. It was his soul; that vital part of himself that really animates everything else.
Sometimes a person may not act like they trust in the Lord
Sometimes a person may not mentally believe they trust in the Lord
Sometimes we might emotionally not feel like we trust in the Lord
The issue is what is happening in your soul? Is there a drawing to Christ that takes place in your soul? Is there something that can't turn from the Lord but must seek and appeal to Him? Does your soul trust in Him?
Then ask for His mercy and hide in the shadow of His wings. The calamities will overpass one day. We will be in His glorious presence and experience only God's greatest joys. Trust in Him and ask for His mercy.
