Help, Lord.
Psalm 12:1
but seasonable,
sententious,
and suggestive.
David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his
heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator.
---There is much of directness, clearness of perception, and distinctness of utterance
in this petition of two words; much more, indeed, than in the long
rambling outpourings of certain professors.
---The Psalmist runs
straight-forward to his God, ...Lord, teach us to pray in the
same blessed manner."
Charles Spurgeon
