Have mercy on me, for I am weak.

 This week I want to recall some scriptures in which the psalmist asks for God's mercy and gives reasons for asking for it.

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak... Psalm 6.2

He makes a valid argument for asking God's mercy; because I am weak. He does not say, because I am righteous, because I have done good works, but because I am weak.

I am weak, therefore I need Your mercy.

Confession of one's own weakness is a strong argument for receiving mercy from God.
