3. Praise for condescending mercy 138:6-8

The Lord is great because He judges justly. He condescends to lift up the lowly even though His position is lofty. This gave David assurance that God would assist him when he was in trouble. He believed God would fulfill His purpose for his servant because He is loyal to those He loves. This led David to request God's continuing help in conclusion.

God's people should not only praise God themselves but should also seek to lead other people to become worshippers of Him. Knowledge of the Lord should make us thankful, confident, and concerned for others.
