Psalms101:1

What there is in mercy that affords ground of singing.

1. The freeness and undeservedhess of mercy.

2. The unexpectedness of mercy. When I was expecting a frown I got a smile; when I was expecting nothing but wrath, I got a glance of love; instead of a stroke of vengeance, I got a view of glory.

3. The seasonablehess of mercy is a ground of singing —grace to help in time of need.

4. The greatness and riches of mercy make the recipiants there of sing.

5. The sweetness of mercy makes them sing.

6. The sureness and firmness of mercy make them sing —"The sure mercies of David." —From Ralph Erskine's Sermon, entitled "The Militant's Song".
