Psalms 6

Psalms 6

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger

    or discipline me in your wrath.

   

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;

    heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

3 My soul is in deep anguish.

    How long, Lord, how long?

4 Turn, Lord, and deliver me;

    save me because of your unfailing love.

 

5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.

    Who praises you from the grave?

6 I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
 and drench my couch with tears.
7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
  they fail because of all my foes.

8 Away from me, all you who do evil,

    for the Lord has heard my weeping.

 

9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;

    the Lord accepts my prayer.

 

10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;

    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

Little notes:

6:1-2:- God still loves me even when he is disciplining me. It is because of His love that he does this. It is ultimately for my good.
6:4- Though I keep stumbling, God is still with and besides me.
6:9- God has and always will hear me when I call out to him. That is a promise.
