The Holy Psalms of David
Psalm Six ~ for Jews, Muslims and Christians and all who call out to God.


‘Pity me, O Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, for my body is sick, and I am upset and disturbed. My mind is filed with apprehension and gloom. Oh, restore me soon.’ V 2 & 3

This short Psalm reminds us that God will hear and answer even when we are ill and feeling very low. David is both physically sick and filled with apprehension & gloom. His joy in God has (temporally) seeped away, but he invites God to come and make him well, reasoning...

‘In your kindness save me; for if I die I cannot give you glory by praising you before my friends. I am worn out with pain and every night my pillow is wet with tears.’

David believes God will answer his prayers, despite his misery.
