Stress permeates our culture today. But how often do we stress over our sin? And when we do, where do we find hope? In this exposition of Psalm 6, Alistair Begg gives us a glimpse into David’s suffering over his sin, as well as the comfort he found in God and His mercy. If we cry out to God, He will hear our cries and straighten us out with His love and mercy.
1O Lord, wrebuke me not in your anger,
nor xdiscipline me in your wrath.
2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
yheal me, O Lord, zfor my bones are troubled.
3My asoul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—bhow long?
4Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5For in cdeath there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6I am dweary with my emoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7My feye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8gDepart from me, all you hworkers of evil,
for the Lord ihas heard the sound of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my jplea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.
