The Lord Will

Psalm 6:2

β€œHave mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 6

Meaning

Within vv. 1–3 the lament moves from fear of wrath to weakness, pain, and a deeply troubled inner life.

Plea under discipline

Mercy is sought amid bodily and inward distress.

Read carefully

Psalm 6 voices distress but does not establish that universal rule.

Reflection

Name the weakness honestly and seek appropriate care as well as prayer.
