Psalm 6:2
βHave mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 6Meaning
Within vv. 1β3 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.
