Psalm 6 is a penitential psalm where David pours out his distress, pleading for God’s mercy. He feels overwhelmed—physically weak, spiritually anguished, and emotionally drained.

• Verses 1-3: David begs God not to discipline him in anger, crying, “How long, Lord?”

• Verses 4-7: He describes deep sorrow, weeping through the night and feeling abandoned.

• Verses 8-10: Suddenly, his tone shifts—“The Lord has heard my weeping.” He finds confidence in God’s deliverance.

Key Themes:

• God’s Mercy: Even in discipline, His love remains.

• The Reality of Suffering: We all face despair, but God is near.

• Persistent Prayer: Keep seeking God, even when He seems silent.

• Hope in God’s Response: He hears, He sees, and He will act.

Psalm 6 reminds us that honest prayers reach God’s heart, and even in our darkest moments, He is listening.
