A poem to help you ponder Psalm 6

“Troubled Bones”

written by Dwayne Sheridan

———

I’ve got trouble in my bones

Lord, please help me!

I’ve got trouble in my bones

Lord, please help me!

Be gracious to me, Oh Lord,

For I’m languishing

How long will this go on?

Lord, please help me!

Every night I wail and moan

Lord, I’m weary

Every night I wail and moan

Lord, I’m weary

At night I flood my bed, oh Lord,

With heavy tears of dread

I can’t praise you if I’m gone.

Lord, I’m weary

The Lord has heard my plea

He will help me

The Lord has heard my plea

He will help me

My enemies now quake, oh Lord,

They turn back in shame

For the sake of your great love

You have helped me
