Psalm 6

brendaonline

6 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Dear Lord, I acknowledge I do not get all the answers right, thank you for understanding that I did not mean to miss any of them.  Remember I belong to you when you discipline me.

2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Lord, please do not forget I am human.  I am as strong as you already know I am.  Heal me from my inside out.

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

For many years I have studied your character, I want to know more about you. There are times I wonder how long will I look like I am wrong.  I do not allow these thoughts to deter me from following you; however, it does get a little lonely.   But, I signed up for it and I want you to continue to lead me on this journey of yours. My mind is strongly amazed at how many people say they know you and they have no clue of who you are.

4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

Sometimes you are silent.  I am asking you to make yourself known to me during this uncomfortable state I am in.  Have mercy on me and let my enemies know you confirm who and how you use me.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I can die and no one on earth would miss me long.  It would be nice for you to let my enemies know you confirm my character.  This is what I hear David saying and I think it will be nice if you gave me a character reference. Death according to David sounds like an empty library.

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

I love you, Lord.  Sometimes it bothers me to be treated so badly by people who think you are not really in me.  David said it first and I agree with him.  Yes, there are times it hurts when being misunderstood.

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

My enemies increase daily.  What they say gets redundant. 

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

I do not want to hang out with people who disrespect Your Word.

9 The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

I know you hear me and you will not ignore my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

When you support me, let those who think they know you, know that I am called of you.  Thank you for making them ashamed of how they have treated me for all these many years.
