A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, ^ado not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, ^aheal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul also is greatly ^atroubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?

4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

5 ^aFor in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

Psalms 6:2

Have mercy - I have no merit. I deserve all I feel and all I fear.

O Lord, heal me - No earthly physician can cure my malady. Body and soul are both diseased, and only God can help me.

I am weak - umlal . I am exceedingly weak; I cannot take nourishment, and my strength is exhausted.

My bones are vexed - The disease hath entered into my bones.
