Stressed Out or Straightened Out?

Psalm 6:1–10  (ID: 1549)

Stress permeates our culture today. But how often do we stress over our sin? And when we do, where do we find hope? In this exposition of Psalm 6, Alistair Begg gives us a glimpse into David’s suffering over his sin, as well as the comfort he found in God and His mercy. If we cry out to God, He will hear our cries and straighten us out with His love and mercy.

O Lord, Deliver My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.

1O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath.

2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3My soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—how long?

4Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

6I am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

7My eye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

8Depart from me, all you workers of evil,

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

9The Lord has heard my plea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
