(Full) Psalm 6 KJV - O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger

Psalm 6 KJV

King James Version, Holy Bible

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalms Chapter 6 Devotional - God is A Healer and Restorer

Have you ever been going through a tough situation in life where your prayer to God is for Him to have mercy on you and to not rebuke you in anger, but to have bountiful mercy to you against illness, sorrow, despair, and pain? Well, this is the situation that King David was going through. And in this Old Testament text we see in Psalm 6 that the Psalmist wanted the Lord to deliver his soul.

There's a promise in the 23rd Psalm that says the Lord restores our souls. Have you ever been going through a difficult time you didn't know how you would come out of it but somehow the Lord gave you peace, joy, and fulfillment?

The truth of the matter is that regardless of the sorrow, illness, pain, or anguish that we face, God is able to wipe away our tears, heal us from grief and restore us to a place of wholeness.

The Psalmist in this bible reading also talks about moving away from the workers of iniquity.

And this is important because, in Psalm one, the Bible says that blessed a man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, no sit in the seat of sinners, necessarily in the way of the scornful. And so this is a direct strategy for someone for true happiness or blessedness - to not be in the presence of the workers of iniquity.

It is our hope that the Lord's steadfast love by the power of the Holy Spirit will give you peace and restoration In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. May The Righteous God wipe away your tears, rid you of deep anguish, redeem you from shame and restore your strength in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
