Psalms Chapter 6

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your rage. Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones grow weary. I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until. You restore me?

Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of Your unfailing love. For the dead do not remember You. Who can raise up from the grave?

I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my be bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears. My vision is blurred in grief; my eyes worn out because of all my enemies.

Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer. May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.

Psalms Chapter 5

O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly. (vv 1-3, NLT)

Because of Your unfailing love, I can enter Your house; I will worship at Your Temple with deepest awe. Lead me in the right path O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make Your way plain for me to follow. (vv. 7-8, NLT)

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. For You bless the godly, O Lord; You surround them with your shield of love. (vv. 11-12, NLT)
