¹ O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath.


(The Book of Psalms Number 6 verse 1)


Oh God my Father, I am also begging for Your mercy, for a time has come or will soon come when I am going to make an important decision, that might not be according to Your will according to the commandments that You gave me as a point of reference, however in order to protect and preserve what is left of me, it is important that I make plans to move on in life and seek a new beginning. I am sorry that it has to be like this but I cannot take it anymore. I thank You for all the support that You are giving me Amen.



² Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing: O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.


(The Book of Psalms Number 6 verse 2)



Oh God I also plead for Your mercy, my bones are shaking with anxiety and I do not feel totally well. I am passing from a hard time in my marriage and I feel totally depressed. Have mercy on me and my situation my God and Father Amen.


³ My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD-how long?

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 3)

 

Oh God my Father, even my soul trembles with terror before You, for even though I am trying to be nice with my wife and showing her love and care, my soul is not happy for it wishes to start a new life away from both my wife and my daughter, in order to be reunited with You, but it seems like its going to take longer than I expected. God be with me, please. 


⁴ Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 4)

 

Oh God my Father spare me from the traps of my enemies hold me in Your arms and bestow on me that Fatherly love that only You can give Amen. Thank You, Jesus.





⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise?



(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 5)



Oh God my beloved Father, while being in a state of solitude and spiritual or physical death, we are not in an ideal position to lift our hearts to You in praise, for our state of heaviness weighs us down, however You do not want me to stay in this negative state for a long time. You want me to make an experience of loneliness in order to experience spiritual growth, however we are not made to remain in this state forever, for You created us to live in communion with others, therefore You are able to break the chains of my solitude and give me new life in the community where together we can lift our hearts together in a state of praise, thanksgiving, and worship. Amen.


⁶ I am weary with my moaning: every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. ⁷ My eyes waste away because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes.


(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verses 6 to 7)


Oh God, my beloved Father, I thank You for having wiped the tears of my eyes and for having listened to my calls of sorrow. I also have shed my share of tears and sorrow, but now I thank You that my period of sorrow at least on one big issue is almost at its end Amen.


⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. ⁹ The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer.


(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verses 8 to 9)


This is also my prayer my God and Father, that all the compulsions negative feelings, depressive moments, moments of anger, depart from me along with any triggers that arouse such feelings so that I can be totally Yours and a worthy servant to others. I also thank You for listening to my prayer.


¹⁰ All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.


(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 10)




In the name of my Lord God and Father, I command all such feelings and thoughts to be cleared from the heart and the deep crevices of my brain, so that I can be free of such drives and compulsions Amen.



Oh God my beloved Father, I would like to end this meditation on Psalm 6 with the following prayer:



Protect me oh God my Father from sin that is always at my door. Clothe me with Your love and kindness, keep me before You. May I be like a child that seeks refuge in Your loving arms Amen. Thank You, God, my Father Amen.
