詩篇 6:2-3 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Night and morning in the soul. I. NIGHT . There is darkness. God hides himself. There is dreariness. The soul is left alone with sad and distressing thoughts. There is depression. The ghosts of past misdeeds rise up. There are nameless terrors. But though perplexed, there need not be despair. God is near. He can help. He can even give songs in the night. II. MORNING . Light comes, bringing hope and peace. God has beard the cry of his child. Such deliverances are comforting. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Great afflictions, greater consolation. The language m this psalm may seem exaggerated and unreal. But it is not so. Want of imagination and sympathy in some, and want of experience in others, make them unfit judges. We neither know our strength nor our weakness till we are tried. The man who may have stood up to help others in their troubles may be cast down and disconsolate when visited with trouble himself ( Job 4:3-5 ). Learn— I. THAT THERE ARE WORSE AFFLICTIONS THAN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Deliverance from sore trouble. "In the malice of his enemies David sees the rod of God's chastisement, and, therefore makes his prayer to God for deliverance. The struggle has lasted so long, the grief is so bitter, that his health has given way, and he has been brought to the gates of the grave. But ere long light and peace visit him, and he breaks forth into the joy of thanksgiving." I. A PICTURE OF COMPLICATED DISTRESS . 1 . Danger from outward foes. Producing constant... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:2

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak ; rather, I am faint , or languid— withered away, like a faded plant or flower. O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Bodily ailment seems certainly to be implied; but it is that sort of bodily ailment which is often produced by mental distress—a general languor, weariness, and distaste for exertion (comp. Psalms 22:14 ; Psalms 31:10 ; Psalms 38:3 ; Psalms 102:3 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:3

My soul is also sore vexed . It is not, however, the body alone which suffers; the soul also is vexed, and vexed greatly ( מְאֹד ). Clearly the main emphasis is intended to be laid on the mental suffering. But thou, O Lord, how long! We may fill up the ellipse in various ways: "How long wilt thou look on?" "How long wilt thou hide thyself?" "How long wilt thou be angry?" (see Psalms 34:17 ; Psalms 79:5 ; Psalms 89:46 ). Or again, "How long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear?" ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 6:2

Have mercy upon me, O Lord - That is, be gracious to me; or, show me compassion. This language may be used either in view of sin, of suffering, or of danger. It is a cry to God to interpose, and remove some present source of trouble, and may be employed by one who feels that he is a sinner, or by one on a bed of pain, or by one surrounded by enemies, or by one at the point of death, or by one who is looking out with apprehension upon the eternal world. It is commonly, indeed (compare Psalms... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 6:3

My soul is also sore vexed - The word “soul” here is used in the sense in which it is commonly with us, as denoting the mind. The idea is, that his sorrows were not merely those of the bodily frame. They had a deeper seat than even the bones. His mind, his soul, was full of anguish also, in view of the circumstances which surrounded him, and which had brought on these bodily afflictions.But thou, O Lord - This is a broken sentence, as if he had commenced an address to God, but did not complete... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 6:2

Psalms 6:2. Have mercy upon me I plead not my merit, but thy free mercy; for I am weak Or, I languish; my body pines away, and my spirit fails through my excessive pains and troubles. O Lord, heal me That is, the distempers of my soul and body, of both which the word רפא , rapha, is used; for my bones are vexed That is, my inward parts. Bones, reins, inward parts, often in Scripture signify the same as heart, soul, thought: see Psalms 35:10. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 6:3

Psalms 6:3. My soul is sore vexed Partly by sympathy with my body, and partly with the burden of my sins, and the sense of thine anger, and my own danger and misery. O Lord, how long? Wilt thou suffer me to lie and languish in this condition? or, as the Chaldee paraphrast supplies the ellipses, How long wilt thou defer to give me some refreshment? read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Psalms 6:0 Anxiety in a time of troubleThrough either illness or some other depressing situation, David is distressed, in both body and mind. This has caused him to search his life to see if God is using this affliction to punish him for some sin. Humbly he asks God for mercy (1-3). He fears death, and his pain and sorrow become more distressing through the personal attacks that his opponents make on him (4-7). The thought of these ungodly enemies, however, gives David confidence that God will... read more
