Heal me, O LORD
The Hebrew word for "heal" is "rapha," which signifies not only physical healing but also spiritual and emotional restoration. In the context of Jeremiah, who is often called the "weeping prophet," this plea for healing is deeply personal and communal. Jeremiah is interceding for himself and the people of Judah, who are suffering due to their disobedience to God. The invocation of "O LORD" (Yahweh) emphasizes a covenant relationship, reminding us that God is the ultimate source of healing and restoration. This phrase invites believers to seek divine intervention in times of distress, trusting in God's power to restore wholeness.

and I will be healed
This phrase underscores the certainty and assurance that comes with divine healing. The repetition of the root word "rapha" emphasizes the completeness of the healing process. In a conservative Christian perspective, this reflects the faith that when God intervenes, the healing is not partial but complete. It is a declaration of trust in God's promises, echoing the belief that God's word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11). This assurance is a call to believers to have unwavering faith in God's ability to heal and restore.

save me, and I will be saved
The Hebrew word for "save" is "yasha," which means to deliver or give victory. This plea for salvation is both physical and spiritual. Jeremiah's cry for salvation is not just from immediate danger but from the sin and idolatry that have ensnared the people. The phrase "and I will be saved" reflects a confidence in God's power to deliver. In the broader biblical narrative, this points to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ, who delivers believers from sin and eternal separation from God. It is a reminder of the hope and assurance found in God's saving grace.

for You are my praise
This phrase highlights the reason for Jeremiah's confidence in God's healing and saving power. The Hebrew word "tehillah" for "praise" signifies a song of praise or adoration. By declaring "You are my praise," Jeremiah acknowledges that God is the source of all goodness and worthy of all worship. This reflects a heart of gratitude and recognition of God's sovereignty. In a conservative Christian context, it is a call to live a life that continually praises God, recognizing His hand in every aspect of life. It is an invitation to believers to make God the center of their worship and adoration, trusting in His eternal faithfulness.

(14) Heal me.--The prophet, consciously or unconsciously, contrasts himself with the deserters from Jehovah. He needs "healing" and "salvation," but he knows where to seek for them, and is sure that his Lord will not leave the work incomplete. The prayer of the prophet is like that of the Psalmist (Psalm 6:2; Psalm 30:2). In "thou art my praise" we have an echo of Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalm 71:6.

Verses 14-18. - A prayer of the prophet in this his hour of need. He who makes his boast of Jehovah may reckon upon his help. This is Jeremiah's principle. He prays for healing, Heal me... and I shall be - rather, that I may be - healed. He is one of those "broken in heart," whom Jehovah alone can "heal" (Psalm 147:3).
