Psalm 6
1. David's complaint in his sickness
8. He triumphs over his enemies














The LORD
The term "LORD" in this context is derived from the Hebrew "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature. It reflects a personal relationship between God and His people, underscoring His faithfulness and sovereignty. In the historical context of the Psalms, Yahweh is the God who delivered Israel from Egypt, a reminder of His power and commitment to His promises.

has heard
The Hebrew root for "heard" is "shama," which implies not just the act of hearing but also understanding and responding. This word assures believers that God is attentive to their cries and is actively engaged in their lives. It is a comforting reminder that God is not distant or indifferent but is intimately aware of our struggles and needs.

my cry for mercy
The phrase "cry for mercy" comes from the Hebrew "techinnah," which denotes a plea for grace and compassion. This reflects the psalmist's recognition of his own unworthiness and his reliance on God's lovingkindness. In the broader scriptural context, mercy is a central attribute of God, who is described as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love" (Exodus 34:6).

the LORD accepts
The word "accepts" is translated from the Hebrew "laqach," which means to take or receive. This indicates that God not only hears but also welcomes and embraces the prayers of His people. It suggests a divine approval and willingness to act on behalf of those who seek Him earnestly.

my prayer
"Prayer" in Hebrew is "tefillah," a term that encompasses various forms of communication with God, including supplication, intercession, and thanksgiving. This highlights the relational aspect of prayer, where believers can approach God with confidence, knowing that He values and responds to their petitions. In the historical and scriptural context, prayer is a vital practice for maintaining a close relationship with God, as seen throughout the lives of biblical figures like David, Daniel, and Jesus Himself.

Verse 9. - The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive - rather, hath received; προσεδέξατο (LXX.) - my prayer. The threefold repetition marks the absoluteness of the psalmist's conviction.
