Day 6.. the lament and the promise.

9:14 am.


..




There is a love
that's already given
there is a grace
that I could not earn
You pour out mercy
morning by morning
your goodness follows me
all of my days
so what do I have
that hasn't been given?
what do I need
that you don't supply?
you feed the sparrow
you clothe the Lilly
and they do not worry
so neither will I

You are faithful, God.

Psalm 6
A Psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight stringed instrument

1 

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger

    or discipline me in your rage.

2 

Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.

    Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

3 

I am sick at heart.

    How long, O Lord, until you restore me?

4 

Return, O Lord, and rescue me.

    Save me because of your unfailing love.

5 

For the dead do not remember you.

    Who can praise you from the grave?[b]

6 

I am worn out from sobbing.

    All night I flood my bed with weeping,

    drenching it with my tears.

7 

My vision is blurred by grief;

    my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

8 

Go away, all you who do evil,

    for the Lord has heard my weeping.

9 

The Lord has heard my plea;

    the Lord will answer my prayer.

10 

May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.

    May they suddenly turn back in shame.
