Psalm 6 from my new book:

A NEW LOOK AT THE OLD PSALMS

Praying the Psalms: a modern interpretation

____________________

I present here a new perspective on the psalms. I have rewritten them from a New 
Testament Christ-centered point of view. I did not try to capture the poetry of the 
psalms – I leave that to more gifted writers – but I attempted to capture their message
with a more modern interpretation.

God bless,

John

Psalm 6

L

ord, I am sorry that I have disappointed you again. As St. Paul said, “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing.” Romans 7:19 (NLT) Yet you know that I am a weak creature, and you take pity on me. Jesus, you came to heal the sick and the sinner. Come then and heal me in body and soul so that I may once again shine in your presence. I am heartsick for having offended you and I fear at times that evil will drive me away from you completely. Yet my soul reminds me constantly that you love me, even when I fail. Upon my request, you are ever ready to help me get back on the path that leads to you. For that I will be eternally grateful. Amen.
