Psalms 6:3

GriefWorry and anxietyExhaustion

1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.

My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

5 For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?
