PS6
Lord, I’ve strayed again
Please spare me
Grant grace and
Save me from myself
Undeserving as I am
Reclaim my life
For your glory
In sorrow but not despair
I offer up my prayer
Evil must flee
10/22/25
(Notes from 9/6/1998) “Grief Over Sin”
This is a picture of repentance. Not a simple, “I’m sorry,” nor a promise to try and be better. Here is true grief.
Poetry in the psalms doesn’t always come across into English, because it is different from English poetry, but here in vv. 6,7, I think there is a beautiful picture where the poetry comes across. David shows how terribly sad and troubled he is over his sin.
David also shows assurance that God will hear him and that forgiveness and deliverance will come.
Prayer: God, I am trying to minister faithfully and do your will. Help my situation and dissatisfaction to not interfere. Help me provide for my family so I can follow your plan for them.
