Psalm 6

We confess in Psalm 6 that we are deserving of God’s wrath and anger.

Knowing that we deserve God’s wrath, we do not then give up and give in to our selfish thoughts or desires, as the world teaches us to. No, we know God does not desire the death of us sinners, but that we would turn from his ways. Who would give God praise if sent us all to Sheol, eternal death?

We repent – “O LORD, rebuke us not in your anger or wrath, but we know of and beg for your steadfast love!” That steadfast love is our Lord Jesus.

The world may mock us for our faith, but we endure trusting that our God has heard our pleading and prayers. Not because we are worthy, but because of the worthy lamb who was slain on our behalf.
