Whether David was fleeing for his life…
Or reigning as king…
Whether in joy…
Or in suffering…
He always turned back to the Lord, expressing his faith through music.
Jesus said:
“Many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them“.
Think about it.
The prophets.
The kings.
Longed to know…
Jesus.

Lyrics:
Psalm 6
E, F#/G, C, A
E, G, C, A
O Lord, don’t scold me in Your wrath
But teach me, in Your ways, and let Your anger pass
Be gracious, to me Lord, for I am weakening
And heal me, for my bones are troubled
My soul is in distress
I pray for this to pass
How long O Lord
How long O Lord?
C, D, E
Turn O Lord and rescue me!
Saving me in Your steadfast love
And how can I praise amongst the dead
For in You is life, my Lord, You said
For in You is life, my Lord, You said
E, F#/G, C, A
E, G, C, A
I’m growing weary with my moaning
And cry all night until the morning
I drench my bed with tears
My eyes are full of grief
I’m getting weaker by the day from enemies
C, D, E
Depart from me, all you workers of the evil one
My Lord has heard all my pleas
And He accepts my prayer
And He alone my Savior
Putting my enemies to shame
Proclaiming His glory and His name
Proclaiming His glory and His name
David cries:
“O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger…”
How many of us have suffered and wondered whether God had turned against us?
Yet, in Jesus we get to know the Father.
“Let not your heart be troubled” He tells us.
