PSALM 6
1. To the chief Musician for stringed instruments, according to the Sheminith, a psalm of David.
2. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure.
.
.
3. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones shudder.
4. My soul is also much troubled. And you, O Lord, how long?
5. Return, O Lord, deliver my soul. Oh save me for the sake of your loving kindness!
6. For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who shall give you thanks?
8. My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my enemies.
9. Depart from me, all you evil doers; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10. The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
11. Let all my enemies be ashamed and much troubled; let them return and be ashamed in a moment.

I came over from Patsy and Bennie and your post is so good. I love that Psalm. Your visual images were perfect for the verse.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to interpret psalms-- 21st century visuals.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures to the verses! And a very cute boy:-)
ReplyDeleteWish you a happy and blessed week!
Awesome post! The photos make you think even more about David's words.

I Must say that the photo of Dean is perfect for this post.
ReplyDeletePhoto 1: see what happens if you watch to much TV!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I would give a penny for Dean's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe psalm as a whole sounds like a lamentation, doesn't it? David also prays for the downfall of his enemies. I have the feeling that I must pray for wisdom of my, fortunately few, enemies. I don't want them to be hurt but may God stop them hurting other people.
ReplyDeleteTop photo is....well....odd. Lamentable even.
ReplyDeleteI take your word that he is not sad, at his age I would have been thrilled of the experience...
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is so strange!
Interesting photos, Dina. The Australian museum skeleton room intrigues me...and I'm happy that Dean is not really as sad as he looks!
ReplyDeleteBy the thumbnail, I thought Halloween had arrived early in Jerusalem! Robert's psalm challenge is very special!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold to the bone here in Minnesota!
Interesting first picture, and a bit spooky, but it illustrates that part of the psalm very well. The boy is so cute, and I'm glad to hear he wasn't really sad :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings :-)
An impressive mean to measure time and life.
ReplyDeleteMay he find it both filled with light.
Many thanks upon your participation ! Please have you all a wonderful new week.
