Salmos 6
Tyndale Open Study Notes · Tyndale Open Study Notes
Salmos 6:1
Ps 6 The occasion for this lament might have been sickness or a mental or spiritual depression from which the psalmist sought healing. 6:1-3 The psalmist asks for God’s favor and restoration at a difficult time. 6:1 don’t rebuke me . . . or discipline me: The psalmist does not explicitly connect God’s discipline with sin here (cp. 39:8-11), but it might be implied.
Salmos 6:2-3
6:2-3 In his longing for God’s response to his prayer, the psalmist grew physically weak (6:6; see 77:3; 119:81; 142:1-3; see also Ps 101). Fasting might have played a part in his agony, but this is not mentioned.
Salmos 6:4
6:4-5 The experience was so painful that the psalmist might as well have been dead, or perhaps he feared for his life.
Salmos 6:5
6:5 from the grave? Hebrew from Sheol? In the Old Testament, Sheol is the abode of the dead. It is not necessarily associated with punishment.
Salmos 6:6-7
6:6-7 The psalmist is exhausted to the depths of his being from the anguish of his spiritual distance from the Lord (22:1; 31:9-10; 102:5). • When eyes dim, the body is failing (see 13:3; 31:9; 38:10; Matt 6:22).
Salmos 6:8
6:8-10 In a closing note of triumph, the psalmist reasserts his confidence in the Lord.
