Commentary on Psalms 6:2

Theological / Devotional

I am weak. Literally, “I am withering.” The verb is frequently applied to the withering of plants (Isa. 16:8; Isa. 24:4, 7; Joel 1:12).

Heal me. A direct plea for physical healing, although no specific disease is mentioned. His bones are “vexed.” This statement shows the intense agony of his bodily frame; his whole body is tormented with pain.
