Turn, O Lord, and deliever me.

I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with tears.
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
(vs 6-9)

The LORD will shield us from the storm, but we have to be willing to let God hold the umbrella.

Discipline

1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 


 2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. 

Psalm 6

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.
A psalm of David.
 1O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
       or discipline me in your wrath.
 2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
       O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
 3 My soul is in anguish.
       How long, O LORD, how long?
 4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
       save me because of your unfailing love.
 5 No one remembers you when he is dead.
       Who praises you from the grave?
 6 I am worn out from groaning;
       all night long I flood my bed with weeping
       and drench my couch with tears.
 7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
       they fail because of all my foes.
 8 Away from me, all you who do evil,
       for the LORD has heard my weeping.
 9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
       the LORD accepts my prayer.
 10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
       they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
