Psalm 6:4-6

The Voice

⁴ Come back, Eternal One, and lead me to Your saving light.
    Rescue me because I know You are truly compassionate.
⁵ I’m alive for a reason—I can’t worship You if I’m dead.
    If I’m six feet under, how can I thank You?

⁶ I’m exhausted. I cannot even speak, my voice fading as sighs.
    Every day ends in the same place—lying in bed, covered in tears,
    my pillow wet with sorrow.
