8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, 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.
Focused Passage
Psalms 6:8-10
Have Mercy on Me, LORD: A Cry from Anguish to Heard Prayer
Fear of wrath -> plea for mercy -> bodily and soul anguish -> appeal to steadfast love -> death urgency -> tearful exhaustion -> heard prayer -> enemy shame
