Texts -- Psalms 6:6-10 (NET)

Context
6:6 I am exhausted as I groan ; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me. 6:7 My eyes grow dim from suffering ; they grow weak because of all my enemies . 6:8 Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly , for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping ! 6:9 The Lord has heard my appeal for mercy ; the Lord has accepted my prayer . 6:10 May all my enemies be humiliated and absolutely terrified ! May they turn back and be suddenly humiliated !

  • Another question led to this teaching. The thematic connection with Jesus' words about the small beginning of the kingdom (vv. 19, 21) should be obvious. As elsewhere, Luke recorded Jesus teaching lessons and using illustrati...
