A voice in my tears

Can’t you just feel that pain? David’s words are so beautiful. Is he sick? Is he afraid of something or someone?

Do you feel the same?

Are you worn out from your sadness, your worry, your grief? Your fear? Are you just done? Done with life, done with worrying? Do you see no way out?

King David’s Psalm 6 brings me peace and hope. Let me tell you why.

I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears. My vision is blurred by grief, my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies. Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayers.
Psalm 6:6-9 NLT

David has no words.

But the Lord has heard him. In fact, the KJV translates the second half of verse 8, “for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.”

You see God doesn’t need our words. He knows our hearts. He hears words within our tears, a “voice in our weeping.”

David shares his pain, then he claims God’s faithfulness. Let’s do the same. These psalms are in God’s Word for a reason, God is teaching us something so beautiful.

He hears us even when we don’t have words. He knows.

God is faithful.

He was faithful to David then. He is faithful now.

The Lord hears the voice of our tears. And, like a Good Father, He moves near and He will make a way.

      • I love KJV!
        And in Portuguese, ALMEIDA, corrected, faithful (my native language).
        Translated from Greek.

        I love the solemnity of the texts in the old form,
        and NOT updated for colloquial language and updated interpretive translations.
