David was at one of the lowest points in his life. He said, I'm not right physically. I'm not right spiritually.

This is not letting up. God, how long is this going to go on? Why? Why does God seem to extend

sometimes in our lives his times of chastening?

We're going to find out exactly why today.

Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly.

We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day. If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to

leave a review or share it with a friend. Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's

episode. Hey friends, welcome back. We are in Psalm 6 today in our study of the Word of God and especially the book of Psalms.

I love the Psalms that have an introduction.

Just helps us to have a little bit more context about the Psalm itself.

And here in Psalm 6 it says,

to the chief musician on Neganath upon Shemannith a Psalm of David. We learned a couple

episodes ago what Negadoth means that means a stringed instrument and Shemaneath is

actually an eight-stringed. It was a special eight-stringed kind of harp or liar.

And David wrote this song to be played especially on in a stringed setting, but especially

highlighting this one instrument, which again is so interesting to me. And I wish, I hope that when we get to heaven one day,

we can hear the original version of these Psalms as they were sung. And we already talked about

the value of music and how music makes things more memorable, makes words more permanent.

And this is a Psalm of David.

David writes starting in Psalm 6 through the next seven Psalms,

Psalms that we call the penitential Psalms.

So repentance, a spirit of Lord, I am repenting. I am sorry for my sin. I am confessing.
