Notes:
7-prayers for days of darkness:
– In times of depression, we need divine truth revealed, grasped, and meditated upon.
(25) My soul clings to the dust…
- Revive me life according to your word
- Teach me your statutes
- Make me understand the ways of your precepts (application of your word)
- teach me…understand…meditate; the part played by the mind in dealing with depression; divine truth is received, understood and then pondered;
(28) My soul weeps because of grief…
- Strengthen me according to your Word
- lit: to lift up; depression knocks you down and the word lifts you up;
- Remove the false way from me
- He is not asking for a change in circumstances but that the false way would be removed; he would be one of integrity; he knows he is in danger of walking down a false way;
- Graciously grant me your law;
- Do not put me to shame
