Sermon for June 19th, 2022

Psalm 6:1-10

To the leader: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
    O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.
3 My soul also is struck with terror,
    while you, O Lord—how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, save my life;
    deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;
    in Sheol who can give you praise?

6 I am weary with my moaning;
    every night I flood my bed with tears;
    I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My eyes waste away because of grief;
    they grow weak because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
    for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;
    they shall turn back and in a moment be put to shame.

Psummer of Psalms V: Psalm 6

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him. Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He’s a web designer. I used to play piano by ear. Now I use my hands I used to hate facial hair but then it grew on me. I used to be addicted to the hokey-pokey until I turned myself around. The Lego shop reopens tomorrow, but I recommend avoiding it for the time being. People will be lined up for blocks. I was going to tell a time-traveling joke, but you didn't like it. What rock group has four men who can't sing? Mount Rushmore. I’ve got a pen that can write underwater. It can write other words, too, but underwater is one of my favorites. Just adopted a dog from the local blacksmith but as soon as I got him home he made a bolt for the door. The police just arrested the world’s tongue twister champion. They say he’ll be given a tough sentence. There was a jar at the dentist’s office labeled “patient pens only.” I told the assistant that it was a good call because you wouldn’t want to collect any impatient pens. She was not amused…
