A Liturgy of Lament: Psalm 6

The Trails Church

Psalm 6 contains the typical features we find in nearly every Psalm of lament. It is a prayer in pain that leads to trust. As we walk with King David through this sorrow, we will notice how he has left us markers along the path that teach us the practice of biblical lament. Here are the four steps we can take as we learn to lament: 1. Cry Out to God in Prayer, 2. Bring Your Burdens to the Lord, 3. Ask for God’s Help, and 4. Continue to Trust.
