Psalm 6: God Hears the Cries of the Brokenhearted
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave • Dave Jenkins • Saturday, February 14, 2026
Show Summary
Psalm 6 is the first of the penitential psalms—a prayer of confession, sorrow, and hope in the steadfast love of God. In today’s episode, we walk through David’s lament and see how God invites His people to bring their deepest anguish, grief, and weakness before Him. This psalm teaches us that lament is not unbelief—it is faith crying to the God who hears, forgives, and delivers.
