This Sunday we'll look at Psalm 6. It is raw.
"God, I'm languishing." "My bones are troubled." John Calvin says that these kinds of psalms teach us to resist a wrong tendency we have to "play it close to the chest" but rather to "relieve ourselves" by pouring out our hearts to God.
"We have a diseased but deeply-rooted principle in our nature, which leads us to hide our griefs, and ruminate upon them, instead of relieving ourselves at once by pouring out our prayers and complaints before God." -John Calvin
