Psalms 6:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Have mercy upon me I plead not my merit, but thy free mercy; for I am weak Or, I languish; my body pines away, and my spirit fails through my excessive pains and troubles. O Lord, heal me That is, the distempers of my soul and body, of both which the word רפא, rapha, is used; for my bones are vexed That is, my inward parts. Bones, reins, inward parts, often in Scripture signify the same as heart, soul, thought: see Psalms 35:10.
