David prays for health[a]

Footnotes

  1. 6:1 David was not happy. He was ill. He thought that God had left him. This made David very sad. Sometimes we feel as David did. We think that God has left us. But God will help us if we continue to pray to him, as David did.
  2. 6:3 David is praying, ‘How long will my illness continue?’
