This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Psa 6:1-10. On Neginoth (See on Psa 4:1, Title) upon Sheminith - the eighth - an instrument for the eighth key; or, more probably, the bass, as it is contrasted with Alamoth (the treble, Psa 46:1) in 1Ch 15:20, 1Ch 15:21. In deep affliction the Psalmist appeals to God’s mercy for relief from chastisement, which otherwise must destroy him, and thus disable him for God’s service. Sure of a gracious answer, he triumphantly rebukes his foes.
He owns his ill desert in begging a relief from chastisement.
