Psalms 6 - helping those who are troubled

Psalms 6 is a short piece, only 10 verses, and it is very much on point from the point-of-view of one who is troubled.

Ever loose a loved one?

Ever take a beating financially or emotionally?

Ever feel a time when you are so overwhelmed and helpless?

This Psalm is for you.

The first seven verses, the speaker tells God that he's completely exhausted, pleading to be rescued from death.  He is worn out with grief and weeps every night on his pillow.

The last three verses, the speaker turns on those doing the hurting and tells them that God is answering his prayers and to stay away, that his enemies will know defeat at last.
