Commentary on Psalms 6:4
David pleads for God to 'return' - implying God seems absent or withdrawn. 'Deliver my soul' requests rescue from death or destruction. The appeal to God's 'mercies' (Hebrew 'chesed' - covenant love) grounds the request in God's character and promises, not David's merit. This demonstrates Reformed theology: we appeal to God's mercy, not our worthiness. The prayer for salvation is ultimately answered in Christ, whose name 'Yeshua' comes from the same Hebrew root as 'save' used here.
