Unfailing love; Psalm for special times and needs

Psalm 6:1-10
Pray to the Lord with anguish, weeping and tears.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
Declared in faith:
The Lord has heard my weeping; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
Cry out of anguish: Hebrew title 'by David'. Sick at heart, the psalmist pleads with God for his life, and is assured of God's answer.
This is the first of seven 'repenting' psalms: 6, 32.51.102,130
Why?
Death cut people off from all they could experience of God during their lives. Their tongues were still; they could no longer sing God's praises.
For God's unfailing love so we can pray before him, and he listen to my cry and weeping.
For God's unfailing love so we can live.
How?
Repenting and praise the God almighty.
