Traditionally it is used for combating physical pain, dispelling fear, seeking courage, and achieving peace of mind
Consequently it is suggested in case of violent relationships, abusive situations, when it seems there is no way out and no hope
It calms inner turmoil,it helps in overcoming anxiety, and confronting looming dread. It smoothes the inner turmoil and instills courage
Psalm 39 is a poetic prayer about the shortness of human life, the pain of unexpressed grief, and finding hope in God alone when facing suffering
It underlines the trap of silence: when David tries to keep quiet and hide his frustration around wicked people so he won't say something sinful!
But, in holding his feelings it only makes his inner pain and emotional heat worse! Until he finally speaks addressing his heart to God
There is the recognition that the current pain is sent by God for him to understand what he is doing wrong. Because God consumes "what is precious to him"!
He cries for help, and having learned his lesson, he can ask God to be delivered from the heavy plague punishing him so badly!
