Psalm 6
1
Psalm 6 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. [1] A psalm of David.
1
O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2
Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
3
My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
4
Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
5
No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave [2] ?
6
I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
8
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
