Psalms 6

1O Lord , do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

2Have mercy on me, O Lord , for I am weak; O Lord , heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord —how long?

4Return, O Lord , deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

5For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?

6I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.

7My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.

8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.

10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
