Psalm 6

6:1

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

6:2

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.

6:3

My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

6:4

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

6:5

For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?

6:6

I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

6:7

My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.

6:8

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

6:9

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

6:10

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
