Psalm 6

¹ LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

² Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

³ My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD – how long?

⁴ Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

⁵ For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

⁶ I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

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

⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹ The LORD has heard my supplication. The LORD accepts my prayer.

¹⁰ May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

¹ UUnto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.

² O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

³ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

⁴ And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

⁵ Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

⁶ For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

⁷ I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

⁸ My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

⁹ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

¹⁰ The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

¹¹ Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
