Psalms 6
1 For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; Chasten me not in thy hot displeasure!
2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble!
3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
My soul, also, is sore troubled; And thou, O LORD! how long—?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
Return, O LORD! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy mercy!
For in death no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
I am weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all ye that do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
