Psalms 6

1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.

For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

3 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?

My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?

4 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.

5 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell? (Sheol h7585)

For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)

6 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

7 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

8 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.

The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
