Psalms 6

1 Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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