Psalms 6

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? (Sheol h7585)

6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
