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.
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.
2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.
Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.
For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)
6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.
I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.
My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
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 the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.
The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
