< 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.
O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long?
4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol )
For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks? (Sheol )
6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxs old because of all mine enemies.
8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.
The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
