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.
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; 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.
Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble!
3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
My soul, also, is sore troubled; And thou, O LORD! how long—?
4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.
Return, O LORD! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy mercy!
For in death no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks? (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 weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.
Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old because of 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 that do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.
The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
