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; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.
2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.
Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;
3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?
4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.
Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.
For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (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 so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.
My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.
8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.
Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.
the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
