Psalms 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long?

My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake.

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)

For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxs old because of all mine enemies.

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
