< Psalms 6 >

1 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.
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 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; 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 soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?
And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.
Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.
5 For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)
For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
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 troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
