Psalms 6
1 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.
For the End, a Psalm of David amongst the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.
2 Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;
Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
3 all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?
My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?
4 Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.
For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet 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 My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.
Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
8 Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud 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 entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.
The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
10 My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
