Psalms 6
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

3 My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
