Psalms 6

 

¹ LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger

or discipline me in your wrath.

 

² Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint;

heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.

 

³ My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?

 

⁴ Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.

 

⁵ Among the dead no one proclaims your name.

Who praises you from the grave?

 

⁶ I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

 

⁷ My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.

 

⁸ Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

 

⁹ The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

 

¹⁰ All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
