Psalms 6
Psalm 6[a]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger(a)
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me,(b) Lord, for I am faint;(c)
heal me,(d) Lord, for my bones are in agony.(e)
3 My soul is in deep anguish.(f)
How long,(g) Lord, how long?
4 Turn,(h) Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.(i)
5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?(j)
6 I am worn out(k) from my groaning.(l)
All night long I flood my bed with weeping(m)
and drench my couch with tears.(n)
7 My eyes grow weak(o) with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me,(p) all you who do evil,(q)
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;(r)
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;(s)
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.(t)
