Psalms 6

¹LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

²Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

³My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD—how long?

⁴Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

⁵For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

⁶I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

⁷My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

⁸Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹The LORD has heard my supplication. The LORD accepts my prayer.

¹⁰May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
