Psalm 6

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.

1  vO Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath.

2  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

wheal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3  My soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—how long?

4  Turn, O Lord, xdeliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5  For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol ywho will give you praise?

6  zI am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

7  aMy eye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

8  bDepart from me, all you workers of evil,

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

9  The Lord has heard my plea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10  cAll my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
