Psalms 6
Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.2My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?
3Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.
4For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?
5I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
6My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.
7Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
8The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
9All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
