Psalm 6
Modern English Version

Psalm 6

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
    nor discipline me in the heat of Your anger.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am weak;
    O Lord, heal me, for my bones are terrified.
3 My soul is greatly troubled,
    but You, O Lord, how long?

4 Return, O Lord, rescue my soul.
    Save me for the sake of Your lovingkindness.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;
    in Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning;
    all night I flood my bed with weeping;
    I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away from grief;
    it grows weak because of all those hostile to me.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
    for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified;
    may they turn back and be suddenly ashamed.
