Psalm 6

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,

neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:

O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3. My soul is also sore vexed:

but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 .Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:

oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

5. For in death there is no remembrance of thee:

in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6. I am weary with my groaning;

all the night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

7. Mine eye is consumed because of grief;

it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9. The Lord hath heard my supplication;

the Lord will receive my prayer.

10. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:

let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
