Chapter 6
1 Don’t punish me, Lord , or even correct me when you are angry!
2 Have pity on me and heal my feeble body. My bones tremble with fear,
3 and I am in deep distress. How long will it be?
4 Turn and come to my rescue. Show your wonderful love and save me, Lord .
5 If I die, I cannot praise you or even remember you.
6 My groaning has worn me out. At night my bed and pillow are soaked with tears.
7 Sorrow has made my eyes dim, and my sight has failed because of my enemies.
8 You, Lord , heard my crying, and those hateful people had better leave me alone.
9 You have answered my prayer and my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamed and terrified, as they quickly run away in complete disgrace.
