Psalms

Chapter 6

1 Lord , do not rebuke me in your anger; do not discipline me in your wrath.

2 Be gracious to me, Lord , for I am weak; , heal me, Lord , for my bones are shaking;

3 my whole being is shaken with terror. And you, Lord — how long?

4 Turn, Lord ! Rescue me; save me because of your faithful love.

5 For there is no remembrance of you in death; who can thank you in Sheol?

6 I am weary from my groaning; with my tears I dampen my bed and drench my couch every night.

7 My eyes are swollen from grief; they grow old because of all my enemies.

8 Depart from me, all evildoers, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my plea for help; the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror; they will turn back and suddenly be disgraced.
