Chapter 6
1 LORD , don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me , LORD , for I am faint. LORD , heal me , for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you , LORD — how long?
4 Return, LORD . Deliver my soul , and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5 For in death there is no memory of you . In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
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 dismayed. They shall turn back , they shall be disgraced suddenly.
