Psalms 6
1 For the end, a Psalm of David among
the Hymns for the eighth.
2 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath,
neither chasten me in thine anger.
3 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal
me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
4 My soul also is grievously vexed:
but thou, O Lord, how long? 5 Return,
O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
6 For in death no man remembers thee:
and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
7 aGr. I have laboured.I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water
my couch with my tears. 8 Mine eye is
troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
9 Depart from me, all ye that work
iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10 The Lord has hearkened to my
petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
11 Let all mine enemies be put to
shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame
speedily.
