Psalms 6 / 150
- 1
(O Lord, Deliver My Life)To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath.
- 2
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
- 3
My soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord--how long?
- 4
Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
- 5
For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
- 6
I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
- 7
My eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
- 8
Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
- 9
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
- 10
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
