Psalms

Psalm 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul is also troubled exceedingly but thou, O LORD, how long?

4 Return, O LORD, and deliver my soul: save me for thy mercies' sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning; and every night I water my bed and wash my mattress with my tears.

7 Mine eye is weakened because of anger; and I am troubled by all my enemies.

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 has received my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and defeated; let them turn back and be destroyed suddenly.
