Psalm 6
O Lord, Deliver My Life
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to vThe Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.
6 O LORD, wrebuke me not in your anger,
nor xdiscipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing;
yheal me, O LORD, zfor my bones are troubled.
3 My asoul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O LORD—bhow long?
4 Turn, O LORD, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in cdeath there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6 I am dweary with my emoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My feye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 gDepart from me, all you hworkers of evil,
for the LORD ihas heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my jplea;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.
