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