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.
