Psalms Chapter 6

New International Version

1 Psalm 6 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.

5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?

6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.

8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
