Psalms 6
Chapter 6 / 151
1For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
3Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
4My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
6For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
7I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with my tears.
8Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
11Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
