Psalms 6

¹To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set [possibly] an octave below. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

²Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am weak (faint, frail); Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed and anguished.

³My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed. But as for You, O LORD—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

⁴Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.

⁵For in death there is no mention of You; In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?

⁶I am weary with my groaning; Every night I soak my bed with tears, I drench my couch with my weeping.

⁷My eye grows dim with grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.

⁸Depart from me, all you who do evil, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹The LORD has heard my supplication [my plea for grace]; The LORD receives my prayer.

¹⁰Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly horrified; Let them turn back, let them suddenly be ashamed [of what they have done].
