Psalms 6

¹Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

²Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

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

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

⁵Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?

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

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

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

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

¹⁰All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
