Psalm 6

¹Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; *do not punish me in your wrath.

²Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak; *heal me, Lord, for my bones are racked.

³My spirit shakes with terror; *how long, O Lord, how long?

⁴Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; *save me for your mercy’s sake.

⁵For in death no one remembers you; *and who will give you thanks in the grave?

⁶I grow weary because of my groaning; *every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.

⁷My eyes are wasted with grief *and worn away because of all my enemies.

⁸Depart from me, all evildoers, *for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹The Lord has heard my supplication; *the Lord accepts my prayer.

¹⁰All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear; *they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
