Psalms 6

Verse 1. 1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Verse 2. 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Verse 3. 3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Verse 4. 4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. Verse 5. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? Verse 6. 6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Verse 7. 7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Verse 8. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. Verse 9. 9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Verse 10. 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
