Psalms 6

¹O LORD , rebuke me not in thine anger,

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

²Have mercy upon me, O LORD ; for I am withered away:

O LORD , heal me; for my bones are vexed.

³My soul also is sore vexed:

And thou, O LORD , how long?

⁴Return, O LORD , deliver my soul:

Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee:

In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

⁶I am weary with my groaning;

Every night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

⁷Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;

It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

⁸Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹The LORD hath heard my supplication;

The LORD will receive my prayer.

¹⁰All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed:

They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
