Psalms, Chapter 6

1. To the Chief Musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your anger, nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury.    2. Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.    3. My soul also is exceedingly troubled; but You, O LORD, how long?    4. Return, O LORD, return; deliver my soul; save me for Your mercy's sake.    5. For in death there is no memory of You; in the grave who shall give You thanks?    6. I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.    7. My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all my enemies.    8. Depart from me, all workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.    9. The LORD has heard my cry; the LORD will receive my prayer.    10. Let all my enemies be ashamed and exceedingly troubled; let them turn back and be ashamed in a moment.
