Psalms 6

Don't Rebuke Me in Your Anger
1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger,
 nor discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing;
 heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled.
 But you, O LORD—how long?

4 Turn, O LORD, deliver my life;
 save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;
 in Sheol who will give you praise?

6 I am weary with my moaning;
 every night I flood my bed with tears;
 I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief;
 it grows weak because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
 for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my plea;
 the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
 they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
