Psalms 6

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, ^{▼▼ Or according to a lower octave (Heb Sheminith)}upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, ^bdo not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am ^cpining away;
^dHeal me, O Lord, for ^emy bones are dismayed.
3 And my ^fsoul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Lord— ^ghow long?

4 Return, O Lord, ^hrescue my ^{▼▼ Or life}soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
5 For ^jthere is no ^{▼▼ Or remembrance}mention of You in death;
In ^{▼▼ I.e. the nether world}Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am ^mweary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with ⁿmy tears.
7 My ^oeye has wasted away with grief;
It has become old because of all my adversaries.

8 ^pDepart from me, all you who do iniquity,
For the Lord ^qhas heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord ^rhas heard my supplication,
The Lord ^sreceives my prayer.
10 All my enemies will ^tbe ashamed and greatly dismayed;
They shall ^{▼▼ Or again be ashamed suddenly}turn back, they will ^vsuddenly be ashamed.
