Psalms 6

PSALM 6

The LORD Delivers from the Enemy

To the director in hymns; for the eighth; a psalm to David.

1 O lord, you should not [³in your rage ¹reprove ²me], nor [³in your anger ¹correct ²me]. 2 Show mercy on me, O lord! for I am weak. Heal me, O lord! for [²are disturbed ¹my bones], 3 and my soul is disturbed exceedingly. But you, O lord, until when? 4 Return, O lord, rescue my soul! Deliver me because of your mercy! 5 For there is no [³in ⁴death ¹remembering ²you]; and in Hades, who shall make acknowledgement to you? 6 I tired in my moaning. I shall bathe [²each ³night ¹my bed]; with my tears [²my strewn bed ¹I shall rain]. 7 [²is disturbed ³from ⁴rage ¹My eye]. I grow old in all my enemies. 8 Remove from me all the ones working lawlessness! For the lord heard the sound of my weeping. 9 The lord listened to my supplication. The lord [²my prayer ¹favorably received]. 10 May they be put to shame and may they be disturbed -- all my enemies; may they be turned back and put to shame exceedingly, even quickly.
