Psalm 6 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 6 First Version

A Psalm of David.

¹ Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not; Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.

² Lord, pity me, for I am weak: Heal me, for my bones vexed be.

³ My soul is also vexed sore; But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?

⁴ Return, O Lord, my soul set free; O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

⁵ Because those that deceased are Of thee shall no remembrance have; And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave?

⁶ I with my groaning weary am, I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim; and I With tears my couch have watered.

⁷ Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows old, Because of all mine enemies.

⁸ Hence from me, wicked workers all; For God hath heard my weeping cries.

⁹ God hath my supplication heard, My pray'r received graciously

¹⁰ Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my foes, Sham'd and back turned suddenly.
