Psalm 6 - English Standard Version 2016

O Lord , Deliver My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

¹ 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.
