Psa 6:1  

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith.[fn1] A Psalm of David.

O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath.

Psa 6:2  

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

Psa 6:3  

My soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—how long?

Psa 6:4  

Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

Psa 6:5  

For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?

Psa 6:6  

I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.

Psa 6:7  

My eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.

Psa 6:8  

Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

Psa 6:9  

The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.

Psa 6:10  

All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
