Psalm 6

¹O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger,

or discipline me in your wrath.

²Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.

³My soul also is struck with terror,

while you, O Lord—how long?

⁴Turn, O Lord, save my life;

deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who can give you praise?

⁶I am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

⁷My eyes waste away because of grief;

they grow weak because of all my foes.

⁸Depart from me, all you workers of evil,

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹The Lord has heard my supplication;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

¹⁰All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;

they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.
