Psalm 6

Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer in Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

² Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

³ My soul is also greatly troubled; but thou, O LORD, how long?

⁴ Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

⁶ I am weary with my groaning; all the night I flood my bed; I water my couch with my tears.

⁷ Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxes old because of all mine enemies.

⁸ ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹ The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD has received my prayer.

¹⁰ All my enemies shall be ashamed; they shall be sorely troubled: they shall turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
