PSALM 6
First Version
Meter: 8,8,8,8
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith,
A Psalm of David.
1Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not;
Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.
2Lord, pity me, for I am weak:
Heal me, for my bones vexed be.
3My soul is also vexed sore;
But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?
4Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
O save me, for thy mercies' sake.
5Because those that deceased are
Of thee shall no remembrance have;
And who is he that will to thee
Give praises lying in the grave?
6I 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.
7Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows old,
Because of all mine enemies.
8Hence from me, wicked workers all;
For God hath heard my weeping cries.
9God hath my supplication heard,
My pray'r received graciously
10Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my foes,
Sham'd and back turned suddenly.

Psalms 6
6
Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger
(Psalms 38:1–22)
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith.#6:0 Sheminith is probably a musical term; here and in 1 Chronicles 15:21 and Psalms 12:1. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath.
2Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am frail;
heal me, O Lord, for my bones are in agony.
3My soul is deeply distressed.
How long, O Lord, how long?
4Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul;
save me because of Your loving devotion.
5For there is no mention of You in death;
who can praise You from Sheol?
6I am weary from groaning;
all night I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
7My eyes fail from grief;
they grow dim because of all my foes.
8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
