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
Prayer for Mercy
1For the music director, on the eight-string lyre, a psalm of David.
2Adonai, do not rebuke me in Your anger! Do not discipline me in Your wrath.
3Be gracious to me, Adonai, for I am weak. Heal me, Adonai— for my bones are shuddering with fear,
4as is my soul— and You, Adonai—how long?
5Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
6For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You?
7I am worn out with my groaning. Every night I make my bed swim, drenching my pillow with my tears.
8My eyes are weakened with grief— they age because of my enemies.
9Away from me, all you evildoers! For Adonai heard the sound of my weeping.
10Adonai has heard my cry for mercy. Adonai accepts my prayer:
11“May all my enemies be ashamed, and stricken with terror. May they turn back in sudden disgrace.”
