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

PSALM 6.
1Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.
6For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed and be very much troubled: let them be turned back and be ashamed very speedily.
