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
PSALM 6
Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.
To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set [possibly] an octave below. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
2Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am weak (faint, frail);
Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed and anguished.
3My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?
4Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.
5For in death there is no mention of You;
In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning;
Every night I soak my bed with tears,
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7My eye grows dim with grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.
8Depart from me, all you who do evil,
For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my supplication [my plea for grace];
The Lord receives my prayer.
10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly horrified;
Let them turn back, let them suddenly be ashamed [of what they have done].
