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.

Psalm 6
6
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave.
2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
4 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?
7 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
8 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
9 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
