Psalm 6

A Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble

To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth upon Shem´inith, A Psalm of David.

1 # Ps 38.1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,

neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:

O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3My soul is also sore vexed:

but thou, O Lord, how long?

4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:

oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee:

in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6I am weary with my groaning;

all the night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

7Mine eye is consumed because of grief;

it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 # Matt 7.23; Luke 13.27. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9The Lord hath heard my supplication;

the Lord will receive my prayer.

10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:

let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
