Psalm 6

O Lord, Deliver My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to #1 Chr. 15:21The Sheminith.#6:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term A Psalm of David.

1O Lord, #Ps. 38:1 rebuke me not in your anger,

nor #[Ps. 94:12; 118:18; Prov. 3:11, 12; Jer. 30:11; 46:28]; See Heb. 12:3-11discipline me in your wrath.

2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

# Ps. 30:2; 41:4; 103:3 heal me, O Lord, #See Ps. 31:10for my bones are troubled.

3My #[John 12:27] soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—#Ps. 90:13how long?

4Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5For in #Ps. 30:9; 88:10-12; 115:17; Isa. 38:18death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

6I am #Ps. 69:3 weary with my #Ps. 38:9moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

7My #Ps. 31:9; 88:9; [Ps. 38:10; Job 17:7; Lam. 2:11; 5:17]eye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

8 # Ps. 119:115; 139:19; Matt. 7:23; 25:41; Luke 13:27 Depart from me, all you #Ps. 94:4 workers of evil,

for the Lord #[Ps. 3:4]has heard the sound of my weeping.

9The Lord has heard my #Ps. 55:1; 1 Kgs. 8:38plea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall #Ps. 40:14; 56:9turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
