Psalms 6

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. #Ps. 12:titleOn an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, #Ps. 38:1; 118:18; (Jer. 10:24)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, #Ps. 41:4; 147:3; (Hos. 6:1)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3My soul also is greatly #Ps. 88:3; John 12:27troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5#Ps. 30:9; 88:10–12; 115:17; (Eccl. 9:10); Is. 38:18For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7#Job 17:7; Ps. 31:9My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.
8#(Matt. 25:41)Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has #Ps. 3:4; 28:6heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.
10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

PSALM 6
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure. 2Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble. 3And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long? 4Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake. 5For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? 6I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears. 7Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer. 10All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
