A Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble
To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth upon Shem´inith, A Psalm of David.

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.

Psalms 6
6
Prayer for Mercy
1For the music director, on the eight-string lyre, a psalm of David.
2Adonai, do not rebuke me in Your anger! Do not discipline me in Your wrath.
3Be gracious to me, Adonai, for I am weak. Heal me, Adonai— for my bones are shuddering with fear,
4as is my soul— and You, Adonai—how long?
5Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
6For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You?
7I am worn out with my groaning. Every night I make my bed swim, drenching my pillow with my tears.
8My eyes are weakened with grief— they age because of my enemies.
9Away from me, all you evildoers! For Adonai heard the sound of my weeping.
10Adonai has heard my cry for mercy. Adonai accepts my prayer:
11“May all my enemies be ashamed, and stricken with terror. May they turn back in sudden disgrace.”
