Psalm 6
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.

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.
