Psalms 6 — The Old Testament Book of Psalms
1 For the leader; with stringed instruments, “upon the eighth.”()
2 Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD,
nor punish me in your wrath.()
3 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak;
heal me, LORD, for my bones are shuddering.()
4 My soul too is shuddering greatly—
and you, LORD, how long?() ()
5 Turn back, LORD, rescue my soul;
save me because of your mercy.
6 For in death there is no remembrance of you.
Who praises you in Sheol?() ()
7 I am wearied with sighing;
all night long I drench my bed with tears;
I soak my couch with weeping.
8 My eyes are dimmed with sorrow,
worn out because of all my foes.()
9 Away from me, all who do evil!()
The LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
10 The LORD has heard my plea;
the LORD will receive my prayer.
11 My foes will all be disgraced and will shudder greatly;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.()
