The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 6

 

 

1.

 

To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.
O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

    
 
 

2.

 

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

    
 
 

3.

 

My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

    
 
 

4.

 

Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

    
 
 

5.

 

For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

    
 
 

6.

 

The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

    
 
 

7.

 

My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

    
 
 

8.

 

Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

    
 
 

9.

 

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

    
 
 

10.

 

Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
