PSALM 6
A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp.[fn] A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
​​Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2 ​​Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak;
​​O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 ​​My soul also is greatly troubled;
​​But You, O LORD—how long?
​
4 ​​Return, O LORD, deliver me!
​​Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5 ​​For in death there is no remembrance of You;
​​In the grave who will give You thanks?
​
6 ​​I am weary with my groaning;
​​All night I make my bed swim;
​​I drench my couch with my tears.
7 ​​My eye wastes away because of grief;
​​It grows old because of all my enemies.
​
8 ​​Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
​​For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 ​​The LORD has heard my supplication;
​​The LORD will receive my prayer.
10 ​​Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
​​Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
