Psalm 6 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

Psa 6:1

To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set [possibly] an octave below. A Psalm of David.

O LORD, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger,

Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

Psa 6:2

Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am weak (faint, frail);

Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed and anguished.

Psa 6:3

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.

But as for You, O LORD—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

Psa 6:4

Return, O LORD, rescue my soul;

Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.

Psa 6:5

For in death there is no mention of You;

In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?

Psa 6:6

I am weary with my groaning;

Every night I soak my bed with tears,

I drench my couch with my weeping.

Psa 6:7

My eye grows dim with grief;

It grows old because of all my enemies.

Psa 6:8

Depart from me, all you who do evil,

For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Psa 6:9

The LORD has heard my supplication [my plea for grace];

The LORD receives my prayer.

Psa 6:10

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly horrified;

Let them turn back, let them suddenly be ashamed [of what they have done].
