Psalm 6 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress

Psa 6:1To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp.[fn] A Psalm of David.

O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

Psa 6:2

Psa 6:2Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak;
O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Psa 6:3

Psa 6:3My soul also is greatly troubled;
But You, O LORD—how long?

Psa 6:4

Psa 6:4Return, O LORD, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

Psa 6:5

Psa 6:5For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

Psa 6:6

Psa 6:6I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.

Psa 6:7

Psa 6:7My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

Psa 6:8

Psa 6:8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Psa 6:9

Psa 6:9The LORD has heard my supplication;
The LORD will receive my prayer.

Psa 6:10

Psa 6:10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
