Psalm 6

O Lord, Deliver My Life

¹ O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger,
or discipline me in your wrath.
² Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.
³ My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord--how long?

⁴ Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.
⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who can give you praise?

⁶ I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
⁷ My eyes waste away because of grief;
they grow weak because of all my foes.

⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
⁹ The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;
they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.
