1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger! Do not discipline me in your raging fury! 2 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail! Heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking! 3 I am absolutely terrified, and you, LORD--how long will this continue? 4 Relent, LORD, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness! 5 For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks? 6 I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me. 7 My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies. Psalms 6:1-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
