Psalms 6:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. ”8224; A psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not discipline me in your wrath.

2 Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking;

3 my whole being is shaken with terror. And you, LORD—how long?

4 Turn, LORD! Rescue me; save me because of your faithful love.

5 For there is no remembrance of you in death; who can thank you in Sheol?

6 I am weary from my groaning; with my tears I dampen my bed and drench my couch every night.

7 My eyes are swollen from grief; they grow old because of all my enemies.

8 Depart from me, all evildoers, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my plea for help; the LORD accepts my prayer.
