Psalm 6In Hebrew texts 6:1-10 is numbered 6:2-11. 6

₁Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger

or discipline me in your wrath.

₂Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;

heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

₃My soul is in deep anguish.

How long, Lord, how long?

₄Turn, Lord, and deliver me;

save me because of your unfailing love.

₅Among the dead no-one proclaims your name.

Who praises you from his grave?

₆I am worn out from my groaning.

All night long I flood my bed with weeping

and drench my couch with tears.

₇My eyes grow weak with sorrow;

they fail because of all my foes.

₈Away from me, all you who do evil,

for the Lord has heard my weeping.

₉The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

₁₀All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;

they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
