Psalms 6

1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1 O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

2Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

3My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

4Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

5For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

6The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

7My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

8Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

9The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

9The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

10Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
