Psalms 6

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

For the music director; with stringed instruments, ^{▼▼Or according to a lower octave (Heb Sheminith)}upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.

1 Lord, ^bdo not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am ^cfrail;
^dHeal me, Lord, for ^emy bones are horrified.
3 And my ^fsoul is greatly horrified;
But You, Lord-- ^ghow long?

4 Return, Lord, ^hrescue my ^{▼▼Or life}soul;
Save me because of Your mercy.
5 For ^jthere is no ^{▼▼Or remembrance}mention of You in death;
In ^{▼▼I.e., the netherworld}Sheol, who will praise You?

6 I am ^mweary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I flood my couch with ⁿmy tears.
7 My ^oeye has wasted away with grief;
It has grown old because of all my enemies.

8 ^pLeave me, all you who practice injustice,
For the Lord ^qhas heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord ^rhas heard my pleading,
The Lord ^sreceives my prayer.
10 All my enemies will ^tbe put to shame and greatly horrified;
They shall ^{▼▼Or again be abruptly put to shame}turn back, they will ^vsuddenly be put to shame.
