Psalms 6
1 For the director of music; with stringed instruments, according to the Sheminith. A psalm of David.
2 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your fury.
3 Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am without strength; heal me, LORD, for my bones are terrified.
4 My soul is deeply terrified. And you, LORD—how long?
5 Turn to me, LORD; rescue my life. Save me because of your faithful love.
6 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol, who will praise you?
7 I am weary from my groaning; every night I soak my bed and drench my couch with my tears.
8 My eyes are worn out with grief; they have grown old because of all my adversaries.
9 Go away from me, all you who practice evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
10 The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer.
11 All my enemies will be ashamed and deeply terrified; they will turn back and be ashamed in an instant.
