Psalm 6

A psalm of David. 1 O LORD , do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 2 Be merciful to me, LORD , for I am faint; O LORD , heal me, for my bones are in agony. 3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD , how long? 4 Turn, O LORD , and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. 5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave? 6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. 7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. 8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
