Psalms 6
1In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave.
2O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
3Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
4and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
5Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
6For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?
7I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
8My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
9Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
