Psalm 6:1-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 6

A Prayer for Mercy

For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to Sheminith.(A) A Davidic psalm.

1 Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger;
do not discipline me in Your wrath.(B)
2 Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak;[a](C)
heal me,(D) Lord, for my bones are shaking;(E)
3 my whole being is shaken with terror.(F)
And You, Lord—how long?(G)

4 Turn, Lord! Rescue me;
save me because of Your faithful love.(H)
5 For there is no remembrance of You in death;
who can thank You in Sheol?(I)

6 I am weary from my groaning;(J)
with my tears I dampen my pillow[b]
and drench my bed every night.(K)
7 My eyes are swollen from grief;(L)
they[c] grow old because of all my enemies.
