Psalm 6:2-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.(A)
3 My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord—how long?(B)
4 Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who can give you praise?(C)
6 I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My eyes waste away because of grief;
they grow weak because of all my foes.(D)
8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.(E)
9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.(F)
