Psalm 6

English Standard Version

O Lord, Deliver My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to ^(A)The Sheminith.^[a] A Psalm of David.

6 O Lord, ^(B)rebuke me not in your anger,
    nor ^(C)discipline me in your wrath.
²Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
    ^(D)heal me, O Lord, ^(E)for my bones are troubled.
³My ^(F)soul also is greatly troubled.
    But you, O Lord—^(G)how long?

⁴Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
⁵For in ^(H)death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?

⁶I am ^(I)weary with my ^(J)moaning;
    every night I flood my bed with tears;
    I drench my couch with my weeping.
⁷My ^(K)eye wastes away because of grief;
    it grows weak because of all my foes.

⁸^(L)Depart from me, all you ^(M)workers of evil,
    for the Lord ^(N)has heard the sound of my weeping.
⁹The Lord has heard my ^(O)plea;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
    they shall ^(P)turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

English Standard Version

⁴^(A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. ⁵Let your reasonableness^[a] be known to everyone. ^(B)The Lord is at hand; ⁶^(C)do not be anxious about anything, ^(D)but in everything by prayer and supplication ^(E)with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷And ^(F)the peace of God, ^(G)which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹What you have learned^[b] and ^(H)received and heard and seen ^(I)in me—practice these things, and ^(J)the God of peace will be with you.
