Psalm 6:1-5

Common English Bible

6 Please, Lord,
    don’t punish me when you are angry;
    don’t discipline me when you are furious.
² Have mercy on me, Lord,
    because I’m frail.
Heal me, Lord,
    because my bones are shaking in terror!
³ My whole body^[b] is completely terrified!
        But you, Lord! How long will this last?
⁴ Come back to me, Lord! Deliver me!
    Save me for the sake of your faithful love!
⁵ No one is going to praise you
    when they are dead.
Who gives you thanks
    from the grave?^[c]
