Psalm 6
New King James Version
A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
6 O Lord, (B)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, (C)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly (D)troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5 (E)For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
[b]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7 (F)My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

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.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
(D)heal me, O Lord, (E)for my bones are troubled.
3 My (F)soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—(G)how long?
4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in (H)death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6 I am (I)weary with my (J)moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My (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.
9 The Lord has heard my (O)plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall (P)turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

Oración pidiendo misericordia en la prueba
Para el director del coro; con instrumentos de cuerda, sobre una lira de ocho cuerdas[a]. Salmo de David.
6 Señor, no me reprendas en tu ira,
ni me castigues en tu furor(A).
2 Ten piedad de mí, Señor, pues languidezco[b](B);
sáname(C), Señor, porque mis huesos se estremecen(D).
3 Mi alma también está muy angustiada(E);
y tú, oh Señor, ¿hasta cuándo(F)?
4 Vuélvete, Señor, rescata mi alma[c](G);
sálvame por tu misericordia.
5 Porque no hay en la muerte memoria de ti;
en el Seol[d], ¿quién te dará gracias(H)?
6 Cansado estoy de mis gemidos(I);
todas las noches inundo de llanto mi lecho[e],
con mis lágrimas(J) riego[f] mi cama.
7 Se consumen de sufrir mis ojos[g](K);
han envejecido[h] a causa de todos mis adversarios.
8 Apartaos de mí, todos los que hacéis iniquidad(L),
porque el Señor ha oído la voz de mi llanto(M).
9 El Señor ha escuchado mi súplica(N);
el Señor recibe mi oración(O).
10 Todos mis enemigos serán avergonzados(P) y se turbarán en gran manera;
se volverán[i], y de repente(Q) serán avergonzados.
