Psalm 6

King James Version

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'sake. 

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
