Psalm 6

O Lord, Deliver My Life

6To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to ^vThe Sheminith.¹ A Psalm of David.

¹O Lord, ^wrebuke me not in your anger,

nor ^xdiscipline me in your wrath.

²Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

^yheal me, O Lord, ^zfor my bones are troubled.

³My ^asoul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—^bhow long?

⁴Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

⁵For in ^cdeath there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

⁶I am ^dweary with my ^emoaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

⁷My ^feye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

^8gDepart from me, all you ^hworkers of evil,

for the Lord ⁱhas heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹The Lord has heard my ^jplea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

¹⁰All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall ^kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.
