2I am worn out, O Lord; have pity on me!

Give me strength; I am completely exhausted

3and my whole being is deeply troubled.

How long, O Lord, will you wait to help me?

4Come and save me, Lord;

in your mercy rescue me from death.

5In the world of the dead you are not remembered; no one can praise you there.

6I am worn out with grief;

every night my bed is damp from my weeping;

my pillow is soaked with tears.

7I can hardly see;

my eyes are so swollen

from the weeping caused by my enemies.

Read in Logos
Psalm 6:4: Turn, O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

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

heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

My soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—how long?

Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

I am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

My eye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

All night long I flood my bed with weeping

and drench my couch with tears.

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;

they fail because of all my foes.

heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking;

Turn, Lord! Rescue me;

save me because of your faithful love.

For there is no remembrance of you in death;

who can thank you in Sheol?

I am weary from my groaning;

with my tears I dampen my bed

and drench my couch every night.

My eyes are swollen from grief;

they grow old because of all my enemies.

All night I flood my bed with weeping,

drenching it with my tears.

my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

But thou, O Lord, how long?

Oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

In the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning;

All the night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief;

It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
