Psalms 6

¹ For the leader; with stringed instruments, "upon the eighth." A psalm of David.

² Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath.

³ Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are trembling.

⁴ In utter terror is my soul-- and you, LORD, how long...?

⁵ Turn, LORD, save my life; in your mercy rescue me.

⁶ For who among the dead remembers you? Who praises you in Sheol?

⁷ I am wearied with sighing; all night long tears drench my bed; my couch is soaked with weeping.

⁸ My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes.

⁹ Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard my weeping.

¹⁰ The LORD has heard my prayer; the LORD takes up my plea.

¹¹ My foes will be terrified and disgraced; all will fall back in sudden shame.
