Psalm 6
A Prayer for Mercy in
Time of Trouble |
To the chief Musician on
Neg'inoth upon Shem'inith, A Psalm of
David. |
|
1 |
O LORD, rebuke me
not in thine anger,
|
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Ps.
38.1 |
|
|
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; Mt. 7.23 · Lk. 13.27
|
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. |
