Psalm 6 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 6

O Lord, Deliver My Life

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

O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath. 2

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

heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled. 3

My soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—how long?
4

Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 5

For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?
6

I am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping. 7

My eye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.
8

Depart from me, all you workers of evil,

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. 9

The Lord has heard my plea;

the Lord accepts my prayer. 10

All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

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