          DASV: Psalm 6    

For the music director, with stringed instruments;
according to the Sheminith. A psalm of David


1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger,
      or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, O LORD,
      for I am frail.
           O LORD, heal me,
      for my bones are troubled in agony.
3 My soul is absolutely troubled in anguish,
     and you, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul;
      save me because of your loyal love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you,
      in the grave, who praises you?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
      every night I flood my bed with weeping;
           I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eyes are blurry because of grief;
      they are worn out because of all my adversaries.
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 supplication;
     the LORD will accept my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be shamed and greatly quake in anguish;
      they will turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
