Psalm 6:1-10
(Of the Director; with string accompaniment; bass voices. A psalm of David’s.)
6 Jehovah, do not correct me in your angernor chastise me in your ire;
2 Do me a kindness, Jehovah, because I am forlorn;make me well, Jehovah, because my bones are flinching.
3 My soul is flinching utterly;Jehovah, how long will you?
4 Come back, Jehovah, rescue my soul;save me for your friendship’s sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you,in the world below who will give you thanks?
6 I am tired with moaning; all nightI wash my bed with my tears;I melt down my bedstead.
7 My eyes have been wearing away for vexation,aging by all that distress me.
8 Away from me, all you that commit villainy,for Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping,
9 Jehovah has heard my petition,Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be in great shame and consternation,will turn back and be in sudden shame.
