Psalm 6

Revised Geneva Translation

6 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chastise me in Your wrath.

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 very troubled. But LORD, how long will You delay?

⁴ Return, O LORD. Deliver my soul. Save me for Your mercy’s sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of You. In the grave, who shall praise You?

⁶ I fainted in my mourning. Every night I cause my bed to swim, and water my couch with my tears.

⁷ My eye is dimmed for grief, and sunk in because of all my enemies.

⁸ Away from me all you workers of iniquity. For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹ The LORD has heard my petition. The LORD will receive my prayer.

¹⁰ All my enemies shall be confounded and very vexed. They shall be turned back and put to shame suddenly. Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the son of Benjamin.
