Psalm 6, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
 

2

Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
 

3

My soul is in anguish.
How long, O LORD, how long?
 

4

Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
 

5

No one remembers you when he is dead.
Who praises you from the grave?
 

6

I am worn out from groaning;
all night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
 

7

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
 

8

Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the LORD has heard my weeping.
 

9

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
 

10

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
