Psalm 6 - NASB Online - Literal Word

PSALM 6

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.
6:1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,

Nor chasten me in Your wrath.

2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am pining away;

Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed.

3 And my soul is greatly dismayed;

But You, O LORD--how long?

4 Return, O LORD, rescue my soul;

Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

5 For there is no mention of You in death;

In Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my sighing;

Every night I make my bed swim,

I dissolve my couch with my tears.

7 My eye has wasted away with grief;

It has become old because of all my adversaries.

8 Depart from me, all you who do iniquity,

For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my supplication,

The LORD receives my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;

They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.
