Psalms 6

LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your hot displeasure. Be gracious to me, Lord, because I'm weak. Heal me, Lord, because my bones are troubled. My soul is deeply troubled — and you, Lord, how long? Come back, Lord. Deliver my soul. Save me for the sake of your mercy.

How long?

LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your hot displeasure. Be gracious to me, Lord, because I'm weak. Heal me, Lord, because my bones are troubled. My soul is deeply troubled — and you, Lord, how long? Come back, Lord. Deliver my soul. Save me for the sake of your mercy. Because in death nobody remembers you. In the grave, who'll give you thanks? I'm weary with my groaning. I make my bed swim every night. I soak my couch with my tears. My eye is eaten out with grief. It's gone old because of everyone against me. Get away from me, all you who do wrong, because the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will receive my prayer. All my enemies will be ashamed and shake hard. They'll turn back and be ashamed in a moment.

Lord, don't pull me up in your anger or set me straight in your fury. Be gracious to me, Lord, because I'm worn thin. Heal me, Lord, because my bones are shaking. My soul is shaking hard — and you, Lord, how long? Come back, Lord. Get my soul out. Save me for the sake of your faithful love. Because in death nobody remembers you. In the grave, who'll give you thanks? I'm worn out with my groaning. I make my bed swim every night. I soak my couch with my tears. My eye is eaten out with grief. It's gone old because of everyone against me. Get away from me, all you who do wrong, because the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. The Lord has heard my pleading. The Lord will take my prayer. All my enemies will be ashamed and shake hard. They'll turn back and be ashamed in a moment.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
