Psalm 6
1
O LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
2
Have pity on me, O LORD, because I am weak. Heal me, O LORD, because my bones shake with terror.
3
My soul has been deeply shaken with terror. But you, O LORD, how long...?
4
Come back, O LORD. Rescue me. Save me because of your mercy!
5
In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you?
6
I am worn out from my groaning. My eyes flood my bed every night. I soak my couch with tears.
7
My eyes blur from grief. They fail because of my enemies.
8
Get away from me, all you troublemakers, because the LORD has heard the sound of my crying.
9
The LORD has heard my plea for mercy. The LORD accepts my prayer.
10
All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror. In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
