THE BOOK OF PSALMS
PSALM 6
David cries unto the Lord for mercyHe asks to be healed and saved.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am aweak: O LORD, bheal 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 agrave 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 atears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of ainiquity; 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.
