Psalms 6

Psalm 6 ESV

1David's complaint in his sickness. 8By faith he triumpheth over his enemies.
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to 1The Sheminith.a A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, 1rebuke me not in your anger, nor 2discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing; 1heal me, O Lord, 2for my bones are troubled.
3 My 1soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O Lord—2how long?
4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in 1death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?
6 I am 1weary with my 2moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My 1eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 1Depart from me, all you 2workers of evil, for the Lord 3has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my 1plea; the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall 1turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
