Psalm 6

    For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.^[a] A psalm of David.
 ¹ O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
   or discipline me in your wrath.
² Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
   O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
³ My soul is in anguish.
   How long, O LORD, how long?
 ⁴ Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
   save me because of your unfailing love.
⁵ No one remembers you when he is dead.
   Who praises you from the grave^[b]?
 ⁶ I am worn out from groaning;
   all night long I flood my bed with weeping
   and drench my couch with tears.
⁷ My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
   they fail because of all my foes.
 ⁸ Away from me, all you who do evil,
   for the LORD has heard my weeping.
⁹ The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
   the LORD accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
   they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
