1Psalm 6 Prayer in Distress - For the leader; with stringed instruments, “upon the eighth.” A psalm of David. 2I - Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath. 3Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shuddering. 4My soul too is shuddering greatly— and you, LORD, how long…? 5Turn back, LORD, rescue my soul; save me because of your mercy. 6For in death there is no remembrance of you. Who praises you in Sheol? 7II - I am wearied with sighing; all night long I drench my bed with tears; I soak my couch with weeping. 8My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes. 9III - Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. 10The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will receive my prayer. 11My foes will all be disgraced and will shudder greatly; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
