Psalms 6

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O LORD, how long?

4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; save me for Thy mercy's sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.

7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD receiveth my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
