Psalms 6

1 For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.

2 Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;

3 all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

4 Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.

5 For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.

7 My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.

8 Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,

9 the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
