Psalm 6

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹ Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger.
Do not discipline me in your wrath.
² Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am fading away.
Heal me, Lord, for my bones are trembling,
³ and my soul is terrified.
But you, O Lord—how long?
⁴ Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul.
Save me because of your mercy.
⁵ For in death no one remembers you.
In the grave who praises you?
⁶ I am worn out from my groaning.
I flood my bed all night long.
With my tears I drench my couch.
⁷ My eyes are blurred by sorrow.
They are worn out because of all my foes.

⁸ Turn away from me, all you evildoers,
because the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
⁹ The Lord has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ They will be put to shame.
All my enemies will be terrified.
They will turn back.
They will be put to shame in an instant.
