Psalms 6:1-9

ASV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:
O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is sore troubled:
And thou, O Jehovah, how long? 4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul:
Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning;
Every night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears. 7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;
It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah will receive my prayer.
