Psalm 6
For the choir director; with stringed instruments, on the sheminith; #6:0 Unknown musical term. a psalm by David.
1O Lord, do not punish me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
2Have pity on me, O Lord, because I am weak.
Heal me, O Lord, because my bones shake with terror.
3My soul has been deeply shaken with terror.
But you, O Lord, how long … ?
4Come back, O Lord.
Rescue me.
Save me because of your mercy!
5In death, no one remembers you.
In the grave, who praises you?
6I am worn out from my groaning.
My eyes flood my bed every night.
I soak my couch with tears.
7My eyes blur from grief.
They fail because of my enemies.
8Get away from me, all you troublemakers,
because the Lord has heard the sound of my crying.
9The Lord has heard my plea for mercy.
The Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror.
In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. #Ps. 12:titleOn an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, #Ps. 38:1; 118:18; (Jer. 10:24)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, #Ps. 41:4; 147:3; (Hos. 6:1)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3My soul also is greatly #Ps. 88:3; John 12:27troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5#Ps. 30:9; 88:10–12; 115:17; (Eccl. 9:10); Is. 38:18For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7#Job 17:7; Ps. 31:9My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.
8#(Matt. 25:41)Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has #Ps. 3:4; 28:6heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.
10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
