Psalms 6 Modern English Version (MEV)

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,nor discipline me in the heat of Your anger.

2. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am weak;O Lord, heal me, for my bones are terrified.

3. My soul is greatly troubled,but You, O Lord, how long?

4. Return, O Lord, rescue my soul.Save me for the sake of Your lovingkindness.

5. For in death there is no remembrance of You;in Sheol who will give You thanks?

6. I am weary with my groaning;all night I flood my bed with weeping;I drench my couch with my tears.

7. My eye wastes away from grief;it grows weak because of all those hostile to me.

8. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9. The Lord has heard my supplication;the Lord accepts my prayer.

10. May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified;may they turn back and be suddenly ashamed.
