Psalms

Psalm 6

Septuagint Masoretic

For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.

6:1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

6:2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

6:3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

6:4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.

6:5 For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?

6:6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

6:7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

6:8 Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

6:9 The Lord has hearkened t my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

6:10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

6:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
