6

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

1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:

O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3My soul is also sore vexed:

But thou, O Lord, how long?

4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:

O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee:

In the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6I am weary with my groaning;

All the night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

7Mine eye is consumed because of grief;

It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9The Lord hath heard my supplication;

The Lord will receive my prayer.

10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:

Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
