Chapter 6

David, by faith, triumpheth. (To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm ofDavid.)

1)O LORDLord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

3)My soul is also sore vexed:; but thou, O LORDLord, how long?

4)Return, O LORDLord, deliver my soul:; oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

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

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

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

8)Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORDLord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9)The LORDLord hath heard my supplication; the LORDLord will receive my prayer.

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