Psalm 6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

For the music director; with stringed instruments, ^[a]upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.

6 Lord, ^(A)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
²Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am ^(B)frail;
^(C)Heal me, Lord, for ^(D)my bones are horrified.
³And my ^(E)soul is greatly horrified;
But You, Lord—^(F)how long?

⁴Return, Lord, ^(G)rescue my ^[b]soul;
Save me because of Your mercy.
⁵For ^(H)there is no ^[c]mention of You in death;
In ^[d]Sheol, who will praise You?

⁶I am ^(I)weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I flood my couch with ^(J)my tears.
⁷My ^(K)eye has wasted away with grief;
It has grown old because of all my enemies.

⁸^(L)Leave me, all you who practice injustice,
For the Lord ^(M)has heard the sound of my weeping.
⁹The Lord ^(N)has heard my pleading,
The Lord ^(O)receives my prayer.
¹⁰All my enemies will ^(P)be put to shame and greatly horrified;
They shall ^[e]turn back, they will ^(Q)suddenly be put to shame.
