Psalms 6

New Living Translation (NLT)

Switch Version:

¹ For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.[8] O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.

² Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.

³ I am sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me?

⁴ Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.

⁵ For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?[9]

⁶ I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.

⁷ My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

⁸ Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

⁹ The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.

¹⁰ May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
