GodsWord - Psalms - 6

6:1  O LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.

6:2  Have pity on me, O LORD, because I am weak. Heal me, O LORD, because my bones shake with terror.

6:3  My soul has been deeply shaken with terror. But you, O LORD, how long...?

6:4  Come back, O LORD. Rescue me. Save me because of your mercy!

6:5  In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you?

6:6  I am worn out from my groaning. My eyes flood my bed every night. I soak my couch with tears.

6:7  My eyes blur from grief. They fail because of my enemies.

6:8  Get away from me, all you troublemakers, because the LORD has heard the sound of my crying.

6:9  The LORD has heard my plea for mercy. The LORD accepts my prayer.

6:10  All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror. In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
