Psalm 6

Domine, ne in furore

1
LORD , do not rebuke me in your anger;
do not punish me in your wrath.
2
Have pity on me, LORD , for I am weak;
heal me, LORD , for my bones are racked.
3
My spirit shakes with terror;
how long, O LORD , how long?
4
Turn, O LORD , and deliver me;
save me for your mercy's sake.
5
For in death no one remembers you;
and who will give you thanks in the grave?
6
I grow weary because of my groaning;
every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.
7
My eyes are wasted with grief
and worn away because of all my enemies.
8
Depart from me, all evildoers,
for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my supplication;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
10
All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear;
they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
