  • 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.
