Psalm 6A Prayer for Mercy
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger;
|
|
do not discipline me in your wrath.
|
|
|
|
2. Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak;
|
|
heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking;
|
|
|
|
3. my whole being is shaken with terror.
|
|
|
|
And you, Lord--how long?
|
|
|
|
4. Turn, Lord! Rescue me;
|
|
save me because of your faithful love.
|
|
|
|
5. For there is no remembrance of you in death;
|
|
who can thank you in Sheol?
|
|
|
|
6. I am weary from my groaning;
|
|
with my tears I dampen my bed
|
|
and drench my couch every night.
|
|
|
|
7. My eyes are swollen from grief;
|
|
they grow old 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 plea for help;
|
|
the Lord accepts my prayer.
|
|
|
|
10. All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror;
|
|
they will turn back and suddenly be disgraced.
