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