Chapter 6
(NLT)
Psalms 6
Ready to read
1
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.[8] O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
2
Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3
I am sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me?
4
Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.
5
For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?[9]
6
I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.
7
My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
8
Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.
10
May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
