Psalms 6:1-4

¹To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

²Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

³My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

⁴Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.
