Psalms 6:1-6

¹For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.

²Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;

³all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

⁴Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.

⁵For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you?

⁶I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.
