Psalms 6:1-7

¹To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

²Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are agitated.

³My soul is also greatly disquieted: but thou, O LORD, how long?

⁴Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies sake.

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who will give thee thanks?

⁶I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

⁷My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.
