6:1 When David by his sins had provoked God’s wrath, and now felt not only his hand against him, but also conceived the horrors of death everlasting, he desireth forgiveness. 6 Bewailing that if God took him away in his indignation, he should lack occasion to praise him as he was wont to do while he was among men. 9 Then suddenly feeling God’s mercy, he sharply rebuketh his enemies which rejoiced in his affliction. To him that excelleth on Neginoth, upon the eight tune. A Psalm of David. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord heal me, for my bones are vexed.
6:3 My soul is also sore troubled: but Lord, how long wilt thou delay?
6:4 Return, O Lord: deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy’s sake.
6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall praise thee?
6:6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed every night to swim, and water my couch with my tears.
6:7 Mine eye is dimmed for despite, and sunk in because of all mine enemies.
6:8 Away from me all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receive my prayer.
6:10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
