Psalm 6

    LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
    Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint;
heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
    My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, LORD, how long?
    Turn, LORD, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
    Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?
    I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
    My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
    Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the LORD has heard my weeping.
    The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
    All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
