Psalms 6:1-7
112Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger! Do not discipline me in your raging fury!
2Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am frail! Heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking!
3I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord – how long will this continue?
4Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!
5For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?
6I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.
7My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies.
Notes
- 1. Psalms 6:1 Psalm 6. The psalmist begs the Lord to withdraw his anger and spare his life. Having received a positive response to his prayer, the psalmist then confronts his enemies and describes how they retreat. ↩
- 2. Psalms 6:1 The meaning of the Hebrew term שְׁמִינִית (shÿminit, “sheminith”) is uncertain; perhaps it refers to a particular style of music. See 1 Chr 15:21. ↩
