Context of Psalms 6:6
4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake. 5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? I 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. 8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
