Passage Psalm 6 :

Psalm 6

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.[a]

   

    1 O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
      or discipline me in your rage.
    2 Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
      Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
    3 I am sick at heart.
      How long, O Lord, until you restore me?

    4 Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
      Save me because of your unfailing love.
    5 For the dead do not remember you.
      Who can praise you from the grave?[b]

    6 I am worn out from sobbing.
      All night I flood my bed with weeping,
      drenching it with my tears.
    7 My vision is blurred by grief;
      my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

    8 Go away, all you who do evil,
      for the Lord has heard my weeping.
    9 The Lord has heard my plea;
      the Lord will answer my prayer.
   10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
      May they suddenly turn back in shame.
