New Living Translation

Psalms • Chapter 6

1 O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger<br>or discipline me in your rage.<br> 2 Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak.<br>Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.<br> 3 I am sick at heart.<br>How long, O LORD, until you restore me?<br> 4 Return, O LORD, and rescue me.<br>Save me because of your unfailing love.<br> 5 For the dead do not remember you.<br>Who can praise you from the grave?<br> 6 I am worn out from sobbing.<br>All night I flood my bed with weeping,<br>drenching it with my tears.<br> 7 My vision is blurred by grief;<br>my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.<br> 8 Go away, all you who do evil,<br>for the LORD has heard my weeping.<br> 9 The LORD has heard my plea;<br>the LORD will answer my prayer.<br> 10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.<br>May they suddenly turn back in shame.<br>
