2019 Book Of Common Prayer: Psalm 6

1 year ago

Psalm 6:
O Lord, rebuke me not in your indignation,
neither chasten me in your displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are racked.
My soul also is greatly troubled;
but, Lord, how long will you punish me?
Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul;
O save me for your mercy's sake.
For in death no one remembers you,
and who will give you thanks in the grave?
I am weary with my groaning;
every night I flood my bed and drench my couch with my tears.
My eyes have become dim because of trouble,
and worn away because of all my enemies.
Away from me, all you who work wickedness,
for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my petition;
the Lord will receive my prayer.
All my enemies shall be confounded and greatly vexed;
they shall be turned back and put to shame suddenly.
