PSALM 6 L.M.

1 LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not;
In anger do not chasten me.
2 Have mercy, LORD, for I am faint;
LORD, heal me in my agony.

3 My soul with anguish is distressed.
O LORD, how long will you delay?
4 Turn to me, LORD, and free my soul;
In steadfast love save me, I pray.

5 No one in death remembers you;
Who from the grave can give you praise?
6 My groaning weakens me; at night
My bed is drenched with tears always.

7 My eyes grow weak with tears of grief;
They fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me, you evil crowd!
The LORD has listened to my woes.

9 The LORD has heard my prayer for help;
The LORD has listened to my plea.
10 My enemies, disgraced and shamed,
Will turn back from me suddenly.
