Psalms

6

New International Version

1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

3 How long, O Lord, how long?

4 save me because of your unfailing love.

5 Who praises you from the grave?

6 all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7 they fail because of all my foes.

8 for the Lord has heard my weeping.

9 the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
