Psalm 6
Brenton Septuagint Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 6 gives voice to bodily weakness, fear, and exhausting tears. The lament turns when the psalmist becomes confident that his cry has been heard and threatening opposition will finally retreat.

1For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
3Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
4My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
6For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
7I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with my tears.
8Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
11Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
