Douay-Rheims 1899
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.

1Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.
6For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
