Psalm 6

^{Tools
1} For the choir director; with stringed instruments, ^(a)upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, ^(A)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your wrath.

^{Tools
2}

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am ^(B)pining away;
^(C)Heal me, O Lord, for ^(D)my bones are dismayed.

^{Tools
3}

And my ^(E)soul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Lord—^(F)how long?

^{Tools
4}

Return, O Lord, ^(G)rescue my ^(b)soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

^{Tools
5}

For ^(H)there is no ^(c)mention of You in death;
In ^(d)Sheol who will give You thanks?

^{Tools
6}

I am ^(I)weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with ^(J)my tears.

^{Tools
7}

My ^(K)eye has wasted away with grief;
It has become old because of all my adversaries.

^{Tools
8}

^(L)Depart from me, all you who do iniquity,
For the Lord ^(M)has heard the voice of my weeping.

^{Tools
9}

The Lord ^(N)has heard my supplication,
The Lord ^(O)receives my prayer.

^{Tools
10}

All my enemies will ^(P)be ashamed and greatly dismayed;
They shall ^(e)turn back, they will ^(Q)suddenly be ashamed.
