Psalms 6 New Living Translation (NLT)

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.

1. O  lord, don’t rebuke me in your angeror discipline me in your rage.

2. Have compassion on me, lord, for I am weak.Heal me, lord, for my bones are in agony.

3. I am sick at heart.How long, O  lord, until you restore me?

4. Return, O  lord, and rescue me.Save me because of your unfailing love.

5. For the dead do not remember you.Who can praise you from the grave?

6. I am worn out from sobbing.All night I flood my bed with weeping,drenching it with my tears.

7. My vision is blurred by grief;my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

8. Go away, all you who do evil,for the lord has heard my weeping.

9. The lord has heard my plea;the lord will answer my prayer.

10. May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.May they suddenly turn back in shame.
