New International Version

Psalm 6:1-7 New International Version (NIV)

1. Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2. Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

3. My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long?

4. Turn, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.

5. Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?

6. I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
