6th Day Morning - Psalm 6

Psalm 6   Domine, ne in furore

 

1            Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; *

        do not punish me in your wrath.

2            Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak; *

        heal me, Lord, for my bones are racked.

 

3            My spirit shakes with terror; *

        how long, O Lord, how long?

 

4            Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; *

        save me for your mercy’s sake.

 

5            For in death no one remembers you; *

        and who will give you thanks in the grave?

 

6            I grow weary because of my groaning; *

        every night I drench my bed

        and flood my couch with tears.

 

7            My eyes are wasted with grief *

        and worn away because of all my enemies.

 

8            Depart from me, all evildoers, *

        for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

 

9            The Lord has heard my supplication; *

        the Lord accepts my prayer.

 

10            All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear; *

        they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
