Psalm 6
Domine, ne in furore

O Lord, rebuke me not in thine indignation, neither chasten
me in thy displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for
I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed. My soul
also is sore troubled; but, Lord, how long wilt thou punish
me? Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul; O save me for
thy mercy’s sake. For in death no man remembereth thee;
and who will give thee thanks in the pit?
I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed, and
water my couch with my tears. My beauty is gone for very
trouble, and worn away because of all mine enemies.
Away from me, all ye that work vanity; for the Lord hath
heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord hath heard my petition;
the Lord will receive my prayer. All mine enemies
shall be confounded, and sore vexed; they shall be turned
back, and put to shame suddenly.

[Psalms of Coverdale, edited by w. s. peterson and valerie macys]

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.  My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?  Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.  For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?  I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.  Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.  The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.  Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly. [AV]
