The Sixth Psalm
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 iniquity; * 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.
