Psalm 6 — A Prayer for Mercy and Healing

1 Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, and do not punish me in Your wrath. 2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for I am shaken to my very bones. 3 My soul is greatly shaken. And You, O Lord, how long.. 4 Return, Lord, save my soul. Deliver me, because You are merciful. 5 For in death there is no one who remembers You. In the grave who will give thanks to You? 6 I am weary from my groanings. Every night I wash my bed, and with my tears I soak my couch. 7 My eye wasted away from grief and grew weak because of my enemies. 8 Depart from me, all you who practice lawlessness, for the Lord has heard the voice of my crying. 9 The Lord heard my plea. the Lord accepted my prayer. 10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. Let them turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
