6:1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
6:2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
6:3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
6:4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
6:5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?
6:6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
6:7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
6:8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
6:9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
6:10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
