Psalms 06 David seeks God's mercy and obtains forgiveness

 Psalms 06

David seeks God's mercy and obtains forgiveness

1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul is also troubled; but how long, O Lord, how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul; save me for the sake of your unfailing love.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in the grave who will give you thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7 My eyes are wasted away with grief; they have grown old because of all my enemies.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will accept my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed; let them turn back and be ashamed in a moment.
