Psalms 6
Bishops' Bible
1To the chiefe musition on Neginoth vpon eyght, a psalme of Dauid. O God rebuke me not in thine indignation: neither chasten me in thy wrath.
2Haue mercy on me O God, for I am weake: O God heale me, for my bones be very sore.
3My soule also is greatly troubled: but O God howe long shall I be in this case?
4Turne thee O God, and deliuer my soule: Oh saue me for thy mercies sake.
5For in death no man remembreth thee: and in the graue who can acknowledge thee?
6I am weerie of my groning: I washe my bed euery nyght, and I water my coutche with my teares.
7Mine eye is almost put out through griefe: and worne out through all mine enemies.
8Away from me all workers of iniquitie: for God hath hearde the voyce of my weeping.
9God hath hearde my petition: God wyll receaue my prayer.
10All myne enemies shalbe confounded and sore vexed: they shalbe turned backe, they shalbe put to shame sodainlye.
