The Book of PsalmsPsalm 6
The Catholic Public Domain Version numbers the Psalms as the Latin Vulgate does. In Bibles translated from the Hebrew this is Psalm 6. Read Psalm 6 in the WEBC.
6In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave.
2O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
3Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
4and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
5Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
6For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?
7I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
8My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
9Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
