6. Prayer for God's Mercy
Psa 6:1
<To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.Psa 6:2
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.Psa 6:3
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?Psa 6:4
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.Psa 6:5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?Psa 6:6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.Psa 6:7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.Psa 6:8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.Psa 6:9
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.Psa 6:10
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
