The Seven Penitential Psalms - Psalm 6 Domine, Ne In Furore

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy anger,
nor chasten me in thy wrath.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

My soul also is sorely troubled.
But thou, O Lord -- how long?

Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of thy steadfast love.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee;
in Sheol who can give thee praise?

I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.

My eye wastes away because of grief,
it grows weak because of all my foes.

Depart from me, all you workers of evil;
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.

All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled;
they shall turn back, and be put to shame in a moment. Glory...
