Psalms 6:5

Compare all

3 My soul also is greatly ^atroubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?

4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

5 ^aFor in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning;
¹All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.

7 ^aMy eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

8 ^aDepart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has ^bheard the voice of my weeping.
