Psalms 6:6

Compare all

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.

9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
