Psalm 6

When Dauid by his ſinnes had prouoked Gods wrath, and now felt not onely his hand againſt him, but alſo conceiued the horrors of death euerlaſting, he deſireth forgiuenes. 6 Bewailing that if God take him awaie in his indignation, he ſhulde lacke occaſion to praiſe him as he was wont to do, whiles he was among men. 9 Then ſuddenly feling Gods mercie, he ſharpely rebuketh his enemies which reioyced in his affliction.
To him that excelleth on Neginóth vpon the eight tune, A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.O Lord,  rebuke me not in thine angre, nether chaſtiſe me in thy wrath.
2.Haue mercie vpon me, ô Lord, for I am weake: ô Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.
3.My ſoule is alſo ſore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
4.Returne, ô Lord: deliuer my ſoule: ſaue me for thy mercies ſake.
5.For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who ſhal praiſe thee?
6.I fainted in my mournĩg: I cauſe my bed euery night to ſwimme, & water my couche with my teares.
7.Mine eye is dimmed for deſpite, & ſunke in becauſe of all mine enemies.
8.Awaie from me all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hathe heard the voyce of my weping.
9.The Lord hathe heard my peticion: the Lord wil receiue my praier.
10.All mine enemies ſhal be confounded & ſore vexed: thei ſhal be turned backe, and put to ſhame ſuddenly.
