Deliver Me (Psalm 6)
Lord, don't rebuke me in Your anger
Don't discipline me in Your wrath
I am weak, my bones are shaking
I'm worn and fading on this path
Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Heal my soul, and hear my cry
For I am drowning in my sorrow
And I am weary of the night
Deliver me—O God, arise
How long, O Lord, until You rescue
Return and save me by Your grace
In death, no one gives You praises
Who will lift Your holy name
Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Heal my soul, and hear my cry
For I am drowning in my sorrow
And I am weary of the night
Deliver me—O God, arise
I flood my bed with tears each night
My eyes grow weak with grief and fight
But You, O Lord, You hear my plea
You welcome all who trust in Thee
Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Your steadfast love will not let go
You turn my mourning into singing
You lift my soul and make it whole
Deliver me—my heart is Yours
“O LORD, turn! Rescue me! Deliver me as befits Your faithfulness.”

1For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David.
2O LORD, do not punish me in anger, do not chastise me in fury.
3Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I languish; heal me, O LORD, for my bones shake with terror.
4My whole being is stricken with terror, while You, LORD—O, how long!
5O LORD, turn! Rescue me! Deliver me as befits Your faithfulness.
6For there is no praise of You among the dead; in Sheol, who can acclaim You?
7I am weary with groaning; every night I drench my bed, I melt my couch in tears.
8My eyes are wasted by vexation, worn out because of all my foes.
9Away from me, all you evildoers, for the LORD heeds the sound of my weeping.
10The LORD heeds my plea, the LORD accepts my prayer.
11All my enemies will be frustrated and stricken with terror; they will turn back in an instant, frustrated.
