(Psalm 6:1-9)
LORD, don’t be angry and rebuke me!
Don’t punish me in your anger!
I am worn out, O LORD; have pity on me!
Give me a strength; I am completely exhausted
and my whole being is deeply troubled.
How long, O LORD, will you wait to help me?
Come and save me, LORD;
in your mercy rescue me from death.
In the world of the dead you are not remembered;
no one can praise you there.
I am worn out with grief;
every night my bed is damp from my weeping;
my pillow is soaked with tears
I can hardly see;
my eyes are so swollen from the weeping
caused by my enemies.
Keep away from me, you evil men!
The LORD hears my weeping;
he listens to my cry for help
and will answer my prayer.
