Geneva Bible (1599): Psalm 6

¹ To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

² Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

³ My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

⁴ Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee?

⁶ I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

⁷ Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

⁸ Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

⁹ The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

¹⁰ All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
