Do not rebuke me in your anger

(Psalm 6:1-10)
1
A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lord, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
2
For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.
3
There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.
4
For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.
5
My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.
6
I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.
7
For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
8
I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
9
Lord, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
10
Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.
11
My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.
12
They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.
13
But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.
14
Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
15
For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.
16
For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.
17
Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.
18
When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,
19
Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.
20
They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I follow goodnesse.
21
Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.
22
Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lord, my saluation.

Do not rebuke me in your anger

(Psalm 6:1-10)
1
LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2
For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4
For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6
I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7
For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13
But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14
Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15
For I hope in you, LORD. You will answer, Lord my God.
16
For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17
For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18
For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19
But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20
They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21
Don’t forsake me, LORD. My God, don’t be far from me.
22
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
