Psalm 6| Prayer in Time of Distress

<<To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.>> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly. (Psalms 6:1-10 KJV)

Psalms Sixteen- God Preserves | Psalms for the Soul

Michtam of David.

A Poem

 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.  O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extend not to you  But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.  The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.

The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.  I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.  I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoice my flesh also shall rest in hope.  For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer (allow) your Holy One to see corruption.

Psalms 16:11
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

 (KJV)

Psalms Six - Psalms for the Soul

 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed but you, O LORD, how long? 

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake. For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it wax old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

 (KJV)
