CHAPTER 6
O L
ORD
, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2
Have mercy upon me, O L
ORD
; for I
am
weak: O L
ORD
, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O L
ORD
, how long?
4
Return, O L
ORD
, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5
For in death
there is
no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with
my tears.
7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8
Depart fromme, all ye workers of iniquity; for the L
ORD
hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9
The L
ORD
hath heard my supplication; the L
ORD
will receive my prayer.
10
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return
and
be ashamed suddenly.
CHAPTER 7
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver
me:
2
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending
it
in pieces, while
there is
none to deliver.
3
O L
ORD
my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that
without cause is mine enemy:)
5
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take
it;
yea, let him tread down my life upon the
earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
6
Arise, O L
ORD
, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and
awake for me
to
the judgment
that
thou hast commanded.
7
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return
thou on high.
8
The L
ORD
shall judge the people: judge me, O L
ORD
, according to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity
that is
in me.
9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous
God trieth the hearts and reins.
10
My defence
is
of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry
with the wicked
every day.
12
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against
the persecutors.
