[ Read](/kjv/psalms/6)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/6)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/6) Audio

 1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.**

 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I *am* weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

 3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

 4 Return, O LORD, 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 from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

 9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return *and* be ashamed suddenly.
 
[Psalms 5](/study/psalms/5) [Psalms 7](/study/psalms/7)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 6:0](/kjv/psalms/6/0). 

*David's complaint in his sickness: by faith he triumphs over his enemies.* 

To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith. 
A Psalm of David. 

*Title.*השׁמינית על *al hashsheminith. Upon Sheminith*] Some render it, *Upon the eighth.*The *Sheminith*is generally supposed to have been a harp of eight strings. It is so rendered by the Chaldee. Fenwick renders it, *on the unction;*the anointing of the Holy Spirit. See his Hebrew Titles, p. 18. It is probable, that David composed this psalm upon his recovery from some great sickness. He complains in it of some grievous disorder, heightened by the malicious joy of his enemies, from which he prays to be relieved; and in a fiducial dependance that his prayer will be heard, he triumphs in the disappointment of his enemies.
