[ 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
 
**Rebuke me not,** i.e. do not chasten or correct me, as the next clause explains it, and as this word is frequently used, as [Job 22:4](/kjv/job/22/4); [Psalms 50:21](/kjv/psalms/50/21); [Isaiah 37:4](/kjv/isaiah/37/4); [Revelation 3:19](/kjv/revelation/3/19). 

**In thine anger;** with rigour or severity, as my sins deserve, but with gentleness and moderation, [Jeremiah 10:24](/kjv/jeremiah/10/24); [Jeremiah 46:28](/kjv/jeremiah/46/28), or so as it may not be the effect of thy strict justice or anger, but of thy mercy and faithfulness. 

**Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure;** the same thing repeated, after the manner.
