1The title of the sixte salm. To the ouercomere in salmes, the salm of Dauid, `on the eiythe.
2Lord, repreue thou not me in thi stronge veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire.
3Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y am sijk; Lord, make thou me hool, for alle my boonys ben troblid.
4And my soule is troblid greetli; but thou, Lord, hou long?
5Lord, be thou conuertid, and delyuere my soule; make thou me saaf, for thi merci.
6For noon is in deeth, which is myndful of thee; but in helle who schal knouleche to thee?
7I traueilide in my weilyng, Y schal waische my bed bi ech nyyt; Y schal moiste, `ether make weet, my bedstre with my teeris.
8Myn iye is disturblid of woodnesse; Y waxe eld among alle myn enemyes.
9Alle ye that worchen wickidnesse, departe fro me; for the Lord hath herd the vois of my wepyng.
10The Lord hath herd my bisechyng; the Lord hath resseyued my preier.
11Alle my enemyes be aschamed, and be disturblid greetli; be thei turned togidere, and be thei aschamed ful swiftli.
Psalms 6
1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
