Psalm 6, Chant E

Chant H

 

Psalm 6   Domine, ne in furore

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your an-ger; *
do not punish me in your wrath.

2 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; *
heal me, LORD, for my bones are racked.

3 My spirit shakes with ter-ror; *
how long, O LORD, how long?

4 Turn, O LORD, and de-li-ver me; *
save me for your mer-cy’s sake.

Chant H

5 For in death no one re-mem-bers you; *
and who will give you thanks in the grave?

6 I grow weary because of my groan-ing; *
every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.

7 My eyes are wasted with grief *
and worn away because of all my en-emies.

8 Depart from me, all e-vil-do-ers, *
for the LORD has heard the sound of my weep-ing.

Chant H

9 The LORD has heard my sup-pli-ca-tion; *
the LORD accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear; *
they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
