THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 6:5 in context
Psalms 6:2–8
2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint.
LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3
My soul is also in great anguish.
But you, LORD—how long?
4
Return, LORD. Deliver my soul,
and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
6
I am weary with my groaning.
Every night I flood my bed.
I drench my couch with my tears.
7
My eye wastes away because of grief.
It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,
for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
