Psalms

Psalm 6:6–9

⁶I am weary from groaning;

all night I flood my bed with weeping

and drench my couch with tears.

⁷My eyes fail from grief;

they grow dim because of all my foes.

⁸Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,

for the LORD has heard my weeping.

⁹The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;

the LORD accepts my prayer.
