Psalm 6

Setting

LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not;

Free Church of Scotland psalter · L.M.

The words

LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not; In anger do not chasten me. Have mercy, LORD, for I am faint; LORD, heal me in my agony.

My soul with anguish is distressed. O LORD, how long will you delay? Turn to me, LORD, and free my soul; In steadfast love save me, I pray.

No one in death remembers you; Who from the grave can give you praise? My groaning weakens me; at night My bed is drenched with tears always.

My eyes grow weak with tears of grief; They fail because of all my foes. Away from me, you evil crowd! The LORD has listened to my woes.

The LORD has heard my prayer for help; The LORD has listened to my plea. My enemies, disgraced and shamed, Will turn back from me suddenly.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
