(\'Oft in danger, oft in woe\')
Psalm 6
********
O Lord, rebuke me not in
Your anger, though I do sin
Nor chasten me in your hot
Displeasure, maintain my lot
O Lord, have mercy on me
For I am weak, O Lord, see
Heal me, my bones are troubled
Yet unto you I have called
My soul very troubled is
But, O Lord, how long be this?
Return, O Lord, save my soul
By your merices make me whole
For in death no memory
Of you, in grave how can be?
That mortals thanks to you give
Though you, Lord, do ever live
I am weary with groaning
I do weep and not much sing
My eyes are sore through grieving
Enemies me oppressing
Depart from me, you who work
Iniquity, secret lurk
To me trap, but the Lord He
Heard my weeping mournfully
The Lord my prayer He has heard
He will true receive each word
So let enemies ashamed
Be, the Lord\'s mercy has reigned
