1. Psalm 6.
O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger: nor chastise me in Thy wrath.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
My soul also is troubled exceedingly: but Thou, O Lord, how long?
Turn Thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for Thy mercy's sake.
For in death there is no one that is mindful of Thee: and who will give Thee thanks in hell?
I have labored in my groanings, every night will I wash my bed: and water my couch with my tears.
Mine eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all mine enemies.
- ↑ It is a pious custom to recite the seven Penitential Psalms, respectively, by way of prayer against the seven deadly sins.
