6:1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger.

Do not discipline me in your raging fury.

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am frail.

Heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking.

3 I am absolutely terrified,

and you, Lord—how long will this continue?
