Psalm 6:1

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
