Psalms 6
American King James Version
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy on me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies’ sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxes old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

American King James Version Produced by Stone Engelbrite This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely. I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
