Psalm 6

Edward Collier, 1911

1. No longer, Lord, despise me,
   Nor in Thy wrath chastise me;
   Thy mercy I implore.
   How long Thine anger cherish?
   Consumed thereby I perish;
   My soul is troubled sore.
   
2. To me, O Lord, returning,
   Save Thou, with pity yearning.
   Shall death Thy memory keep?
   Or shall the grave confess Thee?
   Or I give thanks and bless Thee
   While day and night I weep?
   
3. The Lord my God will hear me,
   And when I pray be near me,
   To put my foes to shame;
   Turned back, no more to grieve me,
   They suddenly shall leave me.
   All glory to His Name!
