Page 13 - Your Extravagant Kindness

Psalm 6

Eternal, do not test me in anger,
do not purify me with the heat of your fury.

Have mercy, Holy One, I am weak.

Heal me, O Godde, I ache to the bone
and my soul is greatly troubled.

Holy One, when?

Repent, Eternal One, deliver my soul.

In your kindness, save me.

The dead cannot testify to your deeds.

Who could give thanks to you among the dead?

Weary, sighing, I meditate upon my bed
throughout the night

my mattress is soaked with tears.

I am provoked by images of my struggles

Turn my iniquities away from me.

The Holy One has heard my weeping,
the Eternal has heard my plea.
Holy One, you have accepted my prayer.

In just one moment you turn back my enemies, shame and trouble!
