Psalms 6:1

O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.

3 My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
