Psalms 6:2
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
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?
4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
