Psalm
6: Penitence
Amos Wilson (May 4, 2014)
Rebuke
me not in your anger, Lord,
Tell
Justice to put up his sword.
Ignore
what I have done and said,
Remove
this guilt from off my head.
Not
only save me, Lord, but heal,
That I
not sin again nor feel,
This
wrath again, this sense of sin,
This
burden in my bones has been.
How
long? How long? How long, my Lord?
This
world's so wrong, so wrong, and scarred.
Return,
O Lord – my coming light,
With
steadfast love, come save my life!
If I
would die can I praise Thee?
In
Sheol will there worship be?
I cry
and weep, Lord do you hear?
My
bed's eroded with my tears.
My
eyes and strength may waste away,
My
foes surround me all the day.
Depart
from me! The sun is here!
The
dawn has come, so bright and clear.
Depart!
Depart! You evil men!
The
Lord has heard my cry ascend.
Vicimus!
Night has fled from here,
The
Lord receives and hears my prayer.
