For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. + 6:1 Sheminith is probably a musical term; here and in 1 Chronicles 15:21|1CH 15:21 and Psalm 12:1. A Psalm of David.
61<To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.+2Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.+3My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?+4Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.+5For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?+6The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.+7My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.+8Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.+9The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.+10Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.+
