Psalm 6:3 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 6.

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. 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?

4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

5 For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?

6 I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7 My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
