psalms 6:1 <To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

psalms 6:1 [For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David]. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Thine anger, Nor chasten me in Thy wrath.

Ps 6:1-10. On Neginoth (See on Ps 4:1, title) upon Sheminith--the eighth--an instrument for the eighth key; or, more probably, the bass, as it is contrasted with Alamoth (the treble, Ps 46:1) in 1Ch 15:20, 21. In deep affliction the Psalmist appeals to God's mercy for relief from chastisement, which otherwise must destroy him, and thus disable him for God's service. Sure of a gracious answer, he triumphantly rebukes his foes.

psalms 6:1 [For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David]. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Thine anger, Nor chasten me in Thy wrath.
