Psalms 6
1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
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 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.
Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.
I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9 Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
