Psalms 6
1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?
4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.
Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? (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 wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth 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 mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
