Psalms 6
1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
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, O LORD, for I languish away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; save me for Thy mercy's sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? (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 with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
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 the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD 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 sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
