Psalms 6
1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] YHWH, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither 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 gracious to me, YHWH, for I am frail. YHWH, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, YHWH, how long?
4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.
Return, YHWH. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you 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 I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
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 YHWH has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.
YHWH has heard my plea. YHWH has accepted 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.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
