Psalms 6

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise 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.

Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.

All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
