Psalms 6
1 For the End, a Psalm of David amongst the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.
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 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
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 grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?
My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's 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 wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.
8 Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
