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 chief musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh, 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.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am frail; heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking.
3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?
My soul also is very troubled. But you, Yahweh—how long will this continue?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.
Return, Yahweh! rescue me. Save me because of your covenant faithfulness!
For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who will give you thanks? (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 with my groaning. All night I drench my bed with tears; I wash my couch away with my tears.
7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
My eyes grow dim from grief; they grow weak because of all my adversaries.
8 Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Get away from me, all you who practice iniquity; for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy; Yahweh has accepted 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 greatly troubled. They will turn back and be suddenly humiliated.
