Psalms 6

1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,

Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,

3 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?

And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?

4 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.

Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.

5 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)

6 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

7 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.

My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,

8 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,

9 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.

YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
