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 octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

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

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

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

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

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

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy 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 there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (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 through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

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

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

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

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

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

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

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

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
