Psalms 6

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

O YHWH, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; for I am weak: O YHWH, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O YHWH, how long?

4 Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

Return, O YHWH, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

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

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

6 I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

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

7 Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for YHWH hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
