< 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.
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 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.
Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
3 And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?
And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
4 Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.
Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? (Sheol h7585)
For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (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 have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
7 Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
