< Psalms 6 >

1 Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?
4 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.
Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your chesed ·loving-kindness’· sake.
5 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you? (Sheol h7585)
6 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all you workers of vain striving of iniquity, for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
