< Psalms 6 >

1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהֹוָה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
חׇנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי אֻמְלַל ־ אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָֽי׃
3 I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד (ואת) [וְאַתָּה] יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָֽי׃
4 Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃
5 For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)
כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽךְ׃ (Sheol h7585)
6 My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
יָגַעְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכׇל־לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶֽה׃
7 With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכׇל־צוֹרְרָֽי׃
8 Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה קוֹל בִּכְיִֽי׃
9 The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה תְּחִנָּתִי יְהֹוָה תְּֽפִלָּתִי יִקָּֽח׃
10 All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
יֵבֹשׁוּ ׀ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כׇּל־אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָֽגַע׃
