Psalms 6
1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] YHWH, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.
Be gracious to me, YHWH, for I am frail. YHWH, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, YHWH, how long?
4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.
Return, YHWH. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for YHWH has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.
YHWH has heard my plea. YHWH has accepted my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
