Psalms 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

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.

2 Have mercy on me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

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

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long?

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

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies’ sake.

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

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

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

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

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

7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxes old because of all my enemies.

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

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

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

9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

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

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