Psalms 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy 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 upon 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 thou, 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 thy mercies’ sake.

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

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee 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 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

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

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath 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 hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

10 Let all mine 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.
