Psalms 6

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

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

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

Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?

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

Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your 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 memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (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 have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

My eye is old from provocation, It is 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.

Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,

9 The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

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

All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
