Psalms 6

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

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

Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

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

My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?

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

Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your chesed ·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 memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· 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 am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

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

My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows 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.

Depart from me, all you workers of vain striving of iniquity, for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.

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

Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.

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

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
