< Psalms 6 >
1 For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?
My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake.
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
5 For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol )
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol )
6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
8 Depart from me, all you that work 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 listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
