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.

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 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

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

3 My soul also is grievously 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: save me for your mercy's sake.

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

5 For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)

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

6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with 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 troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out 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 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 receiveth 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 ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
