Psalms 6

1 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.

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

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

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

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

4 Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.

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

5 For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)

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

6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

7 My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,

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

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
