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.

Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

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

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

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

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

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

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

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

For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (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 have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

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

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

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 the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

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

The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

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

Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
