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 him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

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

Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

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

My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

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

Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies 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 the graue who shall prayse 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 fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

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

Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

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

Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

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

The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
