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.

O Yhwh, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

Have mercy upon me, O Yhwh; for I am weak: O Yhwh, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

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

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Yhwh, how long?

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

Return, O Yhwh, deliver my soul: oh save 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 grave who shall give thee thanks? (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 weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine 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 Yhwh hath heard the voice of my weeping.

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

Yhwh hath heard my supplication; Yhwh will receive my prayer.

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

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
