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 Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy 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 LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
3 And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?
My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake.
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 I make 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,
My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of 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 will receive 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 greatly troubled: let them return and be suddenly ashamed.
