< Psalms 6 >
1 Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?
4 Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your chesed ·loving-kindness’· sake.
5 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you? (Sheol )
6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of vain striving of iniquity, for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.
9 Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
