Psalms 6
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
O YHWH, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; for I am weak: O YHWH, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O YHWH, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Return, O YHWH, deliver my soul: oh 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 am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for YHWH hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
