Psalms 6

1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments on the sheminith a psalm of David. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and may not in wrath your you discipline me.

Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry [with me]; Do not even rebuke/scold me [when you are angry].

2 Show favor to me O Yahweh for [am] frail I heal me O Yahweh for they are disturbed bones my.

Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.

3 And self my it is disturbed exceedingly (and you *Q(K)*) O Yahweh until when?

Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?

4 Return! O Yahweh rescue! life my save me on account of covenant loyalty your.

Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.

5 For there not in death [is] remembrance of you in Sheol who? will he give thanks to you. (Sheol h7585)

I will not be able to praise you after I die [RHQ]; No one in the place of the dead praises you. (Sheol h7585)

6 I have become weary - by groaning my I make swim in every night bed my with tear[s] my couch my I melt.

I am exhausted/groan [from my pain]. At night I cry very much, with the result that my bed and my pillow become wet from my tears.

7 It has wasted away from grief eye my it has grown weak with all opposers my.

My tears blur my eyes so much that I cannot see well. My eyes have become weak because my enemies [have caused me to cry constantly].

8 Turn away from me O all [those who] do wickedness for he has heard Yahweh [the] sound of weeping my.

You people who do evil things, get away from me!

9 He has heard Yahweh supplication my Yahweh prayer my he will accept.

Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him [to help me], and he will answer my prayer.

10 May they be ashamed - and they may be disturbed exceedingly all enemies my they will turn back they will be ashamed a moment.

[When that happens], all my enemies will be ashamed, and they will [also] be terrified. They will get away [from me] and suddenly [leave me] because they will be disgraced.
