Psalms 6

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

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

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

My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

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

Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.

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

For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 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.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

7 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].

My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

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

Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.

10 [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.

All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.
