Psalms 6

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

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not 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.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

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

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

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

Return, Jehovah, free 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 thanks unto thee? (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 wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve 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].

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath 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 hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth 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 mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
