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, with stringed Instruments upon the eighth. A Melody of David. O Yahweh! do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me.
2 Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.
Show me favour, O Yahweh, for languishing am I: Heal me, O Yahweh, —for dismayed are my bones:
3 Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?
Yea, my soul, is dismayed greatly, Thou, then, O Yahweh—how long?
4 Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.
Return, O Yahweh, deliver my soul, Save me, for the sake of thy lovingkindness;
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, is no remembrance of thee, —In hades, 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 weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch, —With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve:
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 face, is all sunken with sorrow, —it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.
8 You people who do evil things, get away from me!
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh 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.
Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, 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.
Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.
