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 Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury 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.
Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
3 Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?
And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
4 Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.
Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy 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 there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to 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 have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
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].
Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
8 You people who do evil things, get away from me!
Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah 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 my prayer receiveth.
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.
Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
