Psalms 6

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

לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ בִּ֭נְגִינֹות עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ֥ תֹוכִיחֵ֑נִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃

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

חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י אֻמְלַ֫ל אָ֥נִי רְפָאֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י נִבְהֲל֣וּ עֲצָמֽ͏ָי׃

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

וְ֭נַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וְאַתְּ (וְאַתָּ֥ה) יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַד־מָתָֽי׃

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

שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חַלְּצָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י הֹ֝ושִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃

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)

כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין בַּמָּ֣וֶת זִכְרֶ֑ךָ בִּ֝שְׁאֹ֗ול מִ֣י יֹֽודֶה־לָּֽךְ׃ (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.

יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכָל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה׃

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].

עָֽשְׁשָׁ֣ה מִכַּ֣עַס עֵינִ֑י עָֽ֝תְקָ֗ה בְּכָל־צֹורְרָֽי׃

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

ס֣וּרוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַ֥ע יְ֝הוָ֗ה קֹ֣ול בִּכְיִֽי׃

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

שָׁמַ֣ע יְ֭הוָה תְּחִנָּתִ֑י יְ֝הוָ֗ה תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י יִקָּֽח׃

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.

יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ וְיִבָּהֲל֣וּ מְ֭אֹד כָּל־אֹיְבָ֑י יָ֝שֻׁ֗בוּ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רָֽגַע׃
