Psalms 6

1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

2 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am frail; heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking.

Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul also is very troubled. But you, Yahweh—how long will this continue?

My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

4 Return, Yahweh! rescue me. Save me because of your covenant faithfulness!

Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who will give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning. All night I drench my bed with tears; I wash my couch away with my tears.

I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

7 My eyes grow dim from grief; they grow weak because of all my adversaries.

Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

8 Get away from me, all you who practice iniquity; for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

9 Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.

The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly troubled. They will turn back and be suddenly humiliated.

All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.
