Psalms 6

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are agitated.

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul is also greatly disquieted: but thou, O LORD, how long?

My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies sake.

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.

5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who will give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly disquieted: let them return [and] be suddenly ashamed.

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
