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.

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

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

Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,

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

And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?

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

Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.

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

For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (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 have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

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

My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,

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

Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,

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

YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

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

All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
