Psalms 6
1 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.
In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell? (Sheol h7585)
6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
