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.

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

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

3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

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

4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

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

5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (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 fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

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

8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

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

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

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

10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!

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