Psalms 6

1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

To the ouercomere in salmes, the salm of Dauid, `on the eiythe. Lord, repreue thou not me in thi stronge veniaunce; nether chastice thou me in thin ire.

2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y am sijk; Lord, make thou me hool, for alle my boonys ben troblid.

3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

And my soule is troblid greetli; but thou, Lord, hou long?

4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.

Lord, be thou conuertid, and delyuere my soule; make thou me saaf, for thi merci.

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

For noon is in deeth, which is myndful of thee; but in helle who schal knouleche to thee? (Sheol h7585)

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

I traueilide in my weilyng, Y schal waische my bed bi ech nyyt; Y schal moiste, `ether make weet, my bedstre with my teeris.

7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

Myn iye is disturblid of woodnesse; Y waxe eld among alle myn enemyes.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

Alle ye that worchen wickidnesse, departe fro me; for the Lord hath herd the vois of my wepyng.

9 Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.

The Lord hath herd my bisechyng; the Lord hath resseyued my preier.

10 All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.

Alle my enemyes be aschamed, and be disturblid greetli; be thei turned togidere, and be thei aschamed ful swiftli.
