Psalms 6
1 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.
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.
2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
8 Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
9 The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
