Psalms 6

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

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

Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?

4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your cheshed ·loving-kindness’· sake.

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

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you? (Sheol h7585)

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

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

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

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

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
